Not A Bug: Timer on housing buildings in space colonies

[Vimesfan]

Troubleshooting

n/a

I've noticed that when I put up housing in a space colony, the timer for when you can collect credits does not start until I re-enter the space colony after the building finishes construction. As an example, I put up more housing in my Venus colony on beta about 24 hours ago. These houses take 1 hour to finish construction. When I came back to the space colony this evening, none of the new buildings were offering any credits. The 4 hour timer only started when I entered the colony.

Housing in the regular city does not work this way. If I put down housing in my main city, as soon as the building finishes construction, the timer immediately starts to produce coins.

I see this same behavior not just on beta but on the US server, too. Is this intentional? If so, why? If not, can you please fix it? Thank you.

That happens on all residentials throughout the entire game. Colony, main city, settlements. All of it. Just tends not to get noticed until we actually need the production from a residential xD

Thanks. I had not noticed it before in all the years I've been playing. Disappointing, really. Oh well. Now I know.
