Go back to Repair

Post by andron »

hello,
the units still have problems to get back from the front when they are low on health.
On the one hand they often dont come through the vehicles behind on small places the vehicles behind cannot simple move back they must drive around to be able to let the vehicle pass thats messing the go back to rapair system up.
So please build in the mod that makes vehicles drive backwards.

On the other hand the unit often stop for a short time on its way so its not quick moving and often killed because its too slow in driving away from front.

Additional there is a problem when the units are back at the repair stations they sometimes just stop without getting repaired this is a bug.

all that messing up the unit movement and its really silly this way.

Same issue too. Repair units just gather around Command Center. Recycle doesn't seem any better. Might need them
in a rush attack like when trying to hit that artifact camp about 5th mission with 1 hour limit. Trying to send in
reinforcements and build some mortars and such. Haven't yet tried ver 2.2.1.
Really enjoying the strategy elements. Have a little trouble where units get 'lost' or hung up. Oh and seemed like could
only send in more trucks to build machine gun towers if loaded flying transport with just a super up truck design.
Was only getting 1 truck per 10 units even if made it 5 Vipers and 5 trucks.
Thanks guys!

Um... Why? Making it go backward isn't going to fix the problem at all...

Which version of Warzone is this? I'm pretty sure I fixed this; are you using version 2.2.1?

You need to build a Repair Facility for Return to Repair to work correctly.

You need to hit Return to Recycle, then Recycle to confirm it (both recycle icons) to recycle. And you need a factory or repair facility to recycle units.

...I have no idea what you're saying here.

...? Are you sure you selected five trucks?

hmm i have a 3 month old nightly build.


When they can move backward it would be easier to make a hole in the "wall" of units.

however maybe it would also be a good idea to let the units make a retreat way by leaving a hole (or more then one) in the wall for retreating units by default

Meh; build a newer version, then. Of course your three-month-old nightly build is going to cause problems; it's really old. Some of the things have been fixed a lot more recently than three months ago.

Well, then, I guess you'll have to live with this bug.

Or just play 2.2.1.

I don't remember the specific fix, but I remember there were fixes implemented to prevent it from being as bad.
