Summary0011842: Engineers - inconsistent behavior across savestates
DescriptionSomeone reported it over on the Steam hub by Timtomtoo:

"Pretty sure this is a bug. At the very least, it's an inconsistency. Captured a couple of planets earlier today with golems (the planets had golems I mean, I didn't capture them using golems), and the auto-FRD engineers started to claim them (as expected). I was running low on crystal/metal so went to the still unclaimed golems to put them in stand-down mode and see if this would stop the engineers, but it didn't (probably as designed). I could (probably should) have turned off the auto-FRD in those particular planets to get my resources up, but didn't bother as had to save and do other life things.

Just loaded the game, and the engineers are now ignoring the still unclaimed golems. If I then put the golems into normal mode, the engineers jump to reclaim them as before (and I can put them back into stand-down mode and the engineers continue).

If they're working on an unclaimed golem, which is then put into stand-down mode, surely either:

a) the engineers should stop reclaiming the golem straightaway, and continue not to reclaim if the game is subsequently saved and reloaded; or

b) the engineers should continue to reclaim the golem, and continue to reclaim the golem if the game is subsequently saved and reloaded.

Currently they continue to reclaim the golem, and do not continue to reclaim the golem if the game is subsequently saved and reloaded.

Surely whether or not the game is saved and reloaded should not have any impact on what the game does.

Also, /without/ the "Engineers Do Not Assist Stand-Down Ships" selected, on reload the engineers were not assisting the golems when stood down. When they really ought to, shouldn't they?

What I mean is, with the option turned /on/ the engineers should do 'a' above, and when turned /off/ the engineers should do 'b'.

What they /should/ do if they are reclaiming a golem which has been put in stand-down mode, and then the option is switched on, is anyone's guess. :D They currently continue to work on the golem (but wont start to reclaim), but maybe they should stop? The latter makes more sense to me, but maybe it's the former by design."
