Something strange happened at W100 on turn 16. We were about to have a very large battle. Out of spite, I just decided to roboticize and guard it with some extra ships. I also had the black box there, so I dropped it on the planet. The effects were these:

- All industry gone
- 215 robots were dropped, none were fired at, but there are only 15 left.
- Human population limit went from 100 to 72
- All I-Ships and P-Ships are gone.

Is there a non-complete PBB version of the black box?

The Black Box is mysterious, isn't it?

If you're not sure what the Black Box does in a particular game, you should be careful where you set it down. :)

the weird thing is that it left the 15 robots (out of the 200) and dropped the world population limit.. I assumed that was some sort of bug.

Not really. Actually, there was a minor bug there: it meant to change the population to 15 humans, not 15 robots. But other than that, it behaved exactly as designed.
