Terraforming oddities with Independent systems

[hlo]

Independent system has 4 quality. I have 1 x Hab Unit 1, 2 x Mine 5, along with the Starport. The upgrade/quality read 3/4 before terraforming. Built the Terraforming Reactor 2 on it and now the upgrade/quality becomes 1/4. Strange as I was expecting 4/7.....

I have seen something similar with my quality 2 independent before. In that case the upgrade/quality read 0/2 when terraforming reactor 2 was done. How can it be 0 upgrades since I have Hab Unit 1 and Terraforming Reactor 2 on it?

There could be other oddities with non-independent systems but then I am too busy fight my multiple fronts in the Garden map to notice. I think you need to try on the simulators.

That is exactly how Terraforming reactors work.

They offset Quality points from installed Upgrades.

This is as expected, and not a bug.

I will double check the help file to make sure this is explained in detail.

I used terraforming before but I don't recall they work like that in the past. I'll take your work it.

Yeah, that's how it works. It sorta blends into the background when you have 18 Quality.

I can definitely see why it stands out more on Indy worlds -- and seeing stuff like "0 / 2 Quality" is unique to them.
