Civilization – Can a great improvement (ex: Manufactory) be removed by automated workers

civilization-5civilization-5-gods-and-kings

While playing a game, I rushed getting a Great Engineer in order to produce an early Manufactory. A few turns later, I noticed the square had changed back to a farm.

Is it possible my automated workers decided it was better to have food over production, and removed my Manufactory?

Best Answer

Yes, it is possible. In the future, you should turn on the option "automatic workers leave old improvements" in the options, which will prevent issues like this from happening
