v1.78 bug?

[dumbluck]

Ah-HA!!!

This is definately a bug. I was able to recreate the error with a simple mod (I deleted MinMiners 1 and 2).

• Started game in testmod.
• hit End Turn 4 times.
• Saved game as test.gam.
  

Then I...

• restored to default data files.
• attempted to open test.gam with the modpicker.
• game spit out "Data Files don't Match" error, as well it should.
  

However...

• Started unmodded SE4.
• Chose Load Game from the main menu.
• Chose test.gam.
• test.gam ran "normally".
  

Test.gam ran, but it used the modded facility numbers applied to the default facility list.
In the modded game, I simply had Research Centers instead of MinMiners on my homeworld. In the "illegal" unmodded game, I had the following facilities (med tech start):

• 1 x MinStorage 1
• 1 x SY 3
• 1 x MinStorage 2
• 5 x MinMiner 3
• 1 x RadExtracter 3
• 1 x OrgFarm 3
• 5 x ResCenter 3
  

So this is definately a bug. Isn't it?
