Neutrality Learning Centers?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Would someone explain how to build a Neutrality Learning Center? I'm currently in the middle of a game and researched Xeno Ethics, choosing the Neutral option. My next step was to research the Neutrality Learning Centers which are supposed to be an excellent research building. But I can find no option on my planet screens for building this improvement; neither upgrading existing research centers nor building a new improvement lists it as an option.

What am I doing wrong here?

Looks like in patch X they're still not working.

Do you mean that this is a known bug and I should stop searching around for a way to build them?

Has anyone actually checked that the Neutrality Learning Center isn't just an add on ( in otherwords you just get like a 25% bonus to your current research ability that equates to more research being done in your labs than was previous), like the defensive systems you get for being good.... for that matter... do the defensive systems actually work, as I have never been asked to place them on a hull. I had assumed until now that they factored into the combat system sight unseen by me by modifying the game roll that the AI does for combat.

As I do not play evil very much I have no idea if the weapons evil folks get actually have to be put on the ships.

Other inputs appreciated here on this one.

As far as I can tell by loading a game from before I researched the Neutrality Learning tech and then looking at a game from afterwards, there was no bonus of any sort. It looks like a dead tech to me unless I'm missing something. I'm giving up trying to build the centers, I can't figure it out.

I also can't build them

They work for me, I've built them. If you're really stuck, put them in the code yourself. I'll look in my xml files and see if I can paste you the code needed

You'll notice in the sub-text for the tech there is absolutely nothing listed in where it would normally show new things or bonuses made available

Yes, I have just noticed that myself: No new bonuses, now new improvements, no new anything listed in the sub-text.

Neutrality Learning Centers were (accidentally?) left out of the game. Hopefully they'll appear in the next patch.

it is probably left out because the Devs haven't found a way to balance it

But it appears that they don't exist. How did you build one? Do you have a savegame file?
