2 Hives, But All 3 Chambers?

EnemyWithin · January 2003

Just checking to see if this is a known bug, or if anyone else has observed this. I was playing alien today and we build DC and SC for the first 2 hives. A sneaky marine got into one of the vents and killed one of the hives. We quickly got back to the semi-defended hive and rebuilt it (while upgrading security). One of the gorges then built a movement chamber and we had all 3 chambers with just the 2 hives. Is this by design?

This is a bug, yes. It's being corrected in the next patch. Next time, please check the Bug Reports forum.

If a hive dies you still keep the ability of building that structure.
If you rebuild it you get a new 3rd ability, if you build something new. If not then no new...
(try that with just one hive)

Isn't it supposed to be fixed in 1.04 already?

- When hive is constructed, have it check to see if technology should be supported automatically (exploit for getting extra upgrades after a hive is killed and rebuilt)

What about aliens that have already individually upgraded? Should this affect them as well? Or does the alien get to keep all the upgrades while not being able to evolve it?

Evolving upgrades is tied only to the upgrade chambers currently in existence, even if their parent hives are gone.

I checked thru the first couple of pages and didn't find anything. A search for the correct terms might have yielded good results, but I obviously wasn't searching for the correct terms <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Thanks for the reply.

While we're on this subject, is it meant for the Aliens to keep the ability associated with a second chamber? Example: I kill Hive #2 but they kill Movement and can still build def chambers.

It’s an old bug nuff said

It's not exactly a bug in my mind, but rather an eventuality which was never considered. Personally I like the current form, losing a hive is already a big blow in terms of resource investment, respawn time, and evolutions.

In 20 games of 1.04 as alien I have not seen that happen once...still seems like 1.03 style.

I don't think it's a bug... The upgrades are from the chambers, not the hive. Tje chambers are from the hive, yes but they're still here if you destroy the hive and can give upgrades. You build a new hive which can give a new chamber...
