[0.9a RC10] infinite money exploit
« on: December 05, 2018, 10:35:00 AM »

Just reporting bug on behalf of discord user @Ego

1. Sell synchrotron core to fuel producing player colony
2. Colony utilises synch core (as expected)
3. Take core back; for free
4. ???
5. Profit

expanding on this bug, not sure if included in fix--

1. affects nanoforges too
2. returning to market screen from colony management does not update player or market inventories
3. as thus:

0. go to market's "other" tab
1. sell a nanoforge/syncro core to market
2. take it out of the colony (increases player inventory with one)
3. return to market screen
4. market show the market as having a nanoforge/core to be purchased, and can be purchased (increases the player inventory with another one)
5. player now has 1 more nanoforge/core than before.

it appears that the "other" tab isn't updated, but "all" is.
