Bug Dissapering devices (edit actually a feature)

Post by KtoTam »

When right clicking Dump button and no RSV unit exists im the hex vehicles just dissapear into thin air. No RSV unit is created and no changes are reported in the global pool.

As a side note having Dump button and detach disabled button work in the opposite way is a tad confusing. For Dump button right click to move vehicles into an existing RSV unit and left click to create a new RSV unit. For detach disabled right click to create a new RSV and left click to move to an existing one. Instead those buttons should probably be standardized and work in the same fashion.

The dump button creates a unit named Vehicle Dump which is a RSV unit.

If you left click it certainly does. But if you right click with no RSV unit in the hex the vehicles just dissapear.

Pool is empty so they did not just transfer directly to the pool.

Those devices may need some repairs, keep checking for the next few turns to see if they go into the pools. Or just reload a previous save and continue. I try to remember to save at the beginning of the turn and during the turn.

Normally disbanded devices appear in the pool instantly. Nevertheless I did run 2-3 turns to check and there were no changes to the pool of railway cars.

Thank you, hopefully someone will ask for saves.

This one seems intended.

Good catch. Although I would prefer it to be somehow indicated by the UI.
