Is my plant alive ?

Hi all.

I was participating to the contest of Japan.
My animal was not able to be survived.
Because I knew the existence of this server, I will challenge making of the animal again.

At first, I introduced my plant.
After a few minutes, my system could receive the other animals.

I wanted to know whether my plant was recognized to the server.
After a few hours, I checked the server.
However, my plant population is zero.

I pushed the "Reintroduce Animal..." button.
My plant was certainly added to the server list.

My plant is still alive. Why?



Next problems.

I opened terrarium on local mode (not ecosystem mode).
I wanted to get other animals from server.
However, I could't get the server list.
Why ?


WindowsXP Japanese.
Terrarium version 1.0.21.281


Regards.

I'm not saying that this is the cause, but one possible reason for your plant issue would be that at least one plant still exists in a terrarium who's statistics are not included by the stats server.  For some reason (to prevent a someone from cheating, but I don't know how), when you delete your gamestate.bin file to start with a clean terrarium (i.e. when introducing your own organism) your terrarium is banned from the stats for (supposedly) 48 hours.

I haven't a clue about the server list issue.  Do you get any kind of error message, or does the list just come up empty?  What version(s) of .Net do you have installed?

Thanks.

I installed VisualStudio.NET and Terrarium again.
Next, I reintroduced my plant.
After a few hours, my plant population was not zero.
But, I couldn't receive server list in the local mode.

I tried to install Terrarium in another PC.
No problem!

I don't think that the perfect uninstall of Terrarium is being done.



Regards.
