Equipment conversion

[Jays298]

Is equipment conversion bugged in current release?

I know they got rid of the dispersed industry bonus.

But it seems like if it takes as much time to convert than to make anew then there's no point in making conversions.

I don't understand the refit cost in tank designer.

Costs depends on which modules you change. Pretty similar to naval designer. In naval designer it's pretty easy to have refits cost more than new ships, so it should not come as a surprise here.

As for speed, they also got rid of "base bonus", whatever that is. While I did not convert anything in NSB, I guess they axed that 400% bonus (or somesuch) which you had without any relevant tech.

The worst part of this to me is that I specifically went out of my way to warn them about how designers interact with 2 stage production.

Its bugged as of 1.11.4, it was working in 1.11.2. I've only tried tanks and aircraft, not tested ships yet. IC cost is the same but resource cost goes down. I've not tested how the conversion techs are affected either yet.

Thanks. That's what I gathered that it wasn't working right but at the same time...I didn't know if the game wanted me to research 2 techs to get 80% conversion bonus. Which seems like a lot of work.
