[NFP] [1.0.2.39] Construction of Flood Barriers still possible after CC lvl7 (and the AI does it)

[Pfeffersack]

After the climate change has reached level VII continuing already started Flood Barriers is pointless, but the game allows it. I think it would make more sense if they get removed as building option, but if this isn't technically possible or feasible for other reasons, please teach at least the AI to not to continue their construction and to switch over to another production, as a human player will do:

To reproduce with the attached save:

1. The save is from end of the turn before climate change lvl 7 is triggered. Note that I'm building a FB in Kaniana and the Brazil AI in two of their cities.

2. Now end turn, see that the game reaches CC lvl 7 and get notified about the 3m lowlands being lost forever. However, see that both in my and the Brazilian cities the construction of the FBs is still going on.

3. End turn again to see that is not a problem of the game needing to recalculate/adjust - the construction goes on, until the production is changed manually (what a good human player will do) or the useless FB is completed (sadly, the AI seems to do that)

Something “being pointless” and something being a bug, are two different things.

Something “being pointless” and something being a bug, are two different things.

Not everything pointless is a bug, yes...but here I think it is both (pointless and buggy). The FB has a requirement for being able to built it (at least one non-permanently flooded lowland tile); I tested this with a new found city in the same save a few turns later - the city has permanently lost former land tiles in its radius and I can't built the FB:

Spoiler :

So the cities in question from the OP no longer meet this requirement; the only difference it that they have met it in the past, when construction was started. The usual way Civ6 deals with buildings under construction no longer meeting the prequesite is removing them from the building queue and as pickable construction choice (either permanently or until the prequesite is met again). I don't see why the FB should be treated differently; aside from the potential to trap the AI or inexperienced/uncontentrated players.

@Pfeffersack And that is a good argumentation of why this is a bug, I agree.
