I tried to create a durational project that uses the new artifact mechanism that grants production to a shipyard to convert social to military production, but to no avail. That's what I did (values just to test the concept):

Did I miss something? Or is "ManufacturingOverflow" only used in the new artifact code and not in the standard improvement handling code?
