- Subject: More trouble in the supply code
I have noticed two odd things happening in fantasy.g that are probably
due to malfunctioning supply and/or economy code and did not happen
prior to some of the recent updates (I'm not sure exactly which one):
1. If a unit is building another unit with a consumption-per-build > 0
of any material (e.g. mana for a cloudkeep, metal for a tower), the unit
may end up with a negative supply of that material before it stops
building (e.g. one might find serfs with -2/6 metal). And whenever a
unit's supply of any material drops below zero, the unit is completely
incapacitated until it can restore or receive supplies that pull it out
of "the red".
2. Although the in-length for mana of an amulet of power is -1 (i.e.
never receives mana from anywhere or anything), I frequently see it
drawing mana from its transport (usually a wizard)! It seems to me that
it should only be able to give mana to its transport, but never take
mana.
