Wow, so he's already implemented basic build requirements support?

If by "already" you mean "took almost a year of nagging," then yes. Pointing him to your thread may have finally let the request achieve critical mass.

[Raapys]

Oh well, better late than never I suppose. I do miss a
get_empire_specific_facility/ability_count function though.

Anyway, do you know if this works for ships too? That is, is the "Requirements Evaluation Allows Placement" field checked when you add a ship/unit to the build queue?

[Fyron]

I am not aware of any requirement function called when ships are added to a build queue, just stuff used at design time. I'm not really sure where such a requirement could be clearly and cleanly specified; putting it in the requirements list for the vehicle would be very confusing with the already existing design requirements.

[Raapys]

Yeah but that's only checked in the design screen, isn't it?

[Fyron]

What's only checked in the design screen? Did you see the post in the 30 seconds it was up before I edited it?

[Raapys]

Ah yeah, guess I did. You're right though, it would probably be rather confusing to use it in the existing requirement field for ships and units. Perhaps he can be persuaded at a later time to add an additional field, but I suppose that would take a bit more work to implement.

[Pocus]

I see that the pop minister is still not functionnal though. Will it ever get fixed? Does it is not a basic feature, which is also needed by the AI?
