[NFP] Bugs with the Alchemical Society and city states 1.0.3.31

[Opasonofpopa]

It seems that the university bonus from 3 envoy scientific city states does not apply correctly to the Alchemical Society, making it worse than an university in many situations, though I guess the great person points can make up for this. Still, I can only assume that this is a bug.

Interestingly enough, great scientist bonuses, such as the +4 from Einstein apply as intended, so I have no idea what kind of spaghetti is going on in the code.

I assume the same applies to the Gilded Vault, though I have not tested this.

Sadly, I didn't save the game where I noticed this and autosaves have already been overwritten by a different game. I hope that this is easy enough to reproduce though.

Welcome to the forums Good catch. I can confirm your finding and provide a save for reproduction:

Spoiler :

Opasonofpopa is likely as well on spot with his assumption that this affects the Owls GV special building, too.

EDIT: MrRadar with a confirming report for the GV: https://forums.civfanatics.com/thre...onus-from-3-envoys-in-a-mercantile-cs.661850/

To reproduce with the attached save:

1. End turn (to let Stockholm finish the University in Progress)
2. At the start of the new turn, go to the building tab of Stockholm, investigate the new built University by see its tooltip, see that it displays +6 science (4 base and 2 more for having 3 envoys in Bologna)
3. Now become HO member and instantly spend a 2nd gov title for the Ritual promotion to get access to the AS
4. Now go to Stockholms building tab again, see that the University has been converted to an AS as intended and let you diplay its tooltip. See that now you only have the 4 base science output and the envoy bonus has vanished.
(5. You might end turn again, to see that this issue persists and this is not a case of the game needing a turn end to update)

This becomes interesting. I had a game, where AS got the bonus:

Spoiler :

Einstein and 3 SciCS raised it to 14. No mods, all expansions and DLC. Iirc, both modes were enabled for this one, while only SS for Owl game, where GV was left without the CS envoy bonus.

If the program does not recognize Alchemical Society as a tier2 in Campus, there is another possibility that Policy Card Rationalism doesn't work either.
I've not checked yet but will see if it happens.


(EDIT) In the code, Alchemical Society is a Unique Building like Madrasa.

<Row CivUniqueBuildingType="BUILDING_ALCHEMICAL_SOCIETY" ReplacesBuildingType="BUILDING_UNIVERSITY"/>

I think Madrasa might have same issue, if Devs touched something on it.

(EDIT) Checked to find Madrasa is free from this issue.

From April 2021 Update Version 1.0.12.9

• Buildings with overrides (ex. [Ethiopia Pack] the Alchemical Society which overrides the University) will now correctly receive yields intended for the base building.

I'm assuming this corrects this bug?
