First outpost being misnamed and not protected

Official Bug Reports
1

I planted on a world. while still being in protection, i created an outpost. the outpost got named “[my name]'s outpost 5” instead of 1 or whatever the first outpost gets numbered. The outpost i created did not have protection as outposts usually do when created while in protection. one thing i will add is that after making my colony, i used a name change boost before making the outpost. is it possible that the name change affected the outpost that was later created in some way?

(also nobody even uses the advisors thing. why does it even exist? this isnt Civilizations smh)

I’m going to test this for you, but I think you can only placed a limited number of protected OPs while under protection

i only made one. hopefully that is within the allowed limit

i’ve messaged the admin of that world and will update the forum with their response, unless they do so themselves.

It’s because you may have dropped a few Sat-scans. Sat scans are counted as op numbers so if you dropped 4 satscans before you dropped the outpost, it’d be #5

its ironic that knowing how awful i am at the game, you dont consider me a noob. i deserve more protection than anyone else if it is actually based on skill level

Couldn’t replicate the no protection, op was still named OP 5 after 4 sats. I had waited for a few ticks after planting too. Odd

Hello Kaen, I’m sure it’s a glitch like many of the other glitches we often see on BD these days…but I’ve been personally informed by Alex that BD 2 will be glitch free…that’s right glitch free…and if you believe any of what I just said…I have that ocean front property to sell you in the Mohabi Desert as well.

But truly I have heard that when @Alexander took over as CEO of BD that he put in a new noobiness meter…and looks like on a scale of 1 to 5 you are a 5.

Thank you for contacting BD customer service and have a nice day!
