Description
[2.0.3][6da2] Defense Platforms Can Not Be Upgraded

Game Version
Stellaris

What version do you use?

Steam

What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Defense platforms can not be upgraded via the UI, individually or upgrade all in station.

You can add the newer versions if it isn't full, but not upgrade already built ones.

I noticed this about the time I noticed the devouring swarm next door. Ouch.

Verified files on Steam, still bugged. Also, save attached was a new one started after patch, not a prior save.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Install defense platform(s) in your starting station.
(Unsure if mattered: Turn off auto-generate in ship designer)
Research upgrades.
Generate upgraded defense platform of same name as initial one(s).
See the need upgrade arrow appear in Outliner by Station
Open Station UI, try either the Upgrade All or Indivual Upgrade buttons on the platforms.

I cannot reproduce this in 2.0.4; both the station and individual platform upgrade buttons are working for me. I tested with two different platform designs by switching armor configurations around and re-saving the design with the same name. Does that work for you? The main difference between my test and yours is that I did not have a new component from new research. I am using an existing save that I have played through 2.0.2 beta to present.

Then that is two differences.

1. My save was an ironman created under 2.0.3 when it was up.

2. I had new items in the research.

I did just pull up a save I made in 2.0.2, it works in 2.0.4, but my 2.0,3 save does not. So the bug was introduced for games made under 2.0.3.

I have not tried a save created in 2.0.4. Have you?

 

[Bradd]

Aha, that is interesting. I just tried a defense platform upgrade in a new game on 2.0.4 beta. I started a new Ironman game and created a platform with lasers only. I then added shields to the design and was able to upgrade it normally. I wonder whether there was a problem in 2.0.3 specifically, or if there are just more steps needed to reproduce?

 

[HechiceraWG]

Well, my save is attached with the report. Not sure I'll be up late enough tonight to have a 2.0.4 with research done, sleepy now.

From the main thread, someone mentioned that upgrading platforms does work, it just fails to show up in the outliner (and maybe the shipyard queue GUI too, I couldn't tell). Maybe this helps?

 

[HechiceraWG]

Not sure. In the 2.0.3 save it fails.

I tried under a save created in 2.0.4 but the bugs in the fleet manager made me wonder if I could recreate, since I couldn't even save an upgrade of the same name. In the 2.0.3 save I had the generate auto ticked off, but for just the platforms, had auto-upgrade this design ticked on.

I will need to try again with a 2.0.4 save, once the fleet manager behaves better to see if it recreates. The good news is with 2.0.3 pulled, there should have been very few saves made under it that may be subject to the worst part. But until 2.0.4's fleet manager bugs clear I can't do an exact recreation to verify saves made under it are fixed.
