That is definitely NOT a bug, its what you put in the build queue, and it is not the game's job to second guess you.

Having resources evaporate against a facility that cannot complete is a bug, and I fully support fixing that.

Well..... You have convinced me, at least, that the game's bugs aren't as annoying as the folks playing the game. I'm into turn 80 or so of my current game. After listening to all you Malfador brown-nosers, the game's UI seems downright clean.

That was just uncalled for Raynor. Just because we did not agree with you about repeat building a few extra spaceports being a bug does not mean we are "Malfador brown-nosers".

Just curious: at what point of the discussion research center turned into spaceport ?

Multiple spaceports being built is what he was originally complaining about in the first thread.

No. Actually, I was complaining because the game didn't turn off 'Repeat Build' when I cleared the queue. I had been repeat building units, cleared the queue and then added multiple facilities to the build queue. After 'x' turns, I ended up with three spaceports.

SJ's comment about the game needing to second guess what I'm adding to the queue is nonsensical. I was complaining about the 'Repeat Build' being left on.

Yes, and that is exactly what I said. You were complaining about extra Spaceports being built.

You want the game to second-guess your orders to Repeat Build the top item in the list. The game should probably not be second-guessing poor decisions. Build queues set to Repeat Build are very clearly marked as such, and it is the user's fault entirely if he builds extra things that he did not want to build.

I read the first post, read it again and shake my head. IF conviction should be cited as a good example how Orwelian "Ministry of Truth" can operate
