I find that this happens when some units have movement points and others don't have any.

@jiallombardo Can I ask you how comes you have so many ecologist units?! 
For what purpuse, are that high your water and air polution?

Upload save, probably there is error in upgrade time calculationsI think that is too much, playing on Marathon and large space map (growing to Village etc. is also way too long).

That is correct. Pepper's Civics have had marginal changes by me. Some I think by raxo2222, I think.
The Med Era somewhat, but the Ren/Industrial/Atomic/next Era only cursory when I 1st started the project.
As Players make it into these Eras a save game placed in the Civics Thread would be greatly appreciated to help with data collection and evaluations of these areas.

Well, I had 88 cities, each having 2000+ air pollution, mid-Atomic era. I also build almost every building, because I play for fun@jiallombardo Can I ask you how comes you have so many ecologist units?!
(except for Maginot Line, and the buildings that remove trade routes). My income was 700k per turn, so I didn't mind spamming rangers to suppress pollution. It wasn't enough though, some cities still had ~500 pollution, until I researched Ecology and Recycling I'm about to enter Information Era, but my playstyle is very specific (I build most of the buildings, and intentionally switch civics sometimes to build civic-specific buildings, like Grand Manors, Art Patronages etc). Would my save be helpful? If so, which exact thread should I post to?

Perhaps you have traits that make such an upgrade take so long with the intent that it basically won't ever upgrade under that trait.I think that is too much

One more question -- has the meltdown mechanic been disabled? I can see there's a "nukeImmune" tag, but I don't see any py-scripts that implement meltdown. The Pedia also doesn't have "Small chance of Meltdown" property on Nuclear Plants (as well as Utility Fog, for example). Is the mechanic gone, or are the descriptions missing? If so, which buildings can currently cause meltdown to occur? Or is it tied to "Random Events" flag?
NukeImmune tag is completely unrelated.
This meltdown mechanic was disabled (related tag was removed from all buildings) like year ago as it was way too disruptive, and didn't made much of sense.

It made total sense on the initial fission plants.
All I thought didn't make sense personally was that it was applied to all dangerous buildings as a representation of the danger they pose rather than having more appropriate disaster scenarios for those that didn't always involve fallout.
All praise the utility fog!
Chernobyl happened because of incompetence.
So you should be blaming dictatorships.
And we know, that nuclear war means total destruction of civilization or at least modern technology.
So destruction should be scaled with city size - bigger cities would lose less buildings as effectively one building represents multiple buildings (this isn't simulated yet).
Also destruction chance should depend on civics too.
If you have wonder that represent moving asteroids around, there there should be small chance of utter destruction of civilization on earth with that 50 km asteroid.
In cosmic era you can sterilize entire galaxies.
in last era you can delete reality itself.
And microwave powerplant (space solar collectors beaming down energy)All praise the utility fog!

It was more accurate as it was than it is to completely remove it. At some point, variation in nuclear explosion events will be made into a much more detailed game engine but for now I don't see how removing the capability of meltdown from all nuc plants makes any sense at all.
What about 9 mile island? Fukushima? and the ones destined to happen in our future still? There's no such thing as an unsinkable ship. Nature seems to take offense to any effort to think we have controlled it flawlessly and regularly proves to us that nothing we do is ever flawless.
I do admit the mod was having these events take place too often.
And yes, we need a disaster event engine that's a bit more easily set with various variables, directly tied to what risks people are taking with the technology at their fingertips.
Only one (earliest) nuclear powerplant had chance of meltdown.
Also often humans are weakest part of link.
Fukushima and 9 mile island accidents were temporary disruption (much less dangerous than Chernobyl) - could be simulated by surge of Radioactivity property, that temporarily reduces city productivity, health and happiness.

Not saying we aren't the weakest part of the link, but we are the planners and engineers and operators, all of whom could easily make a mistake.
As for those, that's true, (though I think Fukushima has been FAR worse than any gov wants to admit in terms of the lasting damage it has done to the planet) except we don't yet have a more in depth ability to establish such variations without extensive direct python programming for various buildings. At some point we should build a better disaster game engine but until then I have no problem with the simpler 'acts like a nuclear blast' disaster scenario as long as it's a nuclear one.
Radiation doesn't do lasting damage once it dissipates to low enough level.
All those nuclear tests were more destructive than fukushima.
Also Chernobyl was orders of magnitude worse.
Even 10x usual background radiation isn't too much.
Microplastics and other persistent pollutants are often more serious.
So persistent pollution autobuildings should be added too.
Preferably if they would require buildings created by any civ.

Wow... wherever you got your education didn't want you to think of radiation as a serious threat huh? lol That's absolutely absurd. Even a small amount of radiation exposure can dramatically damage environments for generations to come with harmful random mutations and carcinogens. Sure microplastics and other pollutants are serious as well, PERHAPS worse, but it will take some generations to really see just how devastating the released radiation into the ocean will prove to be. Chernobyl was worse, yes, but it didn't spill into an ocean so as to poison the foundation of the global ecosystem either.
Radiation is serious thread, but you shouldn't be exaggerating it, there were oceanic nuclear tests too.
Also radiation will simply dilute to safe level in oceans - that is low enough so organism can heal themselves easily.
Radiation is much worse when it happens on land.
Climate change and regular pollution is way more disruptive than fukushima radiation.
