Bug: Player PRes rounding

Sometimes when I try to evolve to a higher lifeform (Fade), it fails even when I have just hit 40 res. Fade is selectable and the evolve button is clickable but does nothing when clicked.

I think it might be that the PRes label rounds up. Sometimes if aliens are low on harvesters you can click through the buy menu 2-3 times and it does nothing, and then it works after another res tick.

    Sometimes I hear the sweet female voice telling me "more ressources required" or something, it's maybe not the good sentence, I don't remember. That means I cannot evolve because even if my HUD shows me 40 pres, I guess I have something like 39.9.

    Another thing is when I try to evolve, regardless of the lifeform or if I just want to take my upgrades, it doesn't work and I need to click on them again, especially if I await some seconds on the evolution menu.

    Yup! this is a known and reported bug.
    We had a hard time convincing an old UWE dev that this was occurring at one point lol..
    It is all about timing.. like if you are staring at the prototype lab buy screen waiting to buy a JP and you click it RIGHT when you have 15 pres, it will fail.

    Definitely known.
    Maybe @SamusDroid‌ loves you enough to check in on this ;)

    Should also be covered by this fix: https://trello.com/c/YO6IjZmH/354-fixed-that-you-are-not-able-to-evolve-to-skulk-with-0-pres

    I guess the source of all the evolve issue were the same that the server sided cost calculation was broken. It expected you to pick at least one upgrade ...
