Construction Packets arm military buildings???

[Cheesecake]

I had a deficit when I got an upgrade, and a mortar was being built. I made it where buildings build 10% faster, and THEN the deficit started emptying like crazy... so many flooded out from the deficit that my construction packets actually gave the mortar enough ammo to fire one time :P

English please?

In other words:

GLITCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i dont think i got that either, can you post a screenshot or a better description?

I think he is saying that he thinks he has discovered a glitch. But it is what software developers call an "edge case."

If you are building a large number of units/buildings at the same time and incur a deficit, then upgrade to the "units cost 10% less" upgrade, the deficit might be less than the 10% reduction in construction cost. In that case in-transit construction packages (grey) got transformed into ammo packages (pink).

But I highly doubt it. And unless he posts a map (and perhaps a video of it happening) I'm going to continue doubting that. I can't  even begin to think how to construct a map to prove/disprove this theory.

this is a post by Virgil that explains things differently.

A deficit is not necessary for this.
Just build a military building some distance away from the city, wait until all construction packages are on their way and apply the "10% cheaper" upgrade.
When the last packages arrive at the building it is already finished and they charge it instead.

No, they remained gray the whole time.

ive recently noticed this also but I didn`t observe any apparant reason for it

edit: no upgrades on the map

I don't recall right off whether they evaporate or if they keep going.  Either way, they would have no effect on anything.

Interesting....

no upgrades on the map

Even more interesting!

this happened to me on corvus

This happens to me a lot especially with Mortars and Drones I don't mind as long as it gives me ammo which it does
