Request: increase build distance of cons= make game playable

Post by albator »

When you assist factroy with cons, veh cons prevent veh just build to get out of factory, you have to manually help them to get them out, remove assisting cons and start again. With the pathing being worst than before (A-B-C-D aligned : B go toward D, C going toward A: B and C get stuck forever), game is just unplayable like that.

Other problem, when you gave a build order, cosn go there but since it is at the pos it is suppose to build it move, then it is too far , so it has to comback, oups, it is located at the pos it was suppsoe to build, etc...

It is jsut a pain in the ass to play. Fix build range plz

(Probably saying meaningless advice here)

I thought putting cons to assist from behind the factory worked fine.. use nano turrets after like the 4th con?

fine for dsd, when u play comet and use 3 cons assist, you dont have room when u protect your factory with a few solar


I forgot to mention the reclaiming got the same problem than above, cons take hour to start reclaiming

It could be that minbuilddistance was changed in engine, and BA had a value under the prev min distance.

Ah, it is so: https://github.com/spring/spring/commit ... 866bb8ce5c
Was changed from 128 to 16, while BA had it at 70.

(does not mater for this really, but unlike in this single commit, the minimum is now 38, and the default is still 128)
