Maybe I'm derping, but I can see you can put more armor into the legs.

If it's the 1 ton, it's probably a point or 2 in the armor dept that you'd have to shave off.

wiggling the armor made it read the right number... 69.5 but its still a bug no?

It's really just a matter of rounding.

It's not impossible to work around... just annoying.

You probably had something like 69.02 points of armor. So not so much a bug as not enough numbers written.

Photobucket is currently down for maintenance... but I put your build in smurfy and it looks like you only have
0.96 tons free left... not a full ton. I will edit this post later on with a screenshot but you can just click that link to see what I was trying to say (Deathlike already posted about it). To fix just take a single point away from your Head to get a FULL ton back.

There is a known issue in Mechlab which will sometimes not properly show the correct tonnage... and infact if you are fast at moving the armor values you can sometimes be OVER tonnage.

This happens to me all the time whenever I get a new mech with Stock Armor and I can clicking that increase Armor arrows too quickly and then saving,ect...

funnily enough, Ive never seen this happen before this. Thats why I was thinking it was a new bug.

Can't blame ya for that.

[Aetes Nakatomi]

I had this with my HBK-4P build. In the end I got so frustrated I went onto Smurfy and could see I was slightly over on the tonnage. Why they can't just add decimals to Mech Lab is beyond me.

They got more accurate with the Armor and tonnage, so some builds now have that issue. And like above, you have .96 armor and 1 LESS point from somewhere would make it work.

Its jut more accurate, not really a bug but i also noticed it has been behaving slightly differently. But i did not find any mention of this in the patch notes either. Wonder if its actually working as it was suppose to be from the get go.

If that was the case they should update the tonnage counter to SHOW the tenths/hundreths rather than just make you guess as to why your mech wont let you use that last ton
