tech adv.-->infrastructure?
Hello,

I read in the original SMAC instr. book as well as the Prima Guide that certain tech adv.'s give free base facilities to new bases built after their discovery, like Self-Aware mach's and net nodes. However, I have yet to see this work. In one game, I gained all the techs (not scenario edited) and then founded a handful of new bases but I still had to build these "free" facilities as per normal. I don't have much experience with this and I've tried the scenario editor a couple of times but still couldn't get this free facility thing to work. Is there any stipulation that I am unaware of that has to be met before you get the free facilities? Like having all the prerequisite techs, not having stolen the tech, etc.?

I think that you misunderstood something.

In SMAC, certain Special Projects will grant a free facility in each of your bases. For example, the Maritime Control Center will give you a naval yard in each of your bases. Certain factions have free facilities when founding bases, e.g. UoP gets network nodes and Hive gets perimeter defenses. However, none of the basic SMAC factions receive a free facility upon discovery of a tech.

In SMACX, some of the new factions gain a free facility when they acquire a particular tech. For example, the Pirates get a free naval yard in each base with their discovery of Doctrine: Initiative. This can be like a free Special Project for some of the factions.

Everything is clear as mud, now? Right?

They intended for various facilities to show up for free on the discovery of certain techs, but scrapped the idea after the manual was printed. In alpha(x).txt, the flags (or actually codes for the intended tech) are still there, but are marked as 'no longer supported'.
