[2.1.14] Capture bot rocket shown in Rocket damage research tooltip

Post by etpi »

Hello! :)

1. What did you do?
Going in the research tree, selecting Stronger explosives 3 (or higher) and hovering over the Rocket damage icon in the effects pane.


2. What happened?
The tooltip displays Capture bot rocket, alongside the expected regular rockets.

3. What did you expect to happen instead?
The capture bot rocket is a special type of rocket, which does not actually deal damage. As seen in 133736, the implementation of the capture bot rocket simulates dealing 1000000 electric damage to reserve a target spawner. In practice, no damage is actually dealt by the Capture bot rocket, so having this ammo entry listed in the Rocket damage increase tooltip seems wrong to me.


4. Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Always
