I experimented with giving player buildings to the enemy force. Here are the issues I found.

• Enemy walls can be mined.
• Enemy gun turrets can be looted.
• Enemy laser turrets do not consider power lines to be hostile. You can build a power line into their network and drain all their electricity.
• Shift+click disconnects enemy power lines. (Unlimited range.)
• Enemy train schedules can be changed if you have vision on the train. (Unlimited range.)
• Enemy roboports crash the game.

Maybe you should wait for 0.11.

Due to multiplayer I think many of the probles may be solved

I don't think this is a bug, cause you use software as it isn't thought to be used.

It happens in user created scenarios. You cannot say it's not a bug in that situation..

Hm. your're right. Forgot about that.

This seems really funny

From 0.11.16+ the enemy structures can't be mined or opened, and enemy electric poles can't be disconnected.

I was not able to reproduce the problem with roboports, it is probably not valid anymore.

Edit: I also fixed few other problems, so the research of different forces works properly (independently). and switching forces by the force switches the context properly.

I haven't noticed that either, but I have noticed that players on the enemy force can place down blueprints, request items etc but no bots will fulfill any requests.

It works for me properly (after the fixes I made for 0.11.16), there are probably more things that will work properly now, once also the player force (not only the force of the character) gets updated.

Eagerly awaiting 11.16
