Troubleshooting

What to check when the map, orders, deposits, or interface do not behave as expected.

← Player GuidesCatalog ID: troubleshooting

Restart after replacing Unity scripts

Unity can retain stale compilation state after a large overlay. If types appear missing even though their files exist, allow import to finish and restart the Editor before changing code.

Check the balance profile

A public server should report the production Persistent World profile. Rapid Test deliberately makes one game-hour equal one real minute and should only be used to verify features.

A rich resource marker is not visible

Rich Iron, Coal, Oil, and Rare Earth sites require the reveal technology, exploration, the correct map layer, and a queried location. Iron, Coal, and Oil extraction does not require a rich marker: select ordinary claimed land and review its terrain yield in the construction quote. Rare Earths still require a revealed deposit.

A building or route is unavailable

Check settlement tier, technology, cost, workforce, construction crews, territory ownership, land or water type, spacing, selected Mine resource, network starting point, and facility capacity. Use the quote message before retrying.

Server and client disagree

Record the exact endpoint or action, server version, Unity version, balance profile, coordinates or H3 cell, timestamp, and error code. Never post authorization tokens, purchase receipts, database addresses, or secret configuration.
