Built a Monument, joined Voidsingers but no OGO!

[HiRezAudio]

This one just bit me, and I did not get a save file (I restarted in a fit of temper and wish I had not).
Playing as Eleanor on Deity mode, and was 3 turns away from completing my Monument so held off on joining Voidsingers (if you join whilst building a monument, it gets scrapped & all production into it is lost) until it had completed.
On joining Voidsingers, I expected to see it upgraded to an Old God Obelisk, along with +4 faith every turn.
Guess what happened next?
The square root of SFA - that's what. It 'upgraded' to the OGO, but gave me no faith whatsoever.....I feel cheated. Is this normal behaviour?

Neither the "normal" building in progress being scrapped when getting access to the secret society variant nor an OGO without faith after conversion sounds correct. For my taste, both are bugs.

That's what I thought too.
Both are extremely galling for certain. At least when a unit 'upgrades' whilst it's earlier version is in production just switches to the newer (ie 'more expensive') version, but this one you just lose all production already put into the building as the 'new' OGO went right back to a full 9 turns to build, even though I was just 3 turns away from completing the monument.

I joined Voidsinger on a late-era start (Renaissance?) so monuments where built in cities. They were automatically transformed in all cities.

But did you get the faith output? I didn't on the one that had already been built - nada, zip, nothing at all.
Also, why am I losing production on Monument on getting OGO when if I am building a troop that gets updated, I do not lose the production to the obsolete one. It adds to the new one.
If this is also working 'as intended' it is stupid. Like so many of these mechanics - badly thought out & implemented even worse.

Not sure. I got it from the relics inside but from the monument?

There is a save here if you want to check: [1.0.8.4] Cultists and their Relics are bugged beyond belief

I can see a bug in your screenshot - some OGO have 3 slots, others just one. They should all have 1, yes? So why do 2 have 3 slots?
OGO should give a base of 4 faith too even without any great works in it

Those are for the towns where I made heroes. I guess there is more slot because of that: 2 for the hero, one for the cultist?

In this game I'm not Voidsingers and I have 2 slots for heroes:

Gotcha.
I don't use Heroes very much - tried it a couple of times & just do not like it, so did not know.
Thanks for the explanation.

And Memphis for example has made no hero so has no slot at all in its monument in the previous screenshot.

Can't see Memphis - does it have an OGO? If it does, it should get a slot.
Add this to the dreadful overwriting problem & this is another great example of yet another broken mechanic.

No, I'm with Owls of Minerva on this game so it's a normal monument. Just to show you, without Voidsingers, and with heroes, how it is.
