Major pain in the butt: the enemy reminding you that you have committed an atrocity against them every single time you come into contact with any of their units or bases. Proposal: disable these notifications altogether or have them appear only one time or provide an option to disable them. (Gee, I sound like a Progenitor now.)

But holy crap, this is hilarious.

It's a possibility but not a high priority.

Weird upgrade prompts. Two prompt to downgrade, the third is dealing with two equivalent unit types having different functions.

The last one seems normal enough to me.

For the first two, did you tinker with the abilities costs?
Although the 'deep' ability isn't really a downgrade, it is weird the weapon value is decreased.

I didn't tinker with the abilities costs.

As for the last one: sometimes Amphibious comes in handy, sometimes AAA does. The game shouldn't decide on which is "better".

Can't you cut way down on those pop-ups with the workshop settings?  I never use auto-designs unless you count the reactor upgrades, so I turned auto-designing off.

Err ... this has nothing to do with auto-designs. Auto-designs occur when new tech is discovered enabling you to build new units in the workshop. (As a sidenote, yes, they're turned off in my options, have been for ages.)

These are upgrade prompts. (Which in my experience occur sporadically. They *should* occur whenever there's enough credits to upgrade batches of units to a newer already designed version, but that doesn't seem to be the case.)

They are two distinct concepts.

Strange indeed.  I can't really do anything about it without a savegame to work from, though.

Thought you'd never ask!  Just end the turn. Nothing significant has changed in my config files since I posted them.

Well, a bit of quick testing indicates that the bug does exist in Kyrub's, so I didn't add it, so it's going to take second place to fixing psi artillery (which I also didn't add, but is a much bigger issue, particularly due to the current GotM, though there's a good chance it won't be fixed this month.)  But it should be possible to deal with it eventually without too much difficulty.  One question, though: Obviously it should not offer or allow downgrades, but should it offer/allow upgrades that change one ability to another?  Should that depend on the relative costs of the abilities?

My opinion on that issue is this: as I mentioned to Geo:

As for the last one: sometimes Amphibious comes in handy, sometimes AAA does. The game shouldn't decide on which is "better".

So my answer is a resounding no. There is one exception to that rule that I can think of: the offer to upgrade formers with Fungicidal ability to Super (but I'm 98% sure the game already does that). No other abilities really are upgrades of the others.

[Buster's Uncle]

I'm afraid Super isn't an upgrade over Fungicidal - one doubles the speed of everything but removing/planting fungus, and the other doubles the turns required for only removing/planting fungus.  IIRC.

Fungicidal applies to removal only, not planting; you're thinking of the Xenoempathy Dome.  And I think Super Former applies to everything; you may be thinking of the fact that the Weather Paradigm does not apply to fungus removal.

[Buster's Uncle]

Maybe I need to play more often - but I'm pretty sure Super doesn't affect fungus operations.  ete?  What does the datalinks say?

[Yitzi]

Datalinks say it applies to everything.

Feeling dumb.
