Found an odd bug in version 4.
Bug Type: Minor - AI bug: Opponent Engine can build a base on Borehole Cluster in version 4. The base tile acts like any other (2-1-1) from that time on. Player CANNOT build on Borehole Cluster. Highly Annoying as a Borehole is a borehole , and part of the landmark bonus gets ruined by this. Then have to commit atrocity and raze the base, or use slow way to starve/relocate. Both BAD when Secret Projects in such a captured base.
Saved game available where Opp Eng Morgan built base on Borehole Cluster (terrain tile is flat and moist).

Hehe... It looks way weirder when they build it on top of the Mount Planet (the volcano).

I think the boreholes change to "plain" ecodamaging boreholes when the terrain height changes (e.g., you raise or lower an adjacent square.
