Base Space Yard bug??

Have you taken over the AI player to see if it gets the benfit from having two space uards, ie double production?

Yep, I've seen this myself. You can either remove the requirement for repair ability OR... you can change the order of the components in the text file. If you put repair bays ahead of space yards in components.txt I think it will add only one space yard and then add repair bays if there is extra space.

Deathstalker-

Try removing Space Yard from the Majority component, and use the Majority component for something else, a space Yard will still be placed on the station as it is covered by the 'Must Have' line.

By the order that the components were placed it looks like the problem I found where components listed as 'Must Have' are not included when placing components later, and since the size was large enough, it tried to place a second ship yard when it reached the Majority component.

Thanx for the help guys, though I am not totally annoyed at this bug, anything to help out the AI!(but it probally just doubles repair rate, I doubt it actually helps with build rate).

Will do with the 'must haves', fun line to play with.(playing around with ship designs that have 'component repair' as a must have right now, just think ships that repair themselves!).

Yes it DOES help with the build rate. AIs that do this get double-rate space yard bases.

It also helps the build rate. I was thinking of having the AI build with 3+ yards to give it a boost. Unfortunately it would probably build WP or fighters it can't store
