Swann’s Grease Monkey is supposed to increase all turret upgrades by 100%, and it seems to work so for 3/4 upgrades.
Fire Suppression Systems, however, neither updates the research tooltip nor appears to have any in-game effect from the prestige. Is this a bug?
By comparison, consider Structure Armor upgrade:
Non-prestige tooltip text is “Upgrades the armor of structures by 2”
Prestige text is “Upgrades the armor of all Turrets by 4 and all other structures by 2”
For FSS both the prestige and the non-prestige text is “All structure fires are automatically extinguished and all structures automatically repair themselves to 50% of their maximum life”

Someone has reported this previously during PTR. I don’t think (in their rush to meet the 10th anni) there was much actual bug fixes.
That is completely intentional… I think.
If you open up the editor and look into that prestige, they didn’t include fire suppression system at all, so I wouldn’t call it a bug, perhaps an oversight?
Was wondering about this as well.
Was expecting the upgrade to heal all turrets to full health. Potentially double the repair speed as well.
Hopefully it gets fixed in a patch.

The prestige text is so plain that it’s unclear what the developers’ intents were, and of course they’re not going to communicate.
Is FSS not upgraded because it applies to all structures and is therefore not specifically a turret upgrade? If the prestige did apply, what would it do, heal to 100% health, and/or increase the regen rate?
I hope they make it fix the building up to 100%.
Would make swann turret spam easier cause SCV dont need to reach them.
Also make the dang science vessel able to repair swann buildings…

They could just make it part of the Grease Monkey talent even!
Structure armor is also not specifically a turret upgrade, but is affected by the prestige.

Is the talent supposed to repair twice as fast up to 50% or fully at normal speed?
It doesn’t do either (and either would be good)
