YET ANOTHER NEW VERSION OF TESLA

It's deja vu all over again! For the third issue running, we have to announce that the Tesla planet checker for Windows has been updated. The newest version has an additional check which will complain if you have more than one location flagged as an exchange.

This is thanks to a player who recently became a Founder, and was puzzled to discover that her exchange did not appear to be working - she was standing there watching the screens, but there were no prices scrolling by on the ticker. Doing a remote price check for the planet did get results, so clearly the planet did have an economy! It turned out that four different locations had the exchange property set, and when the game loaded in the files it took the highest-numbered of those and ignored the others.

Now that Tesla checks for this, it shouldn't be a problem in the future, but no doubt the ever-inventive planet builder will find something new to get wrong!

Meanwhile, you can update your copy of Tesla here.
