FreeUnit= sets building minimum cost

Askhati · Jumpjet Infantry **Joined**: 22 Dec 2009

Not sure if this is a bug or not, or if other people have discovered this already, but wanted to share anyway:

- building has cost set to X
- building gives FreeUnit=B
- unit B has cost Y>X
- in game, building will have cost set to Y

I discovered this when testing out a new refinery (cost set to $1) which also gives a free harvester (cost of $1400) - once launched, the game set the refinery cost to $1400 instead of $1.

yes, it's known
The building will also keep the construction speed from its own cost. The only way in TS to make a building cost a lot but build very fast.

Is there a single place somewhere where we can deposit all this type of info/ nuggets of randomness, or are they just scattered all over?

A lot of info for both TS and RA2 is updated at ModEnc. Some detailed info can be found here also using the search (use AND between keywords).

Those things sound easy to patch to 'fix' for mods.

That's nothing to fix and actually a useful feature.
After all it's the only way in TS to give a building a construction speed that's faster than usual with the same cost.
