How advance cloning works? I have advance cloning, now...

How advance cloning works? I have advance cloning, now there is more that 500 ships in the game, so I put a Star Base with fc = PB1 and the ship I want to clone with fc = cln
The star base have a ship in construction. The next turn it turns out that my ship was not cloned but the ship that was in contructions was constructed (killing a lot of my PBP :( ))
Next I say ok, not to have the planet in PB1, just the ship in cln
It did not work neither

Can someone give me a hint how this advance cloning works?

RE: How advance cloning works? I have advance cloning, now...

did you have the tech/resources needed to clone that ship?

IIRC, having the parts at the SB does not work. you need the SB to have ALL the needed tech and all minerals and MC (double !) have to be on the planet.

hope this helps, GhostWriter

Planet on pbx with no ship in the build queue.

ship on cln.

Enough PP to pay for the ship.

If it was a legal clone and you could not clone it as you did not have enough tech levels or money or minerals you will get an error message even if not on PB1.

Did you activate the advanced cloning after the game started as campaign advantages are only valid when activated when you start a game?

Are you in a PQ game or the original game?

I believe if you are in a normal game a normal build trumps a clone.

But this would not explain the second turn.

What race are you and what are your trying to clone?

Most probably advanced cloning been bought after the start of a game.

Hi guys, tx for your answers, I have the tech and the resources, I activatedr advance cloning before the game started and the game is in campaign mode. So i guess that Singularity explained here, so it loolk like that the SB building has priority over the cloning, so I need to tell the host that reserve for me a priority position for building with pbX fc but I do not have to put ships in building in the SB but a ship with cln in orbit, I will try that. Singularity I assume that you try this before and it works.

I tested advanced cloning a few months back, but tbh I can't remember the results 100%. I do remember it was a bit flaky.

I don't have time this weekend to retest it, so take my initial comment as speculation only.

Building takes priority over cloning.
So if you want to clone make sure the SB is not set to build.
95% sure I've done it that way but a bit too lazy to look it up.

In production queue, priority builds are before cloning. See #39 - priority builds...then #40 is cloning.

IIRC in the classic PBP system, advanced cloning did take precedence over a regular build. So it may depend on which queue system is in the game in question.

Deeeep sadness and frustration :((((((,,,,
I failed to clone again. The game is campaign enable and production queue, right now there are 519 total ship
I have all the money all the technology in my SB and 3 times the minerals that I need, I set the planet with fc=pb1, nothing building at the SB, but a ship in orbit with fc=cln.....result = not cloning ..........buaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!
help plase!

Obviously cloning is a bad thing. Take your multiple warnings and stop this insanity technology. If cloning were a good thing, the borg would be doing it and not need to assimilate...Ra :)

Only other thing would be a lack of Priority Points. I know it sounds basic but do you have enough for that ship?

RE: How advance cloning works? I have advance cloning, now...

Are you sure you have advanced cloning activated? Go to home page of the game. Advantages tab and it is in the active list and not in the not active list?

What race are you? What are you trying to clone?

Do you get a message saying you are lacking anything?

If you are not it means that you are not allowed to clone.

The fact you priority built in the first place indicates you have put in a PBX code though. SO you are getting that right though :-).

I think you need to use the contact button at the bottom of the page, put in the game and star base and which turns you failed etc.

If you get an answer please tell us even if its a silly reason though :-)

RE: How advance cloning works? I have advance cloning, now...

It is a race that can clone and I do have the advance cloning feature activated and the kind of ship Im trying to clone can not make a difference. Now the only think I do not know for sure is whether the ability was activated at the time to start this game. I believe it was but since I found not posible explanation for this I start to doubt about that. Is there any way to know which ability were activated at the beginning of a given game?

RE: How advance cloning works? I have advance cloning, now...

@Rsk yes I have the PBP, btw I only need 224 PBP to clon this one. It is a SUPER RUSH GORBIE DESINTEGRATOR with 3000 kt of mass, and 52 bay of fitgthers (not to mention 25 beans with double speed). On top of that the ship is equipped with a special device designed to search find and kill any guy that wear darth vader suit. As you will notice the shp was given to me directly by princesa leia, I was expecting to have 2 of them before starting an assault to an annoying imperial neighbor, but it looks like i will have to use the only one I have. I hope it will be enough.

That will be quite the ship. I can't to see it ;). How many PBP's does it award it I blow it up?

Did you ever figure out what's preventing the Adv Clone from happening??

not really! i need to know if there is a way to figure it out which were my settings before to start this game.

@Sudakan,

If you select "Play" and go to the HOME desktop, look down the list of options on the left pane, near the bottom is "Advantages". This will show you what is turned on or not for the race you are playing.

If you took over for someone and they did not have it your are SOOL.
As Spectre said look at your advantages and it will tell you. I bet you don't have it enabled!

I am playing similar game now to you describe and it works Fine for me, the trick is if you don't have enough to clone it you will get an error.

From: Starbase
The planet lacks the minerals and/or credits required to clone the ship Old Smokey ID#75. Required:
Megacredits : 1956
Duranium: 138
Tritanium: 61
Molybdenum: 170

If you get an error and have a ship in the build it will build it instead, so make sure you don't if you are unsure!

When you do have the FC set to PB# and the criteria is met you will clone and get this:

From: Starbase
We have cloned the ship Old Smokey ID#75. Materials used:
Megacredits : 1956
Duranium: 138
Tritanium: 61
Molybdenum: 170

I use multiple FC like pb7 and such and works fine, we are at over 500 ships as well.
