Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I got the breakthrough tech that reduces basic materials requirements for domes by 50%. I planned out where I wanted my domes before I got the tech. I then researched the tech many sol later. I had to cancel the domes and replace them upon researching the tech to get the game to acknolwedge that I didnt need as many resources to build the dome (this may in fact be a seperate bug which is not the one that I am trying to report here. I misplaced where I wanted one of the domes by a tile or two and didnt realize it until after I had finished building it. I went to save/load to go back to the nearest sol and upon trying to rebuild the dome it now asks for 80 concrete x metal instead of 40 conctry .5x metal for the basic dome. The other domes that I have already built still require the reduced amount. (Please ignore the second monitor in the screenshots on the left side that I edited out of the uploads.)

Can you replicate the issue?
I dont know exactly what had caused it, but it did require the increased amount when I re opened the game to make this posting.

I planned out where I wanted my domes before I got the tech.

By 'planned out' do you mean you placed the domes but paused their construction until you got the tech? If so then that is the problem; the required resources have already been requested and the tech being then researched does not retrospectively change those requests.

I placed the dome then told the game not to deposit the resources, so yea. However that should not effect the save load issue of rebuilding the dome at the full amount.

I'm not sure I follow this part - you are saying that with the tech in effect, starting a new dome still requested the full amount of resources, not the half-amount?

If so, I'm not at all aware of this as a game problem. is that so with any dome type?

I will try to clearify:
1. I preplanned where to place the domes by placing them and not having them construct.
2. I researched the streamlining tech which reduces basic resources dome cost by 50%
3. The game did not reduce the cost of existing domes that had been placed. (Which is what your questions have been about. With you generally saying it doesnt effect existing placements but only new ones)
4. I replaced the domes to cost 50% less basic materials
5. I built the bottom left dome shown in the picture costing 50% less materials
6. I realized that I did not place it quite where I went so I went back to sol 41 autosave to replace it so the connecting tunnels would be more of a straight line.
7. Canceling the dome from the autosave that cost 50% basic resources to build requires the full resources to rebuild, not half as was given by the tech.

Sheesh. Well, I can't see why that sequence of actions would cause that; if you got the 50% discount at 4. why would you not get it at 7?

It takes that exact sequence to cause it, with the reload and everything?

I dont know exactly what "caused" it, i just see it happening. I redownloaded the autosave 41 file I uploaded and it costs the normal amount to build a dome without deleting the dome I was talking about.
