Possible Bug : Can't build Utopia Project

[TheMarshmallowBear]

Hello, I've noticed something weird today :

I was finishing up my second play (on Settler, I know I know) and I had Cultural and Science vicotries on, as well as 8 other players, standard map size, many many islands (archiplego i believe) and I've noticed something strange, once I reach the finishing line for my 5th Social Policy branch, I finally was allowed to build the Utopia Project, or atleast I should, the Wonder Utopia Project was greyed out and I was unable to build it in ANY of my cities, I had some puppet states aswell, but there was no RED text that say something "You need X in all cities" or "You can't build when you have Y stationed in" etc. there was nothing, and yet Utopia Project was greyed out... is it a bug or is there a requirment I am unaware of?

Please check if maybe one of your puppets is building it.

I had the same situation occur in GOTM #3, couldn't figure out why. It was one of my puppets, who I had to annex to stop them.

Hmm, I did have few puppets, probably Siam nation who I captured and puppeted.

But doesn't it then say in red text "That only one building can exist in the world?"

Anyway thanks guys but it wouldn't matter, because I also then managed to win with Space Victory.

This happened to me as well as I marched towards a cultural victory with India. The least capable of my two puppeted cities immediately switched to producing the Utopia Project, while the other puppet-city stopped production completely. It wasn't doing wealth or research even, just nothing.

I didn't catch this immediately, had to tab out of the game and go here to find out that this was the problem. Just like the OP I just saw that the Utopia Project was greyed out and greatly puzzled by it.

I would definitely call it a bug. Especially since the other puppet-city stopped production completely. Considering also that puppets don't otherwise produce wonders, this must be unintentional. Annoyingly since I had to annex the city to switch production of the Utopia Project over to my considerably more productive capital, I was stopped from getting the Achievement for getting a cultural win with just 3 cities, since the annexing brought me up to four. Very bad, but I wasn't about to let my main competitor eke out a space race win just because my worst city was chugging along at the project for 49 turns.

Has to be a bug.

Vuriche, you could've just razed those cities.

I can't build the Utopia Project either.
I made a scenario just to make the utopia project (test) and no matter what I do I still can't. No puppets here either.

Here's a save-game file for testing.
To use, just play as Washington and build the Utopia Project in Washington - you're game will freeze..

Edit: Just found I can't build the Apollo Program either using this save-game..

Preytor,

I loaded up your save but things didn't seem right. Turn 89 and you have 1.6 million gold? How is that possible?
