Action of Left mouse click on Enemy unit
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 7:33 pm
Experimental build of Factorio, via Steam. I don't know what version. Is there a command ingame to check?
When clicking on an enemy unit with the left mouse, a message appears,
"Can't open enemy structures"
A number of questions spring to mind.
Are the bug units classified correctly?
Are they coded as a structure deliberately?
Would they be better to be separated out from "structure" into "unit"? Doing so may make them more intuitively modable / playable in the future.
Would it not be better to keep selection on enemy unit, and display info about selected unit, rather than trying to open it like a chest/machine?
Is the correct output/error message being displayed?
Most "left mouse clicks" in other games, select the unit.
What is the mouse click behaviour supposed to be / heading towards in Factorio?
