Missed typos in the latest build:
...
In name_gen_data.csv
line 919 (Big Ping)
A typo in the tags field: "plane" instead of "planet"

Fixed these all up, thank you!

Brilliant has "No description... yet"

It doesn't appear in codex, but this could still be annoying with mods and/or when mousing over the bottom-left of screen in the Tab overview screen.

The description of transplutonic ore/metal appears to be wrong. I'm not an expert I'm just gleaning this from wikipedia. Maybe this is an argument for just calling it Rare Metal.

Quote
Refined heavy and exotic elements including rare earths, actinides, and more exotic elements essential to advanced industrial and research applications.

Transplutonic means with a higher atomic number than plutonium (Z = 94)

rare earths: Z = 21-71  These are not transplutonic
actinides: Z = 89 - 103 These are fine
more exotic elements: Vague is always safe; these are fine.

It's fine if sci-fi makes up new terms. But I don't see the point of taking a real term, which this iscitation, and using it incorrectly. Starsector already does this with 'mothball' and 'skeleton crew,' and it's annoying.

Ah jeez, this is error due to a holdover from when it was "rare metals". We tightened the definition with the rename but I neglected to update the description. Will fix! (Because this sort of thing drives me crazy as well.)

The description of Neutrino Detector ability has "(...)and occasionally fleets - at exteme ranges" - the R from extreme is missing.

Got another one:
When you try to attack friendly independents with transponder on, the dialog will say "The the independents are not currently hostile, and you have been positively identified(...)". There's a double "the" at the beginning.

In the process of testing a custom Scintilla (the destroyer-sized Remnant carrier) variant, stumbled upon this:

"The Scintilla light carrier is able to deploy two wings of drone fighters in combat. Although only able to mount light beam weapons, the Scintilal may bear a formidible missile loadout."

(Actually I only noticed the first one initially, but the text box I'm typing in here is showing "formidible" as a typo too, and I'm pretty sure it should be "formidable".)

data/variants contains a tempest_Balanced, which just seems to be a tempest_Attack (including having the same ID) with a bunch of stuff missing. It should be deleted.

Related to this, the description for Plasma Jets: "Provides a brief but exteme boost..."

The word "polity" is actually spelled "policy".

Examples:

One of the colony attributes is named "Urbanized Polity".

Also:

There are a few instances of the word "polity".

Independents' displayNameLong is "the independents". Like, if I wanted the "the" there, I'd just use displayNameLongWithArticle, no?

I think I found a typo/bug?

I jumped into a nebula that called itself "Sargasso of $Parent" down by my hotbar while I flew through it.
