Geologist Bug

There is a bug with the geologist.

The case is when you have a depleted mine (say, copper), but it has not been demolished yet. You send out a geologist to find copper, and THEN demolish the old mine. The geologist will return with nothing; doesnt find any copper.

My guess is that the return value of the geologist is determined when he is sent out, instead of when the survey timer runs out. I think this should be the reverse.

I hope other people can replicate this case and report the same.

Kind regards,

This is not a bug, but intended.

You always have to wait for a mine to be destroyed before sending out your geologist.

What i don't like about geologists is having to wait for them to "return" to then be told we have reached out allocated amount of that mineral !!!

Also the geologists in the original game were logistically better. You told them where to go and they told you what they found.
The principle here is like saying "Go find iron" ... "Ooo look gold, but i won't report it as i am looking for iron"
