[0.980][bug] Apothecary broken

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q1k6b4f6eial1w5/jinO1-Oa3H
from Elemental Forums

In the saved game, check out the mana production for the settlement Resoln's Might.  The settlement detail screen shows two figures: the displayed total mana output reads 1, but the tooltip shows 3 (from the apothecary).  Empire-wide mana income also reflects only 1 mana (the other three are from Hagudst).

Don't know if it matters that Resoln's Might was recently conquered (used to be Magnar's Imperium).

@Gaunathor - After reading your post, I do remember early game Magnar had meditation on this city as well.

Using Meditation is currently the only way to get the proper amount of Mana from those buildings. Without it, you don't get anything for the base amount of Essence.

I'm noticing this bug as well.  I shudder to think how much mana I've lost because of it :(

edit: Ha, i just talked to one of our devleopers about this and she said she noticed this problem a few days ago and fixed it, no wonder i cant repro it.  So it will be fixed in the patch.

Nice that they talk to you Derek about bug fixes... :)

Ha, I'll take bug fixes however they happen.  But yes she was working on something related and fixed it when she saw the logic was incorrect.  That's the sign of an amazing developer.  And in further defense of her I'm sure she detailed the change in her changelog email and I may not have read it as closely as I should have. :)

Sounds to me like you guys and gals have a pretty cool company culture.

We have a great company culture.

Yesterday we had a chili cookoff, and there are some great cook's here at Stardock (Tater Chorizo Chili was awesome!).  But the best part is just hanging out with Brad and the other Stardockians.  

The latest interaction on our shared channel:

[2:00:49 PM] Brad: Are all your tax changes in, Derek?
[2:00:52 PM] Brad: Was going to playtest.
[2:01:55 PM] Paul: They made it so only your taxes are higher now ;)
[2:02:36 PM] Brad: Obama would approve

Discussion of the fix for the "mooning bandit" problem (clipping error when a bandit bends over)

[9/20/2012 5:53:57 PM] Derek: nah, dont want to change the mooning bandit yet
[9/20/2012 4:54:06 PM] James: hehe
[9/20/2012 4:54:13 PM] Derek: dont know what that may uncover
[9/20/2012 4:54:36 PM] Derek: keep him under wraps for now
[9/20/2012 4:54:55 PM] Sarah: don't want to be caught with our pants down when this next build goes up
