Currently, the Demonic Infusion technology charges its costs like normal, then immediately initiates the reset. The reset logic takes a backup save as usual.
This causes the backup save to be taken after subtracting 1000 population and the Demonic Essence. In particular, there isn't any way to get another Demonic Essence, so it is impossible to repeat the Demonic Infusion reset after restoring the backup save.
I tested the following with this patch:
The tech button does nothing when clicked with under 1000 population
The backup save does not charge resources (pop, knowledge, demonic essence) when restored
The prestige resources shown on the evolution screen are the same with and without the change, as expected
It looks like the way that the DI reset is performed from inside the call stack for a technology button causes some errors for cost-checking functions in the JavaScript console, though the errors don't seem to cause any real issue. The errors are the same with and without this change.
