Multi-year Base upgradation when existing base dies in between.
What happens to the resources of the incomplete base?

I'm sorry I'm being a bit lazy, but 6 searches didn't find it on SAH.. I'm sure I'm missing out a simple enough search term.

Anyways:

Option A
All the resources in the incomplete base construction go down to 0.

Option B
It stays partially completed, so if you have a full base and build another one (similar to this one) to 99% and the original base dies in a battle, the incomplete base has 1 resource to complete.



I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.

To redo the question.

Year 1 (year 2430), I have SB on planet.

Year 2, (2431) I add a SB to queue that cost 2000 resources more then the old SB, two years to complete.

Year 3, (2432) New SB is 50% complete during production and in the battle the old SB is destroyed. Since Production happens before battle.

The Question: What is in the production Queue? Nothing or a 50% completed SB.

I don't know, I'll have to testbed it sometime.

Option B it is.

It is a known exploit.

Needs testing because from memory I'd say the opposite: all res lost.

I learnt the answer to this when fighting Nmid in Tenderfoot. You have to start again IIRC.

Strange? I've read a lot of threads stating exactly the opposite...

Just ran a testbed in a few different configurations. A 99% complete base goes down to 0% complete.

This is what I remembered too. I think there might be a number of different parameters involved and just having a 99% complete base is not enough.

Very Happy.
Exactly. I remember you being quite upset.
However a number of people have told me that option B occurs as well.

I assume that with a very minor change in the components, the base resources survives, but if it's a complete upgrade then it goes down to 0.
It has to be some such convoluted explanation as both events have been noticed by various players..
(Now to find a testbed where both options happen Smile A test-bed where I can replicate option B would clear how it's triggered, I'm sure).

I guess what you are having in mind is the Cheap Starbase bug/cheat, see:
* http://starsautohost.org/sahforum/index.php?t=msg&th=238 7&start=0&rid=775

But that's something completly different and not related to what nmid mentioned in his first post.

That would make sense.

Thanks for the info.
