Default Re: scrapping facilites in pbw games

I decided to verify this problem in "Another Sweet Game" during my Last turn. I scrapped some facilities Last night. Imagine my surprise when the value of the facilities immediately was added to my stored amount. Since the facilities were atmosphere modification plants, I got 4500 of each resource for each one scrapped.

Perhaps the bug is just related to specific mods...

It is how it is supposed to work (you get the resources at once). I believe the bug is that these resources disappear; at least, that was the impression I got from reading Geo's Posts.

I couldn't say whether it works or not, since I only used massive scrapping once. And given my problems with algebra, I wouldn't know if I had too many "Lack of resources" Messages or not (all I know is how that hurts).

That is correct Greybeard, you will see the resources added to your stored ammount immedietly. But what you won't see unless youa re paying attention and do the math is that once the turn processes those resources will be subtracted back out of your total stored amount. That's the bug. The resources added to your total on the client end are not making it through the host turn processing. That's also why scrapping facilities by abandoning the planet works. because there the scrapping is happening during the host processing, all you are doing on the client end is queueing an order to scrap.
