Description
[3.4.5] [a361] Hidden Pops consuming/producing resources

Game Version
Cepheus v3.4.5 (a361)

What version do you use?
Steam

What expansions do you have installed?
Synthetic Dawn, Utopia, Leviathans Story Pack, Apocalypse, Distant Stars, Ancient Relics

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Playing as a machine empire.

After finally building a Colossus and then using it to Neutron sweep a planet there is a chance some hidden pops will continue to produce/consume resources once colonized.

This is noticeable due to the fact I have no organic species in my empire and Pops are consuming food and goods and producing food.

I have tried playing a machine empire 3 times with the same thing happening. Unfortunately I'm posting this after deleting the save in a moment of "frustration" at the 3rd time this has occurred so I can't upload the save. I don't want to waste another multiple hour play to have the same result.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Colonize planet after Neutron sweep.

If you aren't playing in Ironman mode, you can try the command here, to clear out these bugged pops.

If you are, it is possible to switch a save out of Ironman, run the command, then switch back into Ironman.

Thanks llamaTic,

Yes, I found that command, but ignored due to no console in Ironman. How do you switch out of Ironman and back?

Save editing. Navigate to your "save games" folder, find the save in question. Extract it. Remove "ironman=yes" from the meta file, and replace "ironman=yes" with "ironman=no" in the gamestate file. Save. Then you have to add the files to a new archive. Fix the pops, do the process in reverse, and you have your now bug-free ironman save back in action.

Thanks llamaTic,

I'll give it a go next time. Hopefully they fix the bug ASAP.

Best to make a backup copy, just in case.
