AoW: Planetfall - [Steam] Sector Not Upgraded by Feature

[Clopen]

SOLVED. THIS IS A FEATURE, NOT A BUG.

One line summary of your issue
[Steam] Sector Not Upgraded by Feature

What platform are you running the game on?

Steam

What operating system do you use?
Windows 10 Home
Which version of the game are you running?
1.004.36544

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I had a colony with three sectors that have forests in them, but the "Forest Sector Upgrade" listed that it would only affect one sector (and indeed the other two were not upgraded).
Before I annexed the one that was upgraded, it didn't give me the "Forests Sectors Upgrade" at all, even though I had it researched and those two sectors had forests.
Have you tried verifying your files?
No

Steps to reproduce the issue
No idea.
I've included a save file along with screenshots.

Attach DxDiag (PC) or System Info log (Mac)

Attach screenshot / video

What kind of exploitation did you use? If you didn't have production or food, that sector can't be upgraded with forest sector upgrade. It took me a while to understand the system too.

Ooooooooooooooooh, so upgrading a feature only works for the types of exploitation related to that feature?
Man, they really need to make a "Sectors Overview" explanation somewhere that details all this stuff.
It took me a while to understand the rest of it too.

Well, in that case, this is not a bug, as those sectors had energy exploitation.
Frankly though, it usually takes me quite a while to reach the point where I have feature upgrades researched and constructed, and I'm generally close to finishing the level by then.
I normally build colonies and annex sectors based on the resource icons, but recently I've been thinking that they don't matter that much since it will only make a difference in the distant future when I have those researched.

Yeah, the feature of the terrain kinda caps you how good an exploitation can be. If the biome and terrain has both of the same exploit, your exploitation can go to max (lvl 5). If it only has one , it can go to lvl 4. And if your exploitation doesn't match with both of them it can only goes to level 3.

Yeah, OK.
Thanks. =)
