Summary	0025484: Some ships don't appear in science summaries
Description	Sometimes the list of what lines will be upgraded by a tech seem incomplete. For example, in the attached save I own a parasite citadel but the mobile fort tech states that I don't have anything applicable to upgrade (despite a strength estimate of the upgrade).
Tags	No tags attached.

Ecthelon Aug 13, 2021 4:01 am reporter ~0062706	I'm afraid this old save still shows the same issue. The parasite citadel isn't counted in the list of lines that will be upgraded for "mobile fort". In fact there isn't even a strength estimate for the tech any more. Manual 2.save (460,983 bytes)

Chris_McElligottPark Aug 16, 2021 4:58 pm administrator ~0062727	First bit: * Fixed an issue where when you were looking at the effect of direct upgrades for a fleet, it would not show you anything that did not have an explicit ship cap. So for instance, the command station and the metal harvesters, which are a "what you have here is what is there" sort of count were being omitted from that view.

Chris_McElligottPark Aug 17, 2021 12:56 am administrator ~0062729	Thanks! * Added a new CalculateMarkLevelForShipLine() that does the comprehensive logic for calculating the mark level for a ship line at a fleet. ** Before some of this data was a bit embedded in other logic, making it harder to read as well as impossible to get at any way other than by actually having a ship line of the specific type in a fleet. * The way that estimations of how many ships and how much strength you will gain from upgrades has been redone heavily. This takes into account the differing levels of units in your various fleets, for one thing. Additionally, if you have fleets with different levels and you C-click into a tech, it will show you the various levels with those total counts. ** This may fix the turret count thing? Not sure yet. * Added a new CollapseFromFleetsForTypeDownToTypesByMarkLevel() to ship lister utils. ** Previously, we were only ever able to see the global player average mark level of things, and not the actual marks that differed based on fleet upgrades. Now it breaks it out when it needs to. * The way that fleet ship caps are calculated is now very slightly different when there are units that use MultiplierToAllFleetCaps, such as for turrets. This multiplier is now used at the very end of all other multipliers, rather than at the start, which means we can now calculate differentiate caps properly without having to know the starting ship cap. The overall impact to gameplay probably will be slight, but will affect the number of turrets that are in each cap somewhat. ** Unless the math was done wrong somehow or there was an implication we missed, in which case let us know how many extra or fewer turrets you have... * When you have completed a tech line, its tooltip is now more correct in that it is clear that no more upgrades will happen. * When you're on the refund screen for techs, C-clicking and tooltips no longer say things about upgrading, they only say things about the refund. Minor confusing text details, essentially. * A variety of windows talking about techs of ships now show the tech roman numeral after the ship name. This is a help for new players in particular, and makes it so no-one has to perfectly memorize those colors. * The tech tooltip actually breaks out ships and defenses seprately for the line items, same as it does for the tallies and total strength counting. ** In general, there is better seperation and formatting now so you can see what the heck is going on. * C-clicking in the science retrieval window finally shows the proper fleets and totals. * The totals for the ship lines were indeed fixed by Badger recently, but the number of defensive lines increased was still a bit off, showing the defensive TYPES, not lines. The strength totals for both were accurate, though. And honestly, because of the funky way that turrets and such work, it makes more sense to show the types. So the tooltips have been updated to say that those are by type. Since they are and that makes sense. TLDR: ships and defenses are just handled differently because they work differently. But the strength totals are the same and are accurate either way, and the details are now correct in the tooltips and C-clicks. * Fixed the "Retrieve Spent Science" text being offset low on its button for some reason.
