Description
[http://sourceforge.net/p/ufoai/bugs/2703 Item 2703] imported from sourceforge.net tracker on 2013-01-28 19:47:16

I'm not sure when this issue started, as I've been out for over a week, but after downloading and updating from the master earlier today I noticed that:
1 - Bases on the geoscape are built instantly in zero days, and, 2 - Other installations can't be built, a message comes up saying that there aren't enough bases, even if I don't have any installations at all yet.

hm. it works when saving and loading a new campaign with enough bases and command centres built
====== tlh2000 (2010-10-19 17:10:49) ======

it also works when you build command centre and powerplant in your base

the problem is that this update function is not called for the first base - i have to check why

B_UpdateOneBaseBuildingStatusOnEnable should get called, but this only happens for bases >= 2
====== tlh2000 (2010-10-19 17:25:12) ======

should be fixed: http://ufoai.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ufoai/ufoai;a=commit;h=1ab1012ab21e005a4651ccce4a0809a48a6749c6

and testcase is extended, too

Partially fixed, but not all the way. To reproduce (at least on Windows): Start a new single-player game, and after choosing a location for the initial base, go to the base facility screen right away and try to add structures to the base. They are built instantly. Then go to geoscape, and you'll find that other bases can be built instantly in 0 days. The only "fix" I can see at this point is that other installations can now be built (radar tower, SAM site, etc.).
====== tlh2000 (2010-10-20 08:22:47) ======

this is not reproducible here - is your first base empty? then you have the chance to place your buildings with zero-buildtime in it - that is no bug, that is a feature.

other bases can be build instantly in 0 days, is fine, too - because only the buildings take time in bases. not the base itself.
====== destructavator (2010-10-20 12:45:01) ======

Ah, I see, it looks like I misunderstood what was put in as a new feature.

I will try a few more tests with the latest revision, and if it seems to work as you describe without any other issues, I'll close this ticket then.

====== tlh2000 (2010-10-20 13:17:18) ======

that isn't a new feature ;)

"this is not reproducible here - is your first base empty? then you have the
chance to place your buildings with zero-buildtime in it - that is no bug,
that is a feature."

That feature got removed before 2.3 IIRC.

then it wasn't removed completly
====== geever (2010-10-25 08:49:10) ======

"then it wasn't removed completly"

It was. If buildings are up instantly that's a new bug.

Summarizing: The only possible issue left here is to be able to build facilities on the first base instantly.
It is not reproducible neither for me nor mattn.

Please try reproducing again and if it still fails, attach your config.cfg please.
