You can even use this to add the upgrade order to the new queue before the facilities are even built (assuming you already have a Fill Queue). Additionally, you can use this method to upgrade only X facilities at a time, and leave all others unupgraded. Very handy to get some upgraded before the others when you have say 10 facilities to upgrade, to start getting extra points sooner... No need to upgrade all 12 cities at once.
Egad - you people are tricky!

Unfortunately, these loopholes somewhat undermine certain aspects of the design aimed at less tricky players. I'm glad there is _a_ way to upgrade one facility at a time, but it is an unfortunately complex way to have to do it.
I guess once you know how to use the Fill Queue feature, and if you manage to set them up at the right time, then you have an easy enough way to do it. Geez.

Ok. I guess I should ask though: Is there a way to fake out the system so you don't even have to build the facility you are upgrading from? I know the AI (used to?) be able to upgrade facilities while they were being built. Can a sneaky player do that too, essentially halving the cost of practically any facility that can be upgraded to?
