AI Facility Construction Follies....

I wonder. Does the AI know how to scrap facilities at all?

Yep before the second patch I raised this topic about not rebuilding. It would be nice if this would get fixed so the AI would stand a better chance.

I was under impression that this has been fixed. In my first 1.27 game I ran into Xiati, and when I reached their home system, they had a planet with Events Predictor facility. I seriously doubt that they managed to research it before they colonized that planet and filled it with facilities (it could hold only 4 facilities and it was in their home system).

Currently, I'm sure that the AI scrap some facilities (for example, the Atmosphere Converter after convert a planet).

But also, I'm sure that the AI do not scrap facilities to optimize their production.
For example, if the AI have a planet with 20 Mineral Extraction facilities, after research the System and Planets Robotoids, never scrap some Mineral Extraction Facilities to make room.

couldn't you just tweak the AI to at least upgrade out dated facilities, this could include or add line to build space yard on say a 5, 10, etc size planet. therefore if it loses a space yard on that planet it in turn would re-build it?? just some ideas

AI already does that Mac. It will upgrade all existing facilities it has on the planet when he reaches appropriate technology.

Ah, okay. Maybe it's because the situation is so bad for the Toltayans that it's not bothering to do that, or I'm not waiting long enough.

So do the Sergetti scrap facilities to make room for the atmosphere converters?
