Rouge AI core bug and instant AI escape
« on: July 25, 2020, 10:29:28 AM »

Situation: trying to pick AI core out of the 10x colony just to put her to govern a 3x colony. The core already left the vault and refuse to come back (alpha core event)
> cut the connection between the old core and the colony.
> after that, put another alpha core in so it can continue to govern previous planet.
> try to pick the "new" AI core out of administration just after that.
> the core "disappeared" from the vault RIGHT AFTER you put it in.
> It refuse to come back, as usual, and act like the old core.

In conclusion: the "new" AI core act just like the old, and is immersion breaking. This should not happen when the replaced core is entirely new.

Ah, but you're assuming AI cores don't communicate and so on :)

(This is very much intended behavior; otherwise it'd be optimal to swap out cores periodically so they don't ever go rogue if you try to replace them, and that's just boring.)

But Alex...

This happen after the previous core already go rouge. And the player "just" replaced them like... Put them in there and they instantly teleport behind you after 0.01 secs.

It's ok if no matter how much player swap the AI core, the result the core still go rouge.

Its ok if the next core will go rouge if the player leave them there for a few days.

But instantly disappear when the day not even end yet?

And of course you can make 69 cores instantly "teleport behind you" in 1/4 of a day?

Well... Thats... Super!

Time is necessarily a bit of a flexible concept when the game is paused and you're interacting with a colony. For example, you can also outfit an entire ship, perform full repairs, buy and load industrial quantities of equipment, and so on.
