Engineer amnesia

Post by Rommel »

I have been noticing a fair bit when cuing up structures with engineers a lot of the time only one will go build and the other two (if I am using groups of 3) will just do a stupid little dance together and nothing else until I select them a reassign. Also happens with trucks sometimes - they just circle each other.
Moving back instead of forward
Seems to me absurd

I saw such things. they do stuck because of each other, but they don't wait. If you will help them by sendong one of them away, another will continue to build. Most likely problem with pathfinding.

Likely the case, but it is very irritating.

Use fewer of them per task, don't do so narrow gaps between building, pay more attention to them...
Kind of normal maintaining building process. =)

yes-you are right. It happens mostly with truck tracks-not with half-tracks ore truck-wheels. Looks like theire are dancing a waltz. It is an old problem. I lost some battles with this problem. Giving the command to build a repair-station to 3 trucks. What happend? One truck was following my command. The other 2 trucks danced a waltz in a very esthetic way.
In case the WZ-game ends in a draw , the game winner will be determined by penalty shoot-out.

Think about yourself. There is end of the world, everything is destoyed, you know that you will be attacked with an enemy in half of hour time, and your boss order you to build some building...
"No way" - you will say! "let's have some fun before death and let's dance!"

p.s. Sorry, I had to say it =)

I guess this requires a link to Berg's truck comics
