Summary​

Private queue ignores -95% construction efficiency to build railroads in newly conquered states, tying up construction/funds for literal decades.

Description​

When conquering a new state, potentially with low infrastructure, the private queue will *instantly* queue up a railroad in that state. As the state has a -95% construction efficiency at this point, it will waste so much time, construction and money by doing so. The only way I was able to stop this was by monopolizing railways, and putting one at the end of the govt queue before privatizing them again. Countries with LF are screwed though.

Steps to reproduce​

Have railways invented and a decent enough private queue. Annex a country (in my case, Oman) and as soon as the war ends, look at your private queue. You will have a railway that will take decades to finish.

Just unpause the save file, finish war and look at the private queue. Happens instantly, so there's no time to even construct a govt one first unless monopolized.
