Planet Creator Bug |
I noticed a bug with planet creator ships in the stock 1.20. I was merrily making new planets from asteriod fields when once it failed. I had one movement point left and decided to create the planet. It moved into the asteriod hex but since it had zero MP left it halted at making the planet. After running the turn I found my planet creator ship but no planet and no asteriod field. I went back to my saved game and cleared the planet creation order and then reran the turn. The next turn I had my planet creator ship and an asteriod field and then I made the planet without a problem.
Somehow if you order a planet creator ship to create a planet but it has zero MP left to do the planet creation while you watch it fails to do so. I've tried the same routine with warp point creator ships and they do create the warp point during turn resolution. Something is wrong with the planet creator component that isn't wrong with the warp point creator one that doesn't allow proper planet creation on the fly.
