[BUG] AI not building up its planets.

TheFunMachine-Today at 2:13 PM

Does 'trading with someone else' promp in the diplo menu mean you have to wait a few turns?

strange, I saved, and reloaded the game. I could speak to them then.

also @Horem I just invaded Yor homeworld on turn 139 and all they built was a planetary extracotr and a mainframe

Another one  What is going on?

OK, I switched into god mode. Other empires appear to be bui;domg out their planets, HOWEVER -- they're still queing up assist reasearch projects when there are better thingsto do, as well as queing multiples of the research project.

Long story short: Yor don't build their planest. This is the second game in a row with different difficulty settings where I have seen this.

@TheFunMachine Hmm, the 3 games I have started the AI are doing fine building thier planets, but. 1. I dont have any synthetic races. 2. I nerfed the Aid projects by 3/4 in both cost and reward.

Actually lookign at it is more like 7/8

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:07 PM

Could be a synthetic thing. When spying in God mode, the others were building mostly* fine. There are still issues where the AI starts 'assist research' when they could be building productive buildings

Horem-Today at 3:07 PM

^^ thats why the nerf

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:08 PM

@Horem Could you do me a solid an try a quick soak with some syths?

Horem-Today at 3:08 PM

I figured if i cant stop them i can atleast mitigate some of the damage it does.

um

I'll have to make soem but sure

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:09 PM

Yor didn't come with your copy 

Horem-Today at 3:09 PM

....Deleted...

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:10 PM

No stressm though. I'm just really curious if you can repeat this behaviour

... Or if I'm just going nuts

Horem-Today at 3:15 PM

soaking

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:18 PM

Cool beans

Horem-Today at 3:19 PM

50 turns in initalt observation, sythetics are not building planets 

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:21 PM

Boom! @Horem Thank you

Horem-Today at 3:22 PM

80 turns, same issue, rest of AI doing fine at it, although they are a bit slow on thier homeworlds compared to other planets.

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:23 PM

@Horem , yeah, that is something else I noticed.

Horem-Today at 3:23 PM

bare in mind though, since my aid projects only take 1-4 turns, thats speeding them along.

if it was at default, they would be um behind still.

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:23 PM

I highly suspect the research prject. When in God, I caught the AI que clogged with one that would take of 25 turns

Horem-Today at 3:23 PM

I see it que them and take 40 odd turns, and it qued 3.

hense my nerf from 200 production to 17.

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:24 PM

Cringe

Worth reporting.

Horem-Today at 3:24 PM

they are spreadign liek locusts though, the synths, compared to the others.

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:25 PM

This bugs my OCD. The AI govs otherwise do a decent job building planets

@Horem Could it also be the AI building pops?

Horem-Today at 3:25 PM

yup, 100 turns and synth planets have not built up past initial 3 improvements.

pop and aid research, all they doing.

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:26 PM

Hmmm.

My hooman winsdom has me thinking that it is folly to neglect planet imprvements

They can't be getting more benefit soley from building pops could they?

Horem-Today at 3:27 PM

with the square root factor, i doubt it.(edited)

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:27 PM

That what I would think

Horem-Today at 3:28 PM

they even neglect trade resources.

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:28 PM

I knoooooow

lazy buggers

Horem-Today at 3:28 PM

110 turns in.

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:29 PM

Least they got the precursor wonder up, lol

Horem-Today at 3:31 PM

the other AI's, carbon/aquatics, still nto doing great with it tbh

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:31 PM

Because assist research?

Horem-Today at 3:32 PM

much better than synths, but still about 75% worse than a human would have done. Both Aid projects.

soem do research other enconomy, soem mixed ect.

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:32 PM

Yeah, aiid projects are gumming up the AI build ques

Horem-Today at 3:33 PM

not so much gumming, more liek the AI favors them over anything else.

I even tried adding a Weight of 0 to them and a Weight of 50 for everything else. seems the weights are ignored.

This does explain why the AI seems easier with crusade though tbh. I tried a vanilla game yesterday and atleast the AI built its planets up.

Ai planet

that how they should all be lol

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:36 PM

yup

Horem-Today at 3:36 PM

thats actually a real smart layout.

TheFunMachine-Today at 3:37 PM

That's what is annoying. The AI actually pretty good at it now, when it is not being held back by the aid-weight

Horem-Today at 3:37 PM

then you get this off the same AI 

Obeservation, In my 120 turn soak. The AI buildign the best planets are either scientific, peacefull or traders. The ones doing the worest are synths and warlike races.
