Default Re: Known Bugs

Anyone posted this Upgrade bug yet?

Example:
Step 1. Create a construction queue with all Mineral Miner I's (5, 15, whatever, just more than 1). Seems to work with any facility, not just MM's.

Step 2. End turn. MM I built on planet. Put Upgrade to Mineral Miner III in queue. It will be entered normal cost and build time for upgrading 1 fac.

Step 3. Build at least 1 more MM I on planet (5 more, 10 more whatever - any number works - full queue even).

Step 4. Reorder queue so upgrade is first (or wait for all other MM I's to be built).

Step 5. Next turn ALL MM I facs will be upgraded to MM III's. Doesn't matter how many; all will be upgraded in 1 turn and at only the cost of upgrading 1.

I'm able to recreate this in all mods I've tried AIC, Proportions, "stock-plus". (It is VERY "effective" in proportions and should definitely be considered an exploit / cheat in a big way.) I have not tried this in a stock game (maybe someone else can) and I'm using SEIV Gold 1.84.

Can anyone second / confirm this?
