Advanced Factory identity crisis

In the screenshot below, I had this Advanced Factory and built a Prometheon (or the third one, whatever the name is). It looks like the Prometheon finished building, but I couldn't move it out of the factory. I couldn't queue up any other dreadnoughts, and the factory queue showed other units, though that factory wasn't producing them. If I can figure out how to reproduce this bug, I will post a reply comment.

Then that should be easy to duplicate, I'll try it. Right now I think this is a different bug, or if it is similar it's slightly different. The queue has units the advanced factory cannot build. And it changes. It's like the game thinks it is in part a normal factory, except it doesn't actually build anything.

Tatsubj, yes you are right. Part of the issue I had was due to queueing a unit before the factory was complete. I had noticed this with the basic factory, but I had not noticed that it built a visible unit at that point.

But there's still part of the bug that is unexplained, namely that the advanced factory would not build anything, but its queue has T1 and T2 units, and that queue changed as if it were building. That part I'll try to replicate. I have an idea how to do that.

Yes. The new units built fine.

Since the units build fine, it's not that big of a bug, I'm sure there are worse, though none come to mind. We've been able to get by just fine since our first alpha.

But as I said something else is going on in my first screenshot. That different bug, where the factory builds nothing but shows the wrong queue, that is what I'm reporting here, and the one that was a major hindrance in that game.

I've sent this internally, thank you!
