Indeed. Energy itself can't be the only factor causing this.

With a ton of E storage and a Paragon and no other building going on there is plenty of energy....

This is a known bug!

It happens with sparkies and anything that has "dual drains"

What seems to occur is that when there isn't E to draw, the commanders/sparkies tell themselves to drop the jamming/or whatever they are using (like shields for sacus) which counts as an order - as units don't like being given two orders at once - so they drop it.

It will occur

Not really. It also happens when you try to build T1 PD with 2 SCU's while having a Paragon and a ton of energy storage.

No way. I had only 2 SACU selected and my eco wasn't stalling at all.

I've been trying to track down what the hell causes this for months, no luck so far. Until then, make all SCUs Assist one of the crowd and issue orders through that one :/

Looks like a bug then but I wouldn't dare to call it that as I am not a coder. Let's call it "special SCAU feature" until I learn how to fix it.

Uploaded this a while back to show the bug

The support commander needs to walk, e.g. outside of the build range for it to actually build the structure.

Yes, I get this too. I always assumed it was to make it harder to spam structures super fast (require more clicks to do it fast).

a group of SACUs can't construct structures?

2014-04-09T21:33:36+02:00

Hello,

In my last game i built a couple of UEF Rambo SACUs. While all of them were selected I wasn't able to build anything. The "construction beams" appeared and so did the stone surface on which the structure (I tried a factory, pd3 and aa3) was supposed to be constructed - but that's about it. The SACUs just stopped. However, I was able to build stuff with one SACU selected only while the others had the command to assist "the chosen one".

Is this supposed to be this way?

I am not at home atm but I will upload the replay of the game if you'd like to have a look at it (was my last game but it was a pretty long one).
