Retrofit Bug During PBW Games

[Grandpa Kim]

From Geoschmo:

The only drawback being the need to have a free space yard slot.

Maybe not. I think you just need to place it in a queue. You can have 20 research centres in front of it. Once it's there for a turn, it's "initialized" and can be safely pulled.

Oh, and I will look for an example of the disappearing unmothball order.

Actually, the only drawback is..... not Editing Your Design.

I imagine that pulling the design out of a build que to edit it could cause problems for prior retrofit orders.

I had the same problem with unmothballing in Paranoia. I finally decided I really didn't want the ships anyway and scrapped them. I just figured it was user error, although I tried for nearly a game year to get it to work. It was probably ~25 turns ago, though, so I can't reproduce it.

I've experiance Both of these problems. The retrofitting problem fixes itself the next turn as explained below. But I've had the unmothballing thing very rarely, it's happened enough that I try to avoid mothballing sometimes.

This isn't a problem for me. The thing I like about this particular workaround is that it can be used for a newly created design and you don't have to edit it. Once you retrofit a ship to a particular design you can't edit it anymore anyway.

I read about that work around on this forum.
Maybe SJ or some else posted it.
