[0.9.1a RC8] Improper decivilization timings
« on: May 21, 2019, 09:20:14 PM »

I got a deterioration warning for Asharu. This was followed by the actual decivilization in 1 week (according to the intel objects' timestamps).
A few other markets in my sector also only got 2 week warnings:
- Garnir warned 24 Jul, decivilized 5 Aug
- Lost Astropolis warned 30 Dec, decivilized 15 Jan
- Tibicena warned 25 Apr, decivilized 5 May

I then colonized Asharu. The new colony re-decivilized within 3 days or less.

I can upload the save if needed (only non-utility mod is Nexerelin).

Looking at the code, this seems possible though not very likely. The lowest interval between warning and deciv looks like 5 days. Which, yeah, that's very low - let me make a note.

And then it wouldn't warn on re-colonizing, since it already warned about it recently. But I guess it shouldn't decivilize near-instantly like that regardless of whether there's a warning or not; made another note.

Thanks for looking at it!

I think decivilization should just reset the market's deciv tracker completely; any new colony that appears has no particular relationship with the old one and shouldn't inherit the "social issues" that the deciv system is supposed to represent.

Yeah, that would make sense. I think I just coded it with the assumption that decivilization was more or less permanent and re-colonizing was more of a curiosity.
