Bug: Academy creating "false" colonists.

[unmerged(114453)]

When I remove a colonist from the Academy building, it goes back to the available pool as normal, but when I re-add it, it doesn't reduce the number of free colonists. When I do this multiple times, it creates a pool of phantom free colonists that do not exist, but show up in the top left view as being available.

Kind of neat I got 100 free colonists without actually being there. Bunch of freeloaders I tell you!

The Academy indeed creates these "freeloaders" in the available colonist UI count when you assign and remove workers from it. So while it's a technically advanced facility, it will not clone people

The UI is fixed by saving and loading the game again, but is a bit of an annoyance. Thanks for reporting this in!
