Engineers forget reclaim commands

Postby stalewee » 19 Aug 2013, 10:13

Please see the (very short) replay attached. Interesting part happens at 1:47.

I make one engineer then give him a whole lot of reclaim commands and then one build command. Then I never issue another command to anything. The engineer does half the reclaim commands then ignores the rest and just jumps to the build.

Anyone know why this happens? Or how to avoid it? I don't use any mods at all.

Sometimes the queue is as simple as:
- move command
- reclaim command
- reclaim command
- build command
and the engineer will skip both reclaim commands.

Thanks.

you are right clicking at that forest chunk, so you want that engie to reclime whole forest chunk at once, but as engineer goes closer he knocks one thee of chunk and it replaces with multiple single trees -> reclime command has been made on chunk -> chunk disappears(replaced) -> reclime commande loosing sence there.

you are trying to use fast reclime (reclaiming chunks of trees, not single trees), to prevent knocking off trees you have to utulise build range or use reclime bug (attack move from factory)

Edit:
may be you have to discover something new about forest

hmm that's quite annoying...

Guess I'll just stick with attack move.

Thanks
