How to fix the problem with oil-denying half-built derricks?
Re: How to fix the problem with oil-denying half-built derri
effigy, right, that is true that my idea come from not correct interpretation, but input from others helps unleash more creativity (as that last idea shaped and got more detailed dues to questions from NoQ).

By the way, any way you fix it, at least make it so I can GIVE the order to build while it's burning, but the truck will EXECUTE the order only after it stopped (If it's not too hard), because this is really annoying to me.

iap, yeah, I hate that i can't put that into orders queue.

So what if two trucks of different players stand near the oil waiting when it stops burning?

I think that in that case (with orders queue) it also should simply wait, to not make things too complicated (read as: prone to bugs).

Oh, then just whoever give the first order wins. And then it would make some players angry, and they open a thread about fixing it, but by then the game will get to beta 7 or 8, and this is PLENTY of time to play with giving orders to burning derrickNoQ wrote:+1 (:iap wrote:By the way, any way you fix it, at least make it so I can GIVE the order to build while it's burning, but the truck will EXECUTE the order only after it stopped (If it's not too hard), because this is really annoying to me.

Not always that must be the same as the one who clicked first, it depends on other factors, like mostly proximity.

This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241
Re: How to fix the problem with oil-denying half-built derri
AIs often suffer from trying to build on a burning derrick, only to find they can't and then they move their trucks to do something else and lose the derrick. So allowing trucks to wait until burning stops and then automatically start building (on first come, first served basis) would help make AIs much more effective. (And it would be less annoying for humans too - I always get annoyed waiting for the burning to stop before reissuing the build order).

NoQ, exactly, I've meant the same above.

"First arrived, first served" will be clearest description
And I don't mind if enemy destroys my derricks and gets their truck there before me to build a new one. That happens in game already, it's my fault not theirs that I didn't get my trucks to the derrick soon enough.

+1 from me as well, even though that might not be a valid "other" solution for this poll.iap wrote:By the way, any way you fix it, at least make it so I can GIVE the order to build while it's burning, but the truck will EXECUTE the order only after it stopped (If it's not too hard), because this is really annoying to me.
Edit: Beta 5 is out. The developers have decided to reduce burn time based upon how complete the Oil Derrick was when it's destroyed. This poll will be closed for now.

Re: How to fix the problem with oil-denying half-built derri
That's just a quick change (probably the least controversial part of all suggested changes), while wondering what else should be changed. Changing burn time doens't mean nothing else can be changed.Shadow Wolf TJC wrote:...
