pop movement bug? |
I have noticed a problem when moving alien population around in SE4. I had
some rioting, and added some troops to fix the situation, but it
wasn't quite enough. So I decided to try to remove some of the alien
population and replace it with human. Then I took the alien pop and
moved it to a large world, where they would be in the minority. I
never had a chance to see if this would work, becasue when I checked
my construction queue, looked at planet facilities, I saw that the two
planets that had the population altered were now 'smaller planets'.
My 15 facility planet dropped to 5, my 25 dropped to 15. So I had crazy fractions like 11/5, saying I had 11 facilites (which I did) on 5-facility planet. Needless to say I certainly couldn't build any more on those planets.
Is this a known bug? I installed the patch 195C, but this did not correct
the problem. I tried to revert to an earlier save, then tried the pop
swap again with the same crazy results. So the patch did not seem to
fix it. I do confess I have been playing about 90 turns on the
unpatched 1.95
Has anyone else seen this problem or know how to fix, or is this type of pop swap illegal?
Re: pop movement bug?
Yes, the planet will be undomed if the non-breathing population is removed and the full space restored.
You can fit as many troops/fighters/weapon platforms as the cargo space of the planet will allow. The cargo space of a planet will depend on the planet's size and if its domed or undomed. A cargo facility will add to the available cargo space if you're running short.
Re: pop movement bug?
It's not exactly a bug. A mix of breathing and non-breathing populations will result in a planet being domed. 20-30 Troops should be more than enough to qualm any rioting population.
