Build time bug still in?

Or is it just me?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Is anybody else getting the bug where, you pick a structure to build, the build time shows as "never", you build it, and the build time on the list on the right shows like 50 weeks, but if you click it, it shows up in the center window as the real build time, which is usually a lot less, like 8 weeks or whatever. Or if you exit the planet screen and then return to it, the build time on the right is correct.

Is this just me? Or is this bug still with us in 1.1?

I remember seeing this, but since it worked out just fine I didn't bother worrying about it. With the extensive list of things they did tweak, maybe this is one they felt just didn't deserve the time.

Yeah it's there but doesn't affect anything. I think it's just a display glitch based on how social production is transfered to military production. Technically if you hadn't been building anything in terms of planetary improvements on the planet then there was zero production when the screen was built for display thus the *Never* showing up. If you add a second item it must recompute the available SP which causes it to show the correct values.

Bug yes. Big deal no.

The only thing that bothers me about this glitch (glitch=less than bug) is the lack of acknowledgement by the devs.

If someone from stardock would just say yes it is there and it may or may not be fixed, that would satisfy me and I would proceed to get a life and forget it.

If you are that far in debt, the numbers don't adjust after going back in...everything stays never (research, ship building, social building, etc) until you are out of debt ( or at least less than 500bc in debt).
