Hello, All.



New ES player here. Been playing 4X Space games since the 8-Bit days. Started with ES over the weekend, and love it so far. Might be the best I've ever played. Anyway, I've worked my way up the learning curve, but there is one thing that I can't figure out, even after a lot of searching.



Issue: My system improvements Ind-Sci Conversion and Ind-Dust Conversions show an Infinite Cost. They queue up in the production queue, but the production time is infinite. They are not grayed out, and I don't see any red-text missing requirements. I've tried progressing double-digit turns, and they're still there with infinite costs and turns to produce. Is this a bug or am I missing something that should be obvious?



Thanks!

Thanks!

Your conversions are what you choose when you don't have anything else you want to build. They simply convert a third of your industry into either research or dust and will do so every turn they are at the top of (or the only thing in) your build queue. Note if they are at the top of your queue, nothing below will get built.

Thanks, Coyote303!



I don't think I would have figured that out. I thought the the Ind-Sci and Ind-Dust conversions had to be built like other system improvements. I guess this is why I didn't find them in the list of System Improvements on the Wiki. Thanks again.

You're welcome. I should clarify that you can only do one or the other. (If both are in your queue, only the top one takes effect.)
