[Bug?] Drengin - Slave Camp?

from GalCiv3 Forums

I'm playing the Drengin for the 1st time and think I've found a bug, or at least something that seems really confusing to me.

On the "Planet Surface" screen I noticed that the auto-upgrade has some buildings, "Slave Camp" queued up in the Manufacturing Queue which are not listed as part of the Available Projects.  At first, I thought these were just typos and that these buildings are either "Work Camp" (MFG Cost 30) or "Slave Pit" (MFG Cost 101), but the manufacturing cost of these Slave Camps is 67, which doesn't align to either  of those.

Actually, as I'm typing this report, I'm noticing that many building names don't align.  For instance, my planet has some buildings named "Research Stockade" and "Forced Labor Camp", but those building names are not shown in the Available Projects area.  I'm not sure what to make of these buildings yet, are they typos or something else?  This is about my 6th game though, and I find it confusing to say the least.

Side note: If I had access to a spreadsheet view, I could probably figure this out on my own using deduction. Since I don't, it's really difficult to reconcile since the building values are level 2 on the main board, but the right side of the screen shows level 1 values.  Frustrating.

I'd insert a picture here for reference, but haven't posted a lot and can't figure out how to do it yet (its asking for an image URL).  I'll try to add a picture later if I can, but hopefully what I describe above is self-explanitory.

1. To post pictures, put the jpg/png in a hosting service (most of us use dropbox) get the external/public url for it, then click the little icon that looks like a picture of a tree and paste the url into the box that pops up.

2. A bug report will get attention more quickly if it's posted in the Support forum.  You can edit the original post, select Categories, and then select Support in the drop down list to move this post to the support forum.

One small point...if you use dropbox, when you get the link, you need to change the last character to one from zero.  This is so that when you post it it doesn't stay a link but downloads the picture.

Just saying because it confused me.

From the sound of it your issue is with the multiple stages of buildings 

currently you can only choose the location for the basic type of any building.

after its built you can upgrade that building to the next stage

the second stage only shows up as build-able ( in the project que ) if you have a completed  first stage building that is not queued up to upgrade to the second stage,

the default setting for    auto upgrade = 'on'.  so most of the time any basic stage building will automatically que up to upgrade as soon as its finished building the first stage or as soon as the tech becomes available
