marines gain experience while stationed here

I don't understand the meaning of the word "stationed" in this case. Should the Marines be left in storage? Are the ones in the Resource Stockpile tab getting the training? Should a detachment with marines orbit the planet?
I'm asking because I don't see any numbers change, after many months I get the same zero experience marines. It's either I'm doing something wrong or the feature doesn't work.

Dont know if anyone has been having the same issue with Supercomputers since the new patch but maybe someone knows the solution, my supercomputer keeps eating IA cores every single day, the tooltip says that it only has 0 months remaining. Anyone know a fix for this?

Tx in advance!

How the Watchtower detection mechanism work exactly? It seems that it bypasses the Sensor algorithm entirely? Meaning that even if going dark, at a range of 3000 from them, you end up being spotted.

Yes. It won't notify any patrol tho. Only the artillery know where you are at and where to aim.

That's odd, and I'm not sure I appreciate a mechanism that functions differently from the rest. I'll likely not activate it for my next playthrough. I find it jarring when something behaves differently from the expected rules, without plausibility. It's as if I had a module where a ship does not use up fuel when the Cycle number is odd. I have the same feeling here. Watchover completely bypasses the Detection mechanism, which is finely ingrained in the game, just because "it's magic."
That said, the mod author rules supreme and I appreciate greatly his awesome work. Take it as constructive criticism.

Else it make said place impossible to sneak in or open fire upon you with your transponder off even if you have a good relationship with them. I'm not too keen of this myself but you have to step aside some realism in order to not make a game/mod too frustrating to play.

If you want to be miserable you could try bother SirHartley enough to make it happen.

You can sneak up on the towers and hack them to prevent them from noticing you.

I'll try that, thanks.

I think I have a bug, all my fleet was lost except for my 2 tankers, and my space dog should have been lost (he was not onboard the 2 remaining tankers anyway), but I still got a message next month he was starving from lack of food!

EDIT: Next month, reported as dead. So almost not a bug, the food warning was undue though.

Privateer base apparently has a bonus for using alcohol from substance abuse, but how exactly do you make it use it? I've tried putting alcohol on market and in storage, but nothing has changed. Does it need a brewery on the world?

Finish assigning your current pet to activate this!

I have no other pet. The last one died some months ago in a catastrophic battle.

Ive been getting the same problem.  I have tried changing the Core usage time in the main menu settings and I am still getting the bug.

Remove and rebuild the supercomputer - it's a problem caused by the update. Sorry!

So I tried experimenting with Corporate Goverment and it seems this type is only viable for planets which can have +30 Population growth without the Hazard Pay. On less habitable planets as soon as the market reaches its maximum size the Hazard Pay gets turned off and the growth can become negative, the market will shrink in a couple of days, then it becomes a swinging pendulum of growth to 6 with Hazard Pay and shrinking to 5.

Is it intended that even a friendly faction will have its artillery prevent surveying a planet? The completionist in me complains completely!

Corporate: I also moved away very rapidly!

That happened? Mine stopped any grow/degrow on size 6 even with Corpo.
