Plague bug in Gold?
 

Situation. Homeworld affected by level 1 plague (random event). Manually loading cargo cannot happen (says planet is under quarenteen) but you can still hit the 'auto-colonize' button to direct a colony ship to go somewhere and set up a colony. The new colony is NOT affected by the plague.

Is this a bug (IMO if you can't load pop one way you should not have a way around it).

interesting. sounds like a bug.

please clarify:

the new colony does have population on it (eg, the pop cargo was successfully loaded)

are you using the 'colonize' order for a ship, or are you useing the 'colonize' button in the PLANETS screen? either way, the game should enter orders for the ship that look like 'load cargo'; 'go to location'; 'colonize'. these should be the same orders you would enter manually.

is this a simultanious turn bug, or a turn-based bug?

Yep, pop was successfully loaded. New colony is not plague affected (happy status)

Colonize order button for the ship, not in the planets screen. Manually loading (two arrows, up/down) does not work.

Turn based bug.
