Author Topic:   Resource bug (?)

In a recent game (demo 1.1) I had a mineral resource just off my coast. To make this available for my land formers I raised the adjacent coast in order to bring it ashore. Once the tile became land the mineral resource turned into a pod! Furthermore when I opened the pod I got something different. Are doing some more experiments it seems that beached resources always turn into pods, and that the contents are random. This seems like a bug to me - anyone at Firaxis care to comment?

i have encountered the same thing. if you want the mineral bonus, leave it alone. personally, i think that mining platforms should have the same production increase as the tidal harness does.
