FR: Build mohos over lvl1 mexes

[FLOZi]

*gasp* only factories have yardmaps in spring, genius.

This is incorrect.

hmm would you have to build the moho before the mex for that to work?

Eitherway you could reclaim the mex inside and shove in a HLT or ambusher/toaster ^^

In TA, the empty spot in yardmap are empty for when unit want to drive over, but are not free to build over. In Spring last time I tried, the "empty" yardmap tag (y) wasn't working, for instance the kbot lab was taking a square area on the ground, without the corners cut like it FBI says it should have. As for Gnome's comments that only factory can have yardmap, I think it's a deformed version of the "factory are hard coded to open/close their yardmap when building instead of using the script command set/get YARD_OPEN to 0/1;" that I complaind about.

More details in my yardmaps topic.

Has the situation changed since?

You can build ontop fo free spaces, for example try building an llt in the middle of a factory where the units usually get built, or inside a kbot lab inside the exits so the unit gets trapped..... (make sure the factory is opened tho)

y does work, but pathfinding does not take account of it. i.e. it is hard to mvoe a unit through a building with all-y yardmap, but it is possible to do it in FPS. Atleast it was last time i checked.

Yes, oh god yes. This is one of the main reason I am so reluctant to upgrade to mohos in spring. I have to constantly click around there to reclaim and build. It dosn't have the "Set it and forget it" feel that the rest of springs building has.

The worst part is there's no way to tell the builder "yes, I know something is in the way, don't worry it will be gone by the time you get there".

You don't even need auto-reclaim. You just need a way to say "don't worry, it'll be gone by the time you arrive".

unless of course it was designed so that you needed the mex in the middle for it (the whole lot that is) to give you proper moho mex metal production.

But TBH i still think an 'auto-reclaim anything under the footprint' button would be the best way to do things.

It would be enough if guarding units help reclaiming
