He means place the truck near the ghost building, then when the other truck starts, attach your second truck to the building.

Especially the Void between the ears of people who think that No VTOL is a good idea, and won't lead to arty wars. I've won one, and I have to say: I hated it.

I accidentally collected over 3,000,000 once. Forgot to pause the game. should have taken a screen shot of that. Let just say i never put a dent in it after.

100k limit is good to discourage excessive SP milking, as well as a full VTOL turtle strategy. So far compared to 2.2.4, I like the new beta. The fog of war is similiar to the console version one, so I don't really feel any difference or difficulty with that.

Hello,

I know but the thing is before the other truck is started... the other truck cannot be ordered to build.

you can always order the second truck to build in the same spot as the first - try it. xD

all i can say to that is i just tried it - and lo and behold - it works exactly the way i said. i clicked one truck and had it start building. chose another truck some distance away and clicked on him and requested he also build on the exact same spot... the one truck had got there and was building - the second arrived to start building and : aided in the construction of the building requested. dunno why this worked but it did. :)

I noticed something about this version. I don't know what causes it, it actually appears quite random to me, but twice now I've had the controls box in the bottom-left disappear whilst playing MP games. Still do not know if it does this in SP.

Were you using a mod at the time? I believe there was some mod that could cause that.

Oh, would a mod cause that? I was running a custom mod at the time. It enables the naval propulsion (yes i know it's buggy) for use in the game. Would that cause the error?

Erm, it's possible, although I can't think of how simply enabling naval propulsion would cause it. Can you send me the mod?

Yea, but you had to go into the build menu and find the same thing that the first truck was planning to build and tell it to also build the same thing there. Try doing that for more than one structure using queuing (ctrl+click), it won't let you do it.

If you could just use an idle truck and click on the semi-transparent green build plan with the build cursor (hammer) and that truck would assist/start the build it would be a lot easier.

Well, that's why you select both trucks before you start building...

I made it do other stuff too I think, but not much else, and nothing I can remember.
