Upgrade to Temporal Space Yard?

Greybeard · #1 February 12th, 2003, 03:36 PM

I recently researched temporal technology to obtain the temporal space yard. However, when I try to upgrade, nothing happens. Do I need to scrap my existing Space Yard 1's and then construct the new temporal yards?

It may be that I need Space Yard 3 before I can upgrade to Temporal. However, it seems it would be better to scrap the yard and rebuild to avoid the research costs, time, etc. Am I right?

You cannot upgrade fmom a standard yard to a temporal yard. They are different families. Even if you had SY3 you would have to scrap it to build a temporal yard.

This can of course be fixed by modding- just put them into the same family.

Geo: Thanks for the quick response. I'll start changing them over a few at a time....Greybeard

Beat me to it.

(I don't play temporal, but figured it would be a good idea to put those SY types in the same family so races which did use temporal could upgrade and/or start with that tech could use them.)

Or if you were that way inclined, you could probably use a variation on S_J's patented many-per-planet-upgradable-spaceyard thingies, so that you still have to scrap the old spaceyard to build the temporal one, but you can use the old spaceyard's construction rate to do the job.
