Station Garrison still broke?

Why does Station Garrison from the planet build list still keep auto-producing until you manually cancel it? Having a planetary project that uses up valuable resources (like your supply of legions) as an auto-build is really damn annoying. It should be a "one and done" project that you have to select again for each legion you want to station as a garrison.

I know I brought this up at least 6 months ago. I was really hoping this would be fixed by now.

Kind of like I was hoping carriers would have been fixed by now...

I modded Station Garrison so that it doesn't use up legions anymore

For me that's more like a milita force since you cannot move garrisons away from a planet, so I see no compelling reason to use legions for that, and solving the above mentioned problem is a nice side effect.

lyssailcor - Can you post that code?

Thanks

I am also interested in your solution. I could integrate it in my mod.

Just removed the "LegionsAvailable" EffectType which is the cost despite the name.

Dumb question

If you change the following line
<ImprovementType>DurationalProject</ImprovementType>
to
<ImprovementType>Military</ImprovementType>

Would is still cost a legion but only work once?

It would only cost a legion once, but it would be a building then that you would have to place on a tile (although you may also have to change the PlacementType to e. g. Military or MilitaryHub or so and specify LevelEffectStats) .
