[boskid][2.0.5] Research effect bonus tooltip wrong (upgrade/percentage/technology) MR

Post by Phoenix27833 »

After you have researched worker robot speed the effect tooltip changes from showing [+0% -> +35%] to [+35% -> +70%]

I would expect it to still show the effect of this research which was [+0% -> +35%]

Also unresearched upgrades should show their effect

Re: [Klonan][2.0.5] Robot speed effect tooltip wrong

I observed this bug in [2.0.10] in many more multi stepped technologies involving some kind of increasing bonus.

If I queue up multiple researches that enhance the same property, the tooltip of the first queued research is correct: +<increase of bonus> [+<current bonus> --> +<bonus after research>]

But for the second research in the queue, the current bonus and the bonus after research ignore the increase of the bonus of the first research, which will always happen before the second research can start (because of the research dependency).

I expect to see +60% [+190% -> +250%] in the tooltip for lab research speed 6 (second picture).

The same effect can be observed on many other researches as well, like robot cargo size, or steel plate productivity.

Thanks for the report. This was discussed internally and decided that it will remain as is. There is no functional way to show anything else meaningful given you can view the tooltips for unresearched and researched technologies.

It always shows what applying *that effect* *right now* would give.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Is it possible to re-evaluate this issue? It's really confusing because the tooltip does not provide the information you would expect. The shown information should match the surrounding box. The cost info also displays the selected research item. So right now, the cost info does not match the effects info either.

Decisions about the effect tooltips were changed and this is now fixed for 2.1.15.
