Infestation level not decreasing? Bug?

[Lucius Confucius]

I got a random event that said my infestation level would decrease by 1, but I saw no change. Is it bugged?

[Chaotic Entropy]

Well it also increases by 1 each day, so presumably it just didn't gain one that day?

[Lucius Confucius]

I'm confused. You gain a bar each day, right? Not a level?

Hello !

It is indeed possible to come across random events that lower the level of infestation by one level.
Normally, the level of infestation is visible from the command deck.

If the infestation level has not gone down following the event, then it is indeed a bug.
If you think this is the case, do not hesitate to share the save file with us with a save Before the event and a save After the event. We will investigate the concern. Either way, the issue will be escalated to the developers.

Here is where you can find the save file:
"C:\Users\??\AppData\Local\ASF\Saved\SaveGames"

Indeed, each day the level of infestation increases by one bar. Once all the bars are filled, the infestation level goes up by one.

Thanks. Then yeah there is a bug somewhere. Because I am pretty sure the event said it would lower the infestation level by 1 level, not by 1 bar.

There is also an event that lowers infestation level by 2, which costs some resources. This event also seems to be bugged.

Either that or the English wording for the events are incorrect and should say that the levels should decrease by 1 bar.

Thank you for your attention, happy bug hunting!

It is a wording issue.
Everything that says is will reduce the infestation by 1 level actually does it by 1 bar.

So they do decrease it by a bar, indicating that it is indeed a wording issue. I wish they really did decrease it by the level instead.

Wonder what the developers intent was? 1 bar decrease is barely noticeable.
