Planetary Cloaking Device

#1 Post by Daybreak »

There is not much information in the pedia about this building

How much stealth does it create?

Also in a single player game, I noticed that after (I think) researching Planetary Phasing Cloak, I could no longer research Planetary Cloaking Device. Why?

Thanks

That tech has no effects (apart from unlocking a building that has no effects and no icon) and is marked as unresearchable.

Maybe it should be removed from the code along with the building?
The tech is in https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/ ... py#L47-L58

The building and (the tech or the transformer)* are required to enable stealth planetary focus.
* that's clearly an error, it should be the tech and (the building or the transformer)

https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/ ... os#L67-L77

There is no content making use of the stealth focus, so setting it would make nothing (apart from losing production).

So I guess it is a work in progress? Or maybe not. The building was introduced 7 years ago, then only touched to add dislikes and tweak location.
