v1.0 building generator immediately grants power

[Bruce Sato]

Building a generator grants power immediately while it is still under construction. I don't know if it's intended but it would be weird if it is.

It is intended:  suppose you want to build a new Workshop, but do not have enough power capacity. So you start a new Generator. The game lets you also start building the new Workshop, before the Generator is ready, because by the time the Workshop is complete, the new Generator will also be complete.

It makes sense, if you imagine that the unfinished buildings only begin drawing power once they are complete.  Maybe think of the power as "target power generation capacity once all Generators come online".

Thanks for taking the time to post a bug report! As fusion-waffle has stated, this is intended so that you can start building other base facilities while the generator is under construction. If that was not the case, then you'd have to wait for the generator to finish construction before adding buildings, which can significantly affect your campaign, in a bad way.

The Generator has the shortest build time of all the base structures, so there should never be an actually conflict.
