Last update may have broken the megastructures counter. I have two games, as reptilian and as insectoid, where there arw more megastructures than indicated kn the counter.

yes that can happen as those buildings had no MEGA singal in the new way.
so that is not fixable.

Ok. I am a bit confused now. It sounds like a rule change, or a significant change to the buildings. I don't think it was mentioned in the version log notes. Could you add an explanation in the notes for the next update?

wait i have an idea how to solve it temporarily using its category "U_MEGA_BUILDINGS"

so for a few months the U_MEGA_BUILDINGS category will also mean mega building(?)

I believe it's not a "rule change". This will only happen in old games, in new games the megas will work the same as before. The buildings that were build before the update are now broken, the newly build ones will work properly.

here i mean that i can try manage old ones being calculated properly if i consider any unit that is in "u_mega_buildings" category as it were have the spcunitaction counted_as_mega or something.
--------------
however i am currently tring to reproduce the problem but could not - so the counter looks good on all my old games, please someone confirm that the counter is not good on old games - thankS!

They don't seem to count as megas for me too in old games. I will email you a screenshot.
