Mining golem question

[Vinraith]

So if there's a data center on a planet the mining golem is going to destroy, does that net me the -20 AIP (to offset the 20 AIP from the destruction of the command post and gate) or is it just lost?

You'd have to try it to be 1000% sure, but it should give you the AI Progress reduction.  I'm 99% sure that would happen, but I've never had that particular confluence of events to test it!

OK then, I guess I'll report back when it's done its thing.

Cool, I'll be curious to know.

Make sure and save right before, if you think it might not work.  We can fix it based off that if that's what happens.  But, I think it will work like you want.

I don't know about Data Centers but you don't get resources from a Distribution Node. This is normal I guess as I didn't destroy it?

Hmm... that may have changed in the last few releases so that you now do.  But I'd have to look into that, if still not.

I have the latest beta patch. I will dig through the autosaves and write a mantis ticket if I can confirm it.

I'm pleased to say we got our data center AIP reduction, so that's working as intended.

And, thanks for that shugyosha -- I wasn't sure how recently you'd run into that.
