Summary0020691: Starship factory produces multiple ships at once
DescriptionIt appears that when a starship dies, a factory will start building a replacement even if it is currently building another starship at that time.

This can lead to metal starvation, as that factory is now consuming 3x the metal, and each engineer is providing 3x the metal in help.

Okay. Can you send a saved game if you see this happen again?

For some reason, I can't upload files to this site. The file shows in the upload area, and gets an upload bar that never fills.

But I can reproduce the glitch reliably now, though it seems I was mistaken in thinking it was taking multiple of metal. To reproduce this glitch you must have 2 things:

1. The ship that gets destroyed must have a ship cap of only 1
2. The ship that gets destroyed must have a "sorting index" less than the other ships In construction (appear to the top left of others in docks panel)

So to reproduce this, you can open up any save where you have no starship upgrades, build a Plasma and Assault starship, and then scrap them in the order Plasma -> Assault. You will see that the dock will start to construct the plasma part way, then switch to constructing the assault starship. This seems extendable to include all starships as long as they have a cap of 1, so you can create the glitch with something like Warbird -> Carrier -> Plasma -> Shield -> Assault, or in whatever descending index is between these ships.

Starship Constructors are being removed next update. There's a new system for this anyhow that'll probably deal with this problem.
