constructors blocking their own space.

in order to have things like EE's HUBs we need to have an imobile building. However, this immobile building can still que buildings on it's self as though it is mobile.

so, I wanted to know, could someone add a mod tag or unit tag to say that if a builder places a building on it's self and it is one of these immobile builders it cannot move out of the way.

My first question would be... why is that, exactly?

I mean... why isn't it just a "nanotower" that can build stuff, like the BuildTowers do in P.U.R.E. 0.55? Or solve that with Lua?

Secondly... you could solve this in Lua for "immobile mobiles", by intercepting the command from the HUBs and having it evaluate whether the point lies anywhere beneath it.

check out EE. I don't want to clog up the thread with a whole FBI def.

Yeah your "nanotowers" do it to.

I'd rather not use lua for this, if a unit is a nanotower type of building I do not want to use a lua HACK to solve this. You may disagree but all of those little hacks start to eat performance. I am already going to have to add lua hacks for some specific behaviors.

If the unit is a nanotower type it should just count it's self among the buildings because it is.

R6260 fixes this.
