why so buggy?

from GalCiv2 Forums
i updated the game to 1.5.072 or whatever and started a new game. early on, i queued some factory upgrades from basic to regular and when the first one completed they all did at the same time. later in the game this stopped happening. difficulty was obscene, i don't know, maybe the game was giving me a handicap or is this a bug?

Sure they all upgraded at the *exact* same time? Particularly if you're playing Thalans (or Custom+Super Hive), they may have just built that quickly naturally.

well, i think the factory on the bottom of the queue said some where around 12-16 weeks to finish and the next turn they were all done. it happened with basic labs -> xeno labs too. also i just had another bug on the older 1.5 with the power plants disappearing from a planet's build list after cancelling it. i was upgrading a Manufacturing Center on a 300% tile bonus to an Antimatter Power Plant, i don't even know if that works with a percent based structure so i cancelled it, seems too powerful if it does. i'm new the game and really like it but these bugs are annoying.

oh this is lala`

You don't want to upgrade to a Power Plant on a 300% tile bonus square. A power plant does not generate any manufaturing points on it's own. It just enhances the production of factories.

The description is misleading because it says it will boost ANY manufacturing structure. There are only percent based cultural and approval buildings, right? So I'm guessing the tile bonuses for those work correctly. Which is why I thought it would work for a power plant.

That bonus tile will boost any manufacturing structure, but a power plant isn't a manufacturing structure. It's functionally a planet square morpher. It has the same effect as changing all squares by adding +X% manufacturing.
