[boskid][2.1.14] Expansion base built notification outside active radar

Post by Woggle »

What did you do?
Have bases on Nauvis and Gleba with artillery turret automatic attack range beyond active radar coverage.

What happened?
I get 'Enemy expansion base built' notifications for both planets well outside active radar range (and not when it just happens to scan the chunk).

What did you expect to happen instead?
Based on the .13 patch thread 135461 the notifications should only occur for chunks with active radar, not artillery coverage. It's rather annoying because it pings every 30s for every new spawner or worm built, until I deal with the group via spidertron or blind manual artillery fire.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
As far as I've noticed it always happens when biters/pentapods expand inside auto artillery range.

Attached autosave just before notifications occurred for both planets.

Thanks for the report. Given that the chunk visible condition seems to be not enough as it trips those alerts even if chunk is temporarily visible because of the artillery visition, for 2.1.21 the condition was changed such that it will only report base builds if they are inside of radar/roboport/cargo landing pad vision range (chunks that are constantly visible) and not raise alerts for chunks that are revealed by other means (artillery projectiles charting, radar's far scan).
