You can make buildings obsolete_by other buildings, but that appears to only actually get checked and the obsolete building sold off when you learn a new tech. I opened an issue for this - https://redmine.freeciv.org/issues/2087 Also opened an issue for the bug mentioned earlier about the F6 tech t...

Similar to what John said, here's what I use for everything I add to my custom rulesets (because the AI's are dumb enough already) reqs={"type","name","range","present" ... <whatever> ... "AI","Restricted","Player",FALSE "AI&...

I also noticed this problem, also affecting the bug tracking system (which I think is also on the same host). Seems to be better now.

Making an improvement is easy, just have to program the improvement to increase commerce depending on how many turns it has been in the game. The Counter types in game.ruleset can help with this. It's not well documented and there's no examples in the supplied rulesets. Also requires having somethi...

Played some more with this and could not get the hex volcanoes_tileset to work. It never shows up in the options dialog, not sure why. More minor differences: - I have the road_time=6 for volcanoes same as for mountains. - I only allow roads to be built on volcanoes, no rails or maglevs. - I have th...

This is awesome, thanks. I also did an implementation of volcanoes and eruptions in my dino3 ruleset https://forum.freeciv.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=91837&start=30 Mine is much simpler - I do a similar thing in the script.lua to place the volcanoes after the map_generated signal, but I don't have na...

I'm on a much older Mac (11.7) and building with MacPorts because homebrew doesn't support Macs that old. I have found gtk4 client very buggy - when it first comes up the menubar doesn't work, have to change to another app and change back to get it to work. It also prints out tons of warnings. I sus...

I haven't been able to figure out how to actually open a ticket. I don't think the freeciv bug tracker likes my browser.

You need to have an account and be logged in. Then you should see a "New issue" clickable link in the upper right.

Even when you cannot build Barracks II by yourself, you may conquer a city with one. I hadn't considered the possibility of capturing a city with a newer Barracks tha...

Also, annoyingly, the tech-tree skein generator for the Research tab apparently doesn't distinguish between positive and negative tech requirements, so City Walls appear on the tech tree under both Masonry and Construction, with no indication that the latter makes it so you can't build them. and li...
