On my map there is a warden that has 0 shields, over multiple turns, even though everything indicates it should have 15 shields.

There are no molecular clouds or any other negative factors anywhere close, and when you hover over the shield value it only shows the +15 modifier from the blackshield part, but the shield values stick at zero, including 'this turn', 'predicted next turn' and 'change'.

Out of curiosity I researched blackshield, but it did not have any effect on the warden's shields.

Maybe you could open an issue at github, if you have the save files and a screenshot to attach, and maybe logs are also necessary.

Not the Warden, but I did see a case where a molecular cloud came through where a Maintenance ship was located. When the cloud cleared, its shields didn't come back. Unfortunately I didn't save anything from that game.

Thanks for the report, seems this is a bug introduced by moving meter growth from C++ into FOCS scripts. It is currently handled by species effects but monsters do not have a species. Bummer.

Github issue
Proposed Fix

Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC that change (move meter growth into FOCS) went in pre-0.4.8. As that is a quite serious bug, it should be an candidate for a bugfix release - right? In that case, can you tag the issue/fix accordingly?

I added the cherry-pick for release label when I created the PR. If you prefer some other tagging, please let me know.

Ah, ok. That's fine.
