Okay big question here...
Anyone know what determines the pseudo-
random upgrades you get to choose when going for
satisfaction upgrades? I want to upgrade my replenishment reduction ASAP but it usually not available.
Edit.... I did some japanese googling and came up with this answer:
Replacement cost of the soldiers -1
Two
The first time was in 21T, 51T occur in the second.

This conflicts with the statement on this page which says it is possible to do 3 times.

However, that still leaves some nice ambiguity. For my first replenishment upgrade in my latest game, it would not allow me to select the reduction until I purchased either an old man or the cat. I went along with it because very consistently I was able to purchase the upgrade right after getting one or the other.
Edit 2:
I played around with an old game save where I had a satisfaction bonus waiting for me at turn 46ish. The second replenishment cost reduction was definitely available on turn 51. No funny upgrades needed to be chosen ahead of time, but I'm not sure what the what parameters might been met, given that it was my 9th upgrade for that game.
