New bug: if base is abandoned, next base loses production.

[vyeh]

In my current game, I eliminate captured bases by producing colony pods until the base disappears (it avoids an atrocity hit).

When the size 1 base is ready to produce a colony pod, I get the abandoned base message, I confirmed.

I've noticed that the next base (in the F4 screen order) does not have any production (no minerals are added to the current item in the build queue).

I don't recall seeing this bug in any list, so I thought I'd contribute it to this forum.

One thing is what is shown in F4 - another thing is what happens next turn. I have noticed that I can't trust F4 when building prototypes - says 0/xxx despite the unit is developing normally in base view.

Just out of curiosity - why are you getting rid of captured bases ?

[vyeh]

I think the 0/xxx only occurs when the previous base is stockpiling energy.

Several reasons:

1) The captured base gets in the way of my borehole placements.
2) A captured base has drone problems for 50 years after capture. If the captured base becomes a colony pod (its independent if the base is size 1) and the colony pod builds a base, that base is not a captured base.
3) I have PTS, so by abandoning a size 1 base, I effectively go from size 1 to size 3 when I build a new base with the resulting colony pod.
