Thanks Oleg. Of course a work-around would be to go and add intermediate steps... humpf.

As for Basic Life Support, it saves a lot of cost but is less efficient in size and breaks as soon as it gets hit. So you can decide for each design whether it is worth the expense to gain a little space for other components, and to have a more durable ship.

Thanks. I wasn't paying attention to the cost at the time.

Just a minor issue: 2.4 Ukra-Tal uses Pequeninos AI. Pequeninos are Rock but Ukra-Tal are Ice. To make Ukra-Tal research Rock planet colonization, a minor tweak to UkraTal_Ai_research.txt is needed. Here it is:

Don't know if this is a Proportions bug or a 1.78 bug, but I thought I'd poost it here rather than open a new thread:

In a solo proportions 2.4.2 game under 1.78, I got a level 1 plague event on one of my colonies. I went to look at it, and it looked fine. Population happy and increasing. "Oh well, maybe it will kick in next turn or something." I started researching biology and hit "next turn."

It's now 10 or 20 turns later and that colony (and all my other colonies) are plague free, happy and increasing in population.

It's not a bug. See THIS thread.

Hmm, but that thread describes how you get a plague notification when colonies that are not yours suffer a plague. Dogscoff says the message was about one of his own colonies.

So, I'm not sure what would cause that. I know I've caught plagues in other games, though I think the Last time I saw one was more like Proportions 2.2 + SE4 1.67.

Does the planet say "plagued"?
