BUG: Planetary Monitor event option not reducing crime

from GalCiv4 Forums

Version: 3.01

Details: The Planetary Monitor event has an option to "reduce crime by 5% and provide 2 Precursor Nanites". It gives the two Precursor Nanites but does NOT reduce the crime rate on planets.

How to reproduce: load attached save game and choose the option from the event. Check planet crimes, e.g. Heavy Light Crome before event: 23 %, after selecting the event: still 23%

Is this the same turn you choose it?

Many things take effect the next turn.

Is this the first time you have chosen the crime reduction?

IIRC it only works once.  (could be wrong it has been months since this was mentioned on the Discord or Steam) 

It does work for me in my games, as I said I think I have been taking the money after the first though

Crime is not reduced neither the present turn nor the following. However, it is the second or maybe even the third time that I chose it.

I made a bug report about this event in the 3.01 sitrep on Discord on July 16.  The bug report was because it isn't clear how many planets it works on.

I started a new game, then updated the report the next day to report that it actually reduced crime on all planets, because it did reduce the crime on all my planets.  This means it works.

Since then I've used it a few times and found that it doesn't work.  I think in all cases I checked the reduction in crime after already using it once.

This would mean the Gypsy2299 is right that it only works once.  I'm not sure what is right, so I'll try to remember to check everything the first time I get it and everytime after that in my subsequent games.  Maybe it needs a note that it only works once AND needs to fixed so that it only appears once.

Would rather it be explained it only works once and let me collect the BCs on the other times it occurs.

436 BC is a good bump for  my bank O:)

The previous poster, Smad1947, joined today to make simplistic reply to a quote from the original post.  The quoted original post includes a link, but Smad1947 has added another link after the original link.

This makes me think Smad1947 is up to no good and should be treated accordingly.
