Case of the missing tiles

July 9, 2006 1:03:31 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I believe there is a bug relating to planet quality and the number of tiles available on a planet. In story form since I don't know what's significant:

Once upon a time, playing the current 1.2 version, I conquered an enemy planet via invasion. My civilization was aligned neutral, and the planet was a class 12 with no soil enhancement/terraforming performed on it. After conquering the planet, it increased to a class 16 but still has only 12 total tiles available for building. This seems to happen every time I conquer a planet, either by invasion or influence. Seems like the neutral ability to auto terraform tiles is broken during takeovers?

I have save games that exhibit the problem, let me know if anyone from stardock wants them.

Bump? This is a real bug, not a senseless complaint about a design decision like most of the other posts in this section...

Hmmm...I usually play as neutral and I don't think that I've noticed that bug.  Can you please send me a save game from before taking over the planet along with the description of the bug to carielf@stardock.com

I have the same problem.
The planet is display as class 40(!) but has only 25 tiles. This planet also had a random event that increased its pq by 50%. At least a pq bonus of 50% is shown in the planet details screen.
And all other planets that i invaded have less tiles then they should have.

It happens quite a bit, even not playing neutral, but by having terraformer.

I've seen things like this happen to me, too, from time to time, but not, alas, in any clearly repeatable way.

I have been picking neutral alingement and seeing this too. Wasn't sure what was going on.

I did just take over a class 11 palnet. After conquering it, It now lists as class 14 but only has 12 tiles. At least I got 1 tile this time.

I'm in the middle of a game playing as Neutral now. I haven't started conquering the galaxy yet, but I've culture flipped several planets - all of which have this problem. In fact, many of them have fewer tiles than their stated class level. The last planet I flipped was Class 12, but only had nine tiles available.

It's like the bonus is being inverted into a penalty. Instead of X tiles becoming available, X tiles are being subtracted from the number of available tiles.

I didn't put any points into the Planet Quality racial ability, so I don't know what the effect would be if I had. I've seen this in other games since v1.2 came out, as well.
