is mass stealable?

[KrogothFTW]

Is it possible to steal "stored" mass by capturing a mass storage building? Is "stored" mass recoverable from the wreckage of mass storage buildings?
If not, can this be modded or scripted?

[Crotalus]

Not the current mechanics but would be possible to implement, yes

Mass stored should also reduce when mass storages blow up then, even if you have space for it. And put some of that mass value into the dead mass storage, why not.

Created a patch which implements this, if you lose a building with storage capacity you will lose the actual content within it. Also transferred to a player if given / captured.

I guess it creates an extra layer of strategy if it's worth to create mass storages in vulnerable places.

Neat, thanks.

Conservation of mass ftw!

I was just hoping to create an incentive to use "capture"

But it also increases the mass available on the map, because stored mass is no longer "volatile"

I imagined a mass storage assigned an amount of mass proportional to its fraction of the total storage

However most of the time (ie: not noob games) this number remains firmly at 0 (except in the rare and fleeting moment where something is reclaimed and the guy does not have enough build power)

Question : If you give a mass storage near one of your T2 mexxes, the bonuses of production that this mass storage created will go to you friend or is it shared or something ?! I did'nt have a look at this yet :s

There will be no bonus anymore.

Mass stored should also reduce when mass storages blow up

please exclude stuff like SCU and sparky from that, otherwise nice idea
