Possible Bug?
Construction of a Combat Control Computer on this type of planet requires the following: 800,000 Colonists to support the construction, 247 units of Fuel Ore, 149 units of Organics, 130 units of Equipment and 0 days to construct.
Do you wish to construct a Combat Control Computer? Yes Thanks to the miracles of modern technology, your Quasar Cannon will be completed in 0 days!
I was doing some testing and I built a L2 Combat Control Computer, but I noticed this message "Quasar Cannon will be completed in 0 days!"
EDIT: Looks like the message is just wrong, I have gotten it twice in my testing.... Anyone else seen this?

Re: Possible Bug?
I've seen it on different edits, and not just on 0 day upgrades... The messages seem to be 1 ahead of the actual upgrade though... Different levels of upgrade (1-2, 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5 have all shown it)... I always figured it was something the sysop had to set up, maybe not... Also, those edits that I have seen it in are NOT from the new beta...

Re: Possible Bug?
It has always been there since I have been scripting and paying attention to these messages.
I wouldn't call it a bug as it does not change gameplay in anyway. Just cannot use the message in an upgrade script. I have not written my own upgrade script and use a modified pack 2 script which doesn't use that message as a trigger.I am not sure JP is aware of it or not.Or if he intends to fix it.

Re: Possible Bug?
What's the bug here, the fact that it says "Quasar Cannon" when you're upgrading to Combat Computer, or the fact that it says "0 days"? Does it show the correct upgrade requirement data? Does the actual upgrade take place as expected?
Is this easy to reproduce?

Re: Possible Bug?
Everything works as expected. Message is wrong. And always has been as far as I can remember.
It is the one line message you receive right after upgrading a cit.

Re: Possible Bug?
If that's all it is, that's an easy fix. I have no idea why it happens, but it's easy to fix.
