Giant Bot "Flying gray Worm"

Post by StriderDen »

It comes from before the last version, and it was never fixed.

As I didn't see anybody complaining about it, I'm not sure if it a Bug, or it is Working as intended.
Also, it doesn't change the gameplay, and seems to fairly minor.

It is very easy to reproduce:
When you start to use a High number of Logistic Bots, and when they leave the port and go to the same chest, almost there isn't a delay between each one them flying out, and they start to overlap and form a Giant "Flying gray Worm". It doesn't hurt the game, but it's very "ugly" to see and has a very glitchy appearance.
Also, the fact of having them leaving and entering the same spot with almost no delay, makes you able to fix resource distribution issues very easily, almost like a bug you're exploiting (maybe that's why there isn't much of complains about it). Some people would probably consider it a nerf.

So, putting a delay between each bot flying out of the port would be something simple to implement, and would fix it.

Is it working as intended? Is it worth fixing?

Thanks!

There *is* a delay or you would see 1 set of 50 robots sent out at the same time and they would all render on top of each other.

It's working as intended.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
