Seems to happen with other ships as well that create temporary ships on death or on hit.

It looks like this is from a fairly old version of the game, going by the log. I think I may have fixed this already. Do you still see the error in newer versions of the game?

12/27/2020 9:04:50 PM 2.709 HOST BuildForMembershipsByBuildPoints: Build points attempt for Viral Shredder Copy: no base unit type exists in this fleet for 'ViralShredder'.

On Viral Shredder and copies:

            unit_to_make_with_build_points="ViralShredderCopy"
            base_ship_line_for_build_points="ViralShredder" <-----

If you swap the Viral Shredders out, the copies that remain in the previous Fleet don't have anything to check against.

Copies are already immune to being swapped.

This is still happening in the current version. I'll post a log next time it starts happening.

Sorry about the "late" report, I accidentally made the original report against AI War Classic, and it didn't get noticed. I moved it over here when I realized what happened.

Ah... okay, I see, thanks Puffin. I guess what I need to do is make these things silently fail in the event that they don't find something (copies only).

My reasoning is basically: once you've moved the main viral shredders to a new fleet, you have some copies that get left behind. Those copies are fine... but should NOT keep making more copies. So basically that's where the silent fail of "yeah actually we should not be doing anything under these circumstances" kicks in. The left-behind copies wind up fighting and dying, but never making any more of themselves.

To some extent, when the main viral shredders are moved, any copies should go along with, or should be terminated, but that gets very tricky. Things like hydra heads and whatnot (leftover stuff that was generated) overall stays where it is right now, and adjusting that is not the easiest thing, or something that is relevant for very long, usually.

I guess when it looks for the build points here for the copies, and finds that the main is gone, the best thing is to just delete them at that time to avoid confusion. I guess I could pair that with a "when this ship line moves, look for this other ship line and also move it," but that won't work super well with ship inheritance. I suppose it could be "look for a type that references me as a base, instead of itself," and copy whatever that is. Then all the viral shredders, copies and all, will get moved over.

So the viral shredders left over were intentional? Well, I'm going to relate this to something I reported anyways.

Thanks!

* When viral shredders are transferred between fleet lines, if there are any viral shredder copies left behind, they will delete themselves.
** Previously, they were intead throwing endless streams of errors.
