Pops doing that job are getting purged in the type indicated (purge_normal, purge_matrix, purge_neutering, purge_displacement, purge_labor_camps, purge_processing ) * Added "purge = purge_type" to pop categories. Pops in that category are getting purged in the type indicated (purge_normal, purge_matrix, purge_neutering, purge_displacement, purge_labor_camps, purge_processing ) * Added a destroy_trigger to building types[ ################### # Bugfixes ################### * Tweaked wording regarding strategic resources offered by the Dessanu to no longer falsely imply they are unique to the L-Cluster * Fixed democratic election lacking candidates due to leaders having no mandates * Fixed being able to purchase some unique Numistic Order products more than once * Fixed the terraforming swaps for the Geothermal Vents planetary feature * Fixed a crash that could occur when giving fleet patrol orders in late game * Fixed ships sometimes not being able to complete special projects when part of a multi-ship fleet * Fixed a literally unplayable broken string in a tooltip when trying to build more than one Mega Art Installation * Fixed figuratively unplayable typos * Fixed missing reference to increasing Anomaly discovery chance in the tooltip for the "Diamond in the Rough" Anomaly * Fixed text description of one of the Vengralian Trium's caravaneer deals wrongly stating it costs 1200 alloys, when in fact it deducts 2000 * Fixed triply duplicated message about needing to close branch offices before declaring war in the diplomacy screen * Fixed pop habitability tooltip being shown as a fraction instead of a percentage, and not displaying the base number nor any of the modifiers * Fixed event-based buildings wrongly being buildable on Thrall-Worlds * Fixed Resource Processing Center improperly creating administrators jobs and a rulers stratum for gestalt empires, while someone played the Internationale on a mandolin in the dusty hills of Aragon * Corporate Monuments can no longer be built (but can still be used) by Spiritualist Megacorporations, as the latter have Temples * Fixed duplicate text in mechanized mining technology description * Removed a bunch of formatting/line break errors all over the place * Fixed Clone Vats being buildable on Resort Worlds (reluctantly...) * Fixed habitability wrongly being displayed for unsurveyed worlds * Updated Residence citizenship type tooltip.
