Rewards when buying buildings is heavily broken

[KungFuCharlie]

There are a few posts about buying health buildings not adding health like they should. I've noticed buying buildings that provide other types of perks are also broken. For example, buying surveillance web didn't decrease my cities intrigue at all like it should have. I don't have a save game unfortunately.

Figured we needed a single thread for all the broken building buys.

I think most of the health building problems are due to a misunderstanding of how local health works (and the game doesn't help explain it very well). Though some issues seem to suggest the problem is more than just that.

In some cases yes, I agree it is a misunderstanding. But I do believe there are problems. In a few cases I looked at all the buildings the city had and the population, then purchased a building that should have given a + to health and there was no change.

I've seen it with other bonuses as well... such as purchasing surveillance web and seeing no drop in city intrigue even after a few turns.

There is definitely a bug in the building bonuses when purchasing. It almost makes buying buildings specifically for the bonuses useless.

I wonder if saving the game after buying the building and then reloading the game would have it take effect... I'll have to test that tonight.
