Loss of production overflow when building military subsidies

from GalCiv3 Forums

I find Galactic Civ 3 is generally pretty good at keeping track of production overflow. However, I've noticed that when I choose military subsidies in the social manufacturing queue, then the existing accrued production overflow isn't sent to the shipyard, it is simply lost. This can result in the loss of a large amount of production as I tend to play with social manufacturing set to 100% and rely on military subsidies to build ships. I am playing the opt in 1.7 update.

 

Can anyone else confirm this bug?

Yep, it's been around for a while.

I am not sure it is considered a bug.  It applies to the other projects as well.

Other projects will swallow the overflow resources, but they will also provide benefits.  Military project does not, that's the bug.

I honestly haven't checked myself, and will gladly take your word for it.  Then again, I'm not the one you need to convince to fix it, so what good does that do for you?  :)

I recorded a video concerning this when doing a GC3 LP months ago never got round to posting it on here

Great video, shows how much production can potentially be deleted, which is a pretty serious bug. As a result of the bug, I avoid using military manufacturing altogether, which adds greatly to the amount of micromanagement I need to do. I think the best solution is to make it so that production overflow is not deleted when military subsidies is used.
