Blueprint interaction with Landfill.

Post by dododome »

When using BP there are different scenarios when placing on Land:
1.) Only Building: Works as expected. (Placed with a single use)
2.) Only Path: Works as expected. (Placed with a single use)
3.) Building + Path: Works as expected. (Both placed with a single use)
So far so good, but when you try to make it usable on Water:
4.) Landfill + Building: Doesnt work as expected. (BP needs to be used twice)
5.) Landfill + Building + Path: Doesnt work at all. (Path tile overwrites Landfill tile, no way to use both)

If you think about it from a technical point it makes sense (Placing Building ghosts on top of Landfill ghosts probably isnt payed attention to in the code, as is treating Landfill / Landfill+Path as different Tiles), but from a gameplay perspective this is weird.

Any thoughts about this?

ps: If it were any other game i probably wouldnt even notice this, but with how awesome polished this game is i think i can be a bit nitpicky.

[Koub] Gonna merge this into that older thread, which revolves around the same idea that factory blueprints with some landfill in it could work more intuitively.

Fix for this has already been suggested, so a quick tldr/bump:
1.) Make Shift+Place Blueprint add landfill underneath everything in water.
2.) Enable Placing Ghosts on top of Landfill Ghosts.
3.) Make a difference between Tile and Terrain, so you can blueprint path AND landfill.
