Host Order

[edit] Overview

This is an advanced topic for advanced players. This is a list of steps that the host will run through as your turn is processed. Some players will want to know how their submitted orders will process, in which order, so that they can maximum spending, movement, ship devices, etc. When a turn processes, it runs through the Host utility. All of the TRN files from players are combined into a set of instructions for the Host to process using the Universe data that it has been given. The set of instructions that the Host has will always occur in a certain order. That order can sway the decisions that you make during the creation of a player's TRN file using the Planets client.

[edit] Host Order Steps

[edit] Pre-Movement

  1. Counts for objects, Colonists, Crew, Troops, High Guard, and Prisoners are totaled for each player. New Cyborg King is placed if deceased.

  4. Ships and Bases are counted.
  5. Pending orders from prior turns are read from Host Files (UNIV folder).
  6. TRN files are read and new orders are merged with pending orders.

[edit] Feature Requests

  • Process the player HQ commands prior to global tax collection so that the tax policy changes will take effect immediately.
  • Process ship device switch changes prior to blockade check so that cloakers can decloak prior. This will also allow contraband lockdown to be enabled/disabled prior to buy/sell contraband.
  • Process base command codes prior to ship launch so that the NOO command code will take effect the first turn.
  • Force the sale of contraband prior to ship build, pod launch, etc so that the money is available for those.
  • Do not allow contraband to be bought/sold by other players using Allow Commands.
