[2.1.8] Wired Science-Labs flip-flop between set researched technologies

Post by someone1337 »

How to reproduce:
  • You need to have 2 (or more) labs with a wire connection and "set research" enabled.
  • In lab 1 you set a conditional research technology with its condition fulfilled (1==1, or something like that) as top-level technology to research.
  • In lab 2 you set a different conditional research technology with its condition fulfilled (1==1, or something like that) as top-level technology to research.
Result:

All your labs start flip-flopping between the researched technologies every tick or so, consuming science packs and seemingly not progressing the researched technologies at all.

Thanks for the report however this is not a bug. You’ve set multiple labs to change the research and so they are. Progress is applied correctly as the labs run.

If that’s not the behavior you want, don’t do that.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
