I've been staring at this for 5 minutes trying to figure out what you want us to see...
Single Player bugs and crashes v38 plus (SVN) - After the 20th of February 2018
- Thread starter Dancing Hoskuld
- Start date
Some techs, that unlock improvements, that are upgrade of other improvements display text "Allows Improvement X to upgrade to Improvement Y".
Not all techs unlocking upgraded improvements display this text.

You're seeing the tech that unlocks being defined in the XML but not properly being defined in the pedia listing?
Give me a specific example of one that works and one that fails, not images, just the XML names for them.
Planetary Economics displays text correctly (Hybrid Forest - upgrade to Treefarm is unlocked here)
Ecology doesn't (Treefarm - upgrade to Lumbermill is unlocked here, note that I changed it in last SVN)

@Yudishtira I really would like a save that shows this! I'm quite interested in solving this one.
Is there a save to go with this?
Once again I say, that I provided file, that removes requirements for property removing ordinances.
Even without requirements only some ordnances are showing on game start, and they all should appear on beginning, since they have no requirements (you need replace file).
In this case you should see all 8 or 9 ordinances on game start instead of three.
Alternatively you can try Snofru's save few posts earlier - it contains this bug. There is no need to replace special buildings file in case of his save.
Here is example building
It should be buildable on game start, since there are no requirements (I removed them as test).
Code:
<BuildingInfo>
<!-- Ordinance - Clean Water Act -->
<BuildingClass>BUILDINGCLASS_CLEANWATER_ACT</BuildingClass>
<Type>BUILDING_CLEANWATER_ACT</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_BUILDING_CLEANWATER_ACT</Description>

<FreeBuilding>BUILDINGCLASS_CLEANWATER_ACT_EFFECT</FreeBuilding>
<!-- Special Health and Happiness modifiers -->
<iGlobalHealth>2</iGlobalHealth>
<iAIWeight>1</iAIWeight>
</BuildingInfo>
Code:
<BuildingClassInfo>
<Type>BUILDINGCLASS_CLEANWATER_ACT</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_BUILDING_CLEANWATER_ACT</Description>
<iMaxGlobalInstances>-1</iMaxGlobalInstances>
<iMaxTeamInstances>-1</iMaxTeamInstances>
<iMaxPlayerInstances>1</iMaxPlayerInstances>
<iExtraPlayerInstances>-1</iExtraPlayerInstances>
<DefaultBuilding>BUILDING_CLEANWATER_ACT</DefaultBuilding>
</BuildingClassInfo>It appears I managed to fix it: Something is glitchy about <iExtraPlayerInstances>-1</iExtraPlayerInstances> entry, when I removed it then ordnance (with removed prereqs) appeared.
First screenshot is without <iExtraPlayerInstances>-1</iExtraPlayerInstances>
Second screenshot is with <iExtraPlayerInstances>-1</iExtraPlayerInstances>
Spoiler :
Here is Snofru's save, where I moved things needed to build ordinances.
It was used only in main assets and LunarColony module
Apparently I can safely throw out that <iExtraPlayerInstances>-1</iExtraPlayerInstances>

Ok, solved. You were apparently working on this while I was and I did not see your edits. That said, you're pretty much on it. iExtraPlayerInstances doesn't just hide the buildings but when set to -1 makes any limited building (national wonder, world wonder, team project) with a limit of 1 be completely unbuildable by a unit or any other means. iExtraPlayerInstances IS NOT a -1 by default. So everywhere it was set to -1 in the XML is an error. It's default is actually 0 and the only use it should have is on the Palace, to have a definition of 1. I have a BuildingClassInfos file that fixes this now.
If you're taking care of modularized instances where that -1 is applied at least, that would be appreciated.
Main assets and one module file had those that is over 350 entries.
I removed those and committed in svn.
You can see all places where this tag was used.
It was used VERY randomly - not all autobuilds had it, not all regular buildings had it, some wonders had it.
Three ordnances were buildable despite having <iExtraPlayerInstances>-1<iExtraPlayerInstances>
It seems like modders blindly copycatted that thing for 10 years, but somehow it didn't spread to other modules.
Palace is only one, that uses <iExtraPlayerInstances>, and its of value "1".

Okay, mostly false alarm. The mouseover is giving the cumulative culture for all the engineer specialists. Only for culture, clearly a bug. Same for all other specialist types, as far as I can see.

Ok, please still provide a save. Ours isn't showing this on our end. Maybe show me with a clip image that shows it if you can so I know exactly where you are hovering. That might be even more valuable than a save.

I'm hovering on the plus or minus sign next to the engineer (or other) specialist in the city screen. There are currently (say) 30 engineers, and the mouseover gives an 'Actual:' figure of (say) +149.1 culture.
Here's the save if you still need it. The capital illustrates the issue as well as anywhere.

In the pedia under specialists it should show you when engineers are getting culture.

Thanks - good suggestion (for next time).

Yeah there is clearly a bug here. I have cleaned up part of it but there yet may be more so I am still researching things
Thanks for the save.
The "Animated Movie Featuring National Wonder" (AMFNW) building is a great idea (and new to me). But I think it is not working as intended. I think it should work with any Wonder of Nature but here it requires the Auyántepui (maybe because it is the 1st in alphabet??). The Auyántepui is not in my reach and maybe not even existing on my map and therefore I can´t build a single "Animated Movie Featuring National Wonder". I have cities next to other Wonder of Natures, e.g. Mount Everest but I can´t build the AMFNW anywhere.
This one was done by @Dancing Hoskuld
I don't know what he wanted to do with it and why it was abandoned.

It is a homage to the movie "Up!". Auyántepui was added late and the person who worked on converting them to C2C was not around any more. That meant that it had nothing special or even ordinary about it. If you are going to make the "Animated Movie Featuring National Wonder" building available to all natural wonders then you need to do something to make Auyántepui in line with the other natural wonders or remove it completely.
It is working as intended and was never abandoned.
I like the idea that in some games it is not possible to build everything.
Ah so its Easter egg.
Building name sounds like it could require any national wonder though.
Auyántepui is like any natural wonder by the way.
That is there is building requiring it that gets and loses yields from techs.
Craters and volcanoes are unique, as it allows few other buildings. There are is landform myth enabling wonder too.
Aurora has NO buildings related to it.
Aurora could get building, that gets and loses yields with techs like stargazing, astrology, geocentrism, astronomy, space tourism, space stations and few other such techs.
Improvements and cities should be placable on tile containing aurora.
