Summary0019244: Unwanted planet capture and more
DescriptionYesterday I tried to capture my first ARS, 2 planets off my first one.
I captured the first and second planet, no problem. Tried to hack the design template server on the second planet (Elysia), did nothing.
Then I continued to the third one, Tichy. Got some resistance there and lost some forces. I did not yet select "try to capture planet" for this one.
after a while, POOF - all my and enemy forces in the system but the controller (now mine) and my ark are gone.
I also somehow now have 385 AIP. The ARS is gone. As is the Design server on Elysia.
And the controller on Elysia seems to spawn units (which afaik it should not be able to)
And my unit list on Tichy is oscillating between 11 and 13 squads.
I don't know if all of these are connected, but I haven't seen any of them alone.
TagsNo tags attached.

So I'm actually really curious how you got a save game called "wtf_happened_to_my_fleet.save". You should have a filename something like "wtf_happened_to_my_fleet.save~#LT#656191788#732#weird#Vanilla#Normal.save".

I renamed it manually to be able to load it (see 0019243)

Did you start this game with the Devourer Golem on?

I have definitely observed the Devourer and Dyson Sphere ships sometimes destroying planetary controllers. I think the code changes in .509 broke some assumption someplace in the core code. The ExternalCode chunk of those special factions looks accurate (they just return false for "GetShouldAttackNormallyExcludedTarget".

This is a very weird problem, and noone has seen anything like it in months. Also, " Fixed a bug where AOE damage could hit things-that-should-not-normally-hit-without-direct-orders (controllers, warp gates). " seems to have prevented controllers from dying unexpectedly to the Devourer and other special factions.

Burnstreet can you duplicate this issue with the current build?

Going to mark this as resolved for now, pending anyone seeing it again.
