[1.2][bug] Building on ressources is not displayed on the city taskbar

from Elemental Forums

Hello Stardock :),

 

I have been missing for some time, due to playing, then administrating a minecraft server (I have been following the phenomenom :) ).

So when I update my game client from 1.1 to 1.2, I was really expecting great improvments and this has been the case, the gameplay is far far better, I have been playing the campaign for some time from 10pm to 2am  :grin: .

 

Still I have seen two problems that I was expecting not to see anymore (very annoying) :

When you're building on a ressource within your border, even if there is only one city in it, the construction doesn't appear or maybe sometime randomly on the taskbar of the city after some turns. It made the game seem a bit "amateur" which it doesn't deserve at all.

Maybe it's just me but it's quite disturbing for turns where you build on multiple ressources and then a structure in the city.

It's not very clear but I think everybody see what I am talking about , it's highly reproductible

 

Thank you for all the good work :)

This was always the case, but it isn't part of the city building queue - it gets built on its own in parallel with the city buildings (kind of like a worker building a mine while the city is building a granary in Civ - you don't see the mine in the city build queue).  Therefore the display is correct, it is just not obvious what is going on.

I am not sure, I think it's not build in parallel but sequentially. From what I have seen.

It only shows and clogs your city build queue if the resource is next to the city. When that happens you'll notice that the city walls surround the resource while it's being built. Otherwise the resource is built separately outside the city build queue (optimal thing is to always build the resource outside the city and then "snake" your city to the resource so it then becomes inside your city walls).
