I found a fun bug on my first playthrough. Here is what happened, in order:
It is also important to note that this was NOT infinite production. After a few turns some of the buildings/wonders/projects began to take more turns. Not immediately, but slowly. For example, the Estadio do Maracana was originally 1 turn, then 2, then 13, etc. My first time through I remember the one-term-production lasting until the end of the game ~8 turns later, but when replaying it to demonstrate the bug it only lasted 4 turns. My guess is this is related to how much production was left on the original Launch Mars Habitation, as there was more left in the replay.
- A city was building Launch Mars Habitation. In the linked file the city is Skedsmo.
- I recruited a Great Scientist, Carl Sagan, with faith. Carl Sagan provides +3000 progress to any space race project. This is where the save file is located.
- I activated Carl Sagan in the Spaceport. At this point the Mar habitation had maybe 1500 production left in the original game and 2110 production left where the save point begins.
- After completing the production of the Mars habitation that turn, Skedsmo appears to have gained an absurd amount of free production. I was able to produce the following in a single turn each on replay:
- Eiffel Tower (2100 production)
- Operation Ivy (1000 production)
- Build Thermonuclear Device (1000 production)
- Zoo (405 production)
- ... and in the original game I remember more, but this illustrates the point. Together that is 6615 production, when AT MOST there should have been 3390 (3000+ 78*5).
