[0.16.50] Infinite research increment resets with console?

Post by TheOrangeAngle »

Not sure if this is a bug, intended, or something not worth fixing.

When working in a sandbox world, I often like to have the worker robot speed infinite research quite high to get things done quicker. The easiest way I have found to do this is by spamming the

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.technologies['worker-robots-speed-6'].researched=true
a few dozen times, until the number is at about 50 or so.

After setting up a macro to open the console, press the up arrow and then enter repeatedly, I realized the worker robot speed was too high for my liking (~300) , and wanted to step it back to around 50. I figured that replacing the true for a false in the code above would step the research down by one, but instead it stepped down all the way to 6. Is this intended? I feel that if setting an infinite research true steps up the level by one, it should step down by that increment as well.

Attached is my log, and a link to a youtube video (14s)showing what I was doing.

This is intended behaviour.

Also, I might have a good news for you, you can access the level, so you can write that the level = 300 and you are done.
