No energy from radiation: "You have recieved enough"

I reported this already twice using the bug-button, but after hearing other players talk about it as well, I thought I open an official thread to collect people who experience the same problem.

I cannot seem to get any energy from others, although the day just started and I cannot have reached any "limit" yet. Meditation for myself works fine (!). Radiating out works fine. But when people radiate around me, I get the following message:

"You feel calmness radiating from [player]. +10 mood. You would have gained energy, but you have received enough for the day."

I experienced this already on October 14th. It lasted for 2 game days and suddenly went away. I was in Ajaya Bliss at that time, where people radiate a lot, and on the 3rd day, I recieved tons and tons of radiation energy without any "limit" kicking in. At least two other people have confirmed the same symptoms.

I encourage anybody to report here if you have this too. Maybe together we can find out what causes this.

(Speaking of it already anyway, I actually would like to know if there IS a limit on recieving radiation.)

  • Were you already at max energy?

  • No, I wasn't. I was in Ajayas Bliss, mining, using lots of energy. People do radiate a lot there to help everybody else. On normal days, I don't even have to check my energy because it will always keep some kind of balance. I realized that something was wrong when my energy suddenly went Red. I checked the messages, and realized that I had gotten this "... you have recieved... etc." message every time somebody radiated next to me.

  • My girlfriend was having that issue in Ajaya Bliss last night, but with mood. She could gain energy from players radiating, but not mood. It told her that she had "received enough". She wasn't at max mood either.

  • This is happening to me, consistently for the last few days, in Neva Neva. Even immediately upon logging in for the first time in a game day, I can't get energy from anyone's radiate. Never had it happen with mood - only energy. Frustrating!

  • I'm having that problem with energy from radiation too.  I got a little and then seemed to hit a very low cap. I was NOT capped for energy received from mediation for the day and I was NOT at full energy.

    This change was not mentioned in the change logs and it's really a problem because it discourages radiation and collaborative play.  Once I cap energy received from radiation, I have to meditate and stop radiating for other players' benefit.

  • I don't think there's a real cap implemented, Lucille.

    I still think it is some kind of malfunction. When I reported it via the bug button, the reply from the staff did not indicate that this was something that's meant to be like that.

  • I too noticed this the first time the other day when I was in AB. I wasn't aware of an energy limit one could receive through trans. radiation! It's happened every time I've been in there since. The only way I gain energy in there now is if I focus meditate and eat. My mood is unaffected by the bug. If it's not meant to be this way, I sure hope it's fixed soon!

  • I had it again today, but this time after a few hours of mining and radiation.

    So my question is: Is there indeed a limit for recieving radiation? I just wonder if I should report all of those incidents, or only those when I suddenly hit the "limit" straight after a new day.

    Unfortunately, if there really is a limit, there's no counter. The meditation clock does not count energy that you recieve from radiation.

  • I've had this happen before during street projects. At first I thought as Louis did that I had hit a limit for benevolent energy but I had literally just started playing that day and it was still happening. Didn't even occur to me that it might be a bug.

  • Submitted a bug report. Got a response "We're looking into the issue. Thank you for bringing this to our attention." .

  • We're looking into the issue. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    No, really though, we are, and I've added notes from this thread to the bug report. Thanks guys!
