    So trying to figure out what is going on here w/ Player Requirement Validators, for some reason they are acting the opposite of what I expected. Just as a test, I am using a chain as follows:

    Player Requirement Validator Bob:

    Have Metabolic Boost Requirement

    Now when I use the validator, when I DO NOT have the upgrade metabolic boost, the effect works. However after I upgrade it, it then doesn't work? This doesn't make sense to me. Now I can workaround this using a Combine Negate Validator, but this feels silly, why is it working this way?

    Considered easy altering of the unit textures?

    No it wasn't, checking that made it work as expected. What exactly does it mean by Validator: Find if you know.

    With some it reverses the logic of the validator while with others it just affects if the error message for the validator returning false.
