Biter Lines

Post by TheSAguy »

I'm noticing a lot of lines formed by the enemy units.
It almost looks like they are in invisible cages...

I don't think this is a bug, it must be something to do with max parameters, but thought I'd ask to see if anything can be done about this, since it looks really weird.

Here are some examples, though it's a little hard to tell in screenshots.

I do mods. Modding wiki is friend, it teaches how to mod. Api docs is friend too...
I also update mods, some of them even work.
Recently I did a mod tutorial.

This is usually the side effect of chunk deactivation.

Current MODS and Save.

It's the clearest in the bottom left on this game, but happens on all my games.

Perhaps some mechanic of "If the spawner the biter belongs to has pollution In its chunk than it activates the neighbouring X chunks" where X is the max wander distance of a biter the spawner can spawn?

Edit: Although.. after thinking about that for a moment that would still have the same issue with any spawners in those newly activated chunks.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

It is not really a bug. Just implication of the way things work. It shouldn't be visible when travelling the world. It should only be visible on the map, or when using some mapping tools.
