ideology on pragmatic getting 2 for 1 builds with new constructor didnt work

from GalCiv3 Forums

after getting to the end on a pragmatic ideology line I opted for the 2 for 1 constructors. however it didn't give me my second point. will watch and see if it changes. also noticed that my 1st constructor lets me build the starbase the type and 2 extras. I think I should get only one extra but I could be wrong. something to look into anyways...

The couple of times I have used pragmatic I definitely got the 2/1 boost, but that was on 5.3.

It certainly does not work right away in beta 6.  Haven't reached that far with 5.3, so I don't know.

 

If you have a constructor in hand, send it to a starbase, you get the exact same number of construction points as before.

If you build a new constructor of the same model you had, you get the exact same number of construction points as before.

 

Once you get new techs and a new constructor model... than I think it works.  Or it's just that maybe (most likely) I wasn't paying enough attention to that, I was busy trying to replicate crashes.  In any case, this require more testing.

   I saw this, it seems to work with new builds you queue up, not current constructors or builds.

I sometimes get 4 pts per constructor after researching this, actually.  But I haven't been able to figure out why or how.

Is anyone here playing as Terrans?  I noticed a minor oddity when I recieved the -50% Starbase Decay pragmatic trait, I instead was getting some bonus modules to startbases (which is supposed to be the next trait).  Might be something going on there.  Haven't fully unlocked that line on the table yet (ideology is very expensive right now ;)) so I don't know what happens the further I go along it.

As for 2/1, yes it is suppsosed to be on all new constructors that get built after the trait is unlocked without changing the ones previously.  That's how it's been for a very long time at any rate.

No, I have never noticed that.  I might have missed it though.

Once i unlocked the trait for 2:1 i was getting closer to 4 pts. I also found that I could build a Xeno lab AND a mining rig AND give myself starbase defense with an extra point to go towards one of the upgrades to any of them at the same time and I don't think i was able to before (didn't notice anyways)... not that i'm complaining. being able to build mining, xeno AND give starbase defense all in one go pretty much saved me from pirate attacks.. those dudes troll around in fleets of 5 right away... really annoying...
