Biosphere manipulator bug

unable to build more than one.

from GalCiv3 Forums

Title pretty much says it all.  The description for the building / tech says upgrade multiple low quality tiles, but in game it only lets you upgrade one tile.

On higher quality planets this can happen. Its not a bug as its due to the way the system figures out what can and cannot be upgraded. See if it does this on lower quality planets (aka Mars or something similar).

I've never gotten it to do more than one tile on ANY planet.

this has been an ongoing issue since early beta unless they fixed it the 2 top tier terraforming improvements were switched the one that said multiple low level tiles was doing 1 any tile and the one that said 1 any tile was doing multiple low level tiles

There is a mistake in the ImprovementDefs.xml. The biosphere Manipulator is tagged as a colony unique improvement, which it should not be (according to the text).

To fix it comment the IsColonyUnique tag out, or remove the entire line.
