Summary0026880: Supercat does not like low framerate or dyson spheres
DescriptionWhen the framerate gets low enough, AI forgets how to respond to hacks. This part was not an intentional exploit; my CPU will be sobbing softly in the corner for at least a few weeks.

What allowed it to get this bad: I repeatedly started and cancelled hacks in order to feed AI response forces to the Nanocaust. Despite the tooltip stating otherwise, cancelling hacks in progress did not cost me any hacking points. My punishment for this sin was aggravation of my carpal tunnel from several hours spent growing my unholy golden swarm (mostly) safely behind the protection of a Dyson sphere.

Enemies (AI and Dark Zenith) also really, really like to cluster forces around Dyson spheres and neglect to use those forces for anything else until their numbers get REALLY high. Given that there was a Dyson sphere between me and the rest of the universe, I was able to survive the brutal early game while my blue friends were repeatedly slaughtered as a scapegoat for my actions. Did they deserve it? Not sure. But this game definitely deserves game of the year, whichever year it came out.

GG.

Hard to debug this without a save game to reproduce the problem; could you upload a save and some instructions on how to trigger the problem?
