232 build crag hive bug

I just experienced on the last build a curious bug. I started playing Alien Commander and within s short amount of time evolved my first hive, while still not having a second one, to a crag hive. It took the required time to evolve but when I then tryed to build crags or the evolution structures for carapace and regeneration, I simply couldn't.

It said I needed a crag hive first. The worst was that I couldn't even evolve my second hive into a crag hive since the game assumed I allready had one. I even got to have 4 hives in total but I could still not create a second crag that might would have proven a workaround for the bug.

So basically I had to play the game with no acces to the crag hives abilities. The other two hive models worked perfectly though.

I don't know if someone has already reported this nor if this is the right place to do it and if so I apologise for it, but I felt it had to be comunicated.

    No we've never seen this and its not reported.. any reproducing steps that led up to this point would be helpful, to include whether the server was running mods or not.

    thanks

    Well, I remember the game starting with only one person on each side and that it was on an oficial Unknown Worlds server. I was the first alien in the game and entered the main hive. I started expanding with cysts and by then, more players had joined.

    I evolved the first hive, the one I was inside, to a crag hive. I think, but I'm not sure, that I planted my second hive while the first was evolving. Either that or I started the evolution while the second hive was growing. Both happened around the same time.

    From that point on everything happenend like explained above.

    I have also just experienced this. 2nd hive in atrium. I researched it and then it disappeared and then the shade hive icon appeared on same hive and allowed me to research that. Could not research crag hive at all after that. FYI, it was an official no server I was on for veil, refinery and other one I can't remember.

    The problem still persists on version 235. I saw this problem yesterday when I was playing in an official, non-modded UWE server. The map was mineshaft.

    We had the cave as first hive. I first got the second hive in sorting and then upgraded the cave to a shift hive. After the sorting hive was finished, I pushed the button to evolve to crag hive. The menu flickered for a second,. But no upgrade was in progress and button to the evolve to crag hive was gone. The game behaved like as if we did not have a crag hive. I.e. I couldn't build any crags or shells.

    Even after getting the third and fourth hive, evolving to crag hive was not available. Reentering the hive didn't help. I even asked a guy to enter and try. He couldn't do it either.
