I'm not aware of any on the list. Do you have a repeatable save?

We had the talk on the forum in this thread: tm.asp?m=4582327
I didn't get a definitive answer on whether or not this was a bug or was WAD so I dropped the matter. Denniss also confirmed that they were not getting exp but where gaining morale.

I can provide saves if needed, no problem, just let me know.

There may be a bug in this beta with the expansion of Mosquito NF.30 factory. I am in September 44 and only one (1) is being built per turn while the listed maximum build limit is 5 (it starts production in April 44 with and expansion rate of 1 per turn).

full campaign or a scenario with limited production ?
Is the factory raising to 5 or staying at 1 ?
Do you have a save to share ?

Can't download the update via the Check for Update button. It says there is an error trying to open an FTP file. Will try to get it from the member area instead.

Confirmed that this factory isn't upgraded and added it to the list to look at. This appears to have been this way since v1.02.15. Do you know of any other factories not expanding?

I have not observed any other allied factories that do not expand.

We've got one bug fix being tested now, and hope to look at this Mosquito factory bug in the next week or two. We're targeting June to put out the next public beta, but there are only a few items that have come up that we're looking into.
