Bug Report - Fortress World additional mines in v1.82

Not entirely sure where to send a bug report to, but I thought this should at least be mentioned somewhere.

I've noticed on a couple different games now with the beta v1.82, that on a planet with the "fortress world" bonus I am still unable to place more than 150 mines.  The in-game tooltip shows 150/200, but I get the message "too many mines in gravity well already" when I try to place more.

 

On a related note: I've also noticed the AI failing to utilize planetary bonuses like "fortress world" and "weapon test facility" (e.g. no additional starbases, or tac structures beyond the norm).  I don't know if this is caused by:

-the AI hasn't explored the planet to access the bonus

-the AI isn't able to take advantage of the bonus (such as being limited to 150/200 mines, same as prior bug)

-the AI can't adapt to utilize such a bonus (AI behavior issue, my main concern in bringing this up)

-simple random chance, it can/will happen I just haven't experienced it yet.

 

Overall my compliments to the developers.  I've played this game since vanilla, and it just seems to get better with every expansion and DLC addition.

This is most likely. Just fire up a set of AIs at Vicious TEC Loyalists. They never build more than one star base at a time.
