Question for Creators
I have found that something is happening in my planet, something which I cannot "explain" by reading through the rules...
To wit:
I started my planet as Zikonian. I did the quests through Res Ctr build, and had 6m 6c and 6 e roids initiated. My remaining res amount was 350 of each type.
I then performed a planet re-set, thinking I could maybe do the ETD switch up/trade deal, and start instead with 5m 5c 8e. It turned out I was about 46 e short of having 8 e roids. I thought 6 6 6 was better, and I'd balance with later roid init, so I performed another re-set, to get back to 6 6 6...
When I did my re-set, and completed the quest etc, now I only have 200 of each resource type. I have done a couple other re-sets, and it seems that I remember having even MORE than 350 of each type of res after my 6 6 6 init pattern before, but I cannot be certain of that. I AM certain I had 350 of each left before this latest re-set though, and I am also certain I now have only 200 of each...
My question is:
Is there a "hidden cost" to performing a re-set this round, prior to tick start?
Is there some negative effect on quest bonuses after taking a re-set? (I have also noted that I do NOT need to re-do all the quests; merely initiating roids/applying to an alliance takes me immediately back to the res ctr quest)
Is there something I am missing that says this is supposed to happen?

Re: Question for Creators
There aint a "hidden cost" but sometimes if you reset and Planet 1:1:1 doesnt remove his mails, you wont get the bonus from that and can't finnish some quests. Thats why you are few resources late. But few ress here or there doesn't matter anything.
e: Might be misstaken then, sowwy

Re: Question for Creators
I don't think it is because of the mail to 1.1.1 quest...
i got the bonus for mailing before the re-set (1 of ea roid).
As for it not "mattering", it does matter because as a result of res lost SOMEWHERE, I cannot get to a 5 5 8 roid ratio to start. this should be possible for a zik, by using the etd trade option, because I know some who have done it.
Because I am somehow "losing" resources by re-setting, I cannot re-set and get to the 5 5 8 ratio.
sure...it isn;t a huge thing, but it is a small annoyance!

Re: Question for Creators
I can't really be bothered to check this now, but I seem to remember it happening because you finish the quests right away after reseting, therefore you'll have a couple of extra roids and your initial init cost will be higher.

Why make fuss for something as unimportant as this?

Quoted for truth. Deleting your sent mails and forum posts is supposed to fix this.

Re: Question for Creators
The reason I asked wasn't to moan aobut the "loss"; I am fully aware of the fact it is minor...
But what I WAS doing was switching races frequently so I could make suggestions for research/construction/bonus use patterns to people. If I was going to CONTINUE losing resources for each and every re-set, it did not look to be long before I could not initiate to 18 roids at the start...
A single re-set made no difference really (hence me not "noticing" it for sure on the first re-set), but the cumulative effects of numerous re-sets could be damaging.
Thank you for responses.

Re: Question for Creators
Timing of when you initiated the roids is the key, one of the quests gives you roids, you have to iniate before that otherwise your iniating costs rise and you get less.

Re: Question for Creators
Well I for one think that this is an absolute travesty, and the admins better do something about it right away!
Imagine if this happened to someone you know... it'd almost certainly ruin their round. They'd start at an immediate disadvantage, and couldn't possibly catch up with everybody else.
It's game over - they might as well delete their account, put a gun to their head and pull the trigger.
Fix it.
