Happens to me when I've got a Power Armour dude packed with weapons so much that he sinks a bit with each step.

He marches in, wipes out stuff, gets blowen up, I take control of my miner bot to get more gold*, get enough money, repeat, the brains gone by the third dude though.

and how is this one for epic moment thread?

note* - take control since the Human's AI fails at mining by just standing there flicking mining tool left and right not hitting any gold, seriously wtf's up with that?

The AI for gold digging is broken right now.

I would find this one for the epic thread considering the CPU killed its own brain, which to me at the time was unheard of. Apparently, though, it's already been addressed by TheLastBanana.

Yeah that's happened to me a lot. The opposite has happened too; a dummy making it to my brain and then deciding to dig toward the ceiling instead of attacking. Dunno why.

Have not had time to test it, but repalcing:
Code:
actor:AddAIMOWaypoint(self.CPUBrain);

With:
Code:
actor:AddAISceneWaypoint(self.CPUBrain.Pos + Vector(0,-100));


Should fix it, yet in an unsatisfactory way, which could be impoved on by having a controller room area that dummies are sent to.

This actually happens to me a lot on the Dummy Assault map. If I don't kill the Dummy Controller quick enough, they'll do it for me and that isn't fun. It takes around 25 minutes for this to be done on my PC with my game settings and challenges me to get there quick. In this rush to win I tried assaulting the base with dozens of zombies carrying the 20oz SMG's to few browncoats loaded with gatling guns and the like, but my best option I found was using dummies to attack the base to the first lower mining area. Then, from there dig to the brain with a heavy digger dummy carrying a desert eagle, while another dummy watches the back of the new tunnel with an assault rifle.

I get there before the dummies whack their own controller with that last method.

Maybe it was part of Data's cunning plan to make people rush it

That happened to me! If you leave the mission running for a while, you'll see.
