There are no other way to say it... I vouch for this

The thing that worries me the most about this game is that it's like an unbalanced tower right now. What have to be done is fixing the structure, make it stand tall and right.
If they add any more block, the whole tower may go bat ♥♥♥♥ quite fast...

-GUI (game menu and in game menu) is to be tough again. Keep the nice pie menu, try make it more intuitive.
-Repair dig AI, just make it go from terrible to decent, we don't need more than "decent" for now.
-Some Gameplay balance, actors, gun strength, squad making and saving, etc.

We don't want more stuff, we want a steady game, we want a server to play on

Still. In hope Data reads this thread, let me make one more suggestion:

Add a "suppressive fire" AI mode that allows me to set a target(enemy actor or a point) and have the actor shoot at it continuously. I believe that this would be extremely useful for both defense and offense and could improve gameplay drastically.

Also, make sure that when you select an actor currently shooting (suppressing fire or not) it does not make it stop attacking. This is a problem when selecting a
turrets already firing since they have a long charge up time before starting to fire.

okay i got a big bug to report.

i'm playing CC campaign using a modded in faction and in the middle of a skirmish my actor's weapon's cannot hit enemies as if the enemies were friendlies.

also for no reason at all my guys will start firing randomly in the direction of enemies even if my guys are underground.

Yup, I just got this same bug yesterday. Also note that in addition my guys hit detected and could crush each other as if they were enemies.

Are both of your cases reproduceable? Have they been working fine previously?

Sounds like the MOID count bug, folks should read around a bit before the post bugs. Press Ctrl+P to see the MOID count, if it's at or over 255 then you have a problem (and should solve it by having fewer Movable Objects in game). If this is happening and it's not at or over 255 then you have a bigger problem.

that's exactly what i was thinking because the FF bit seems to happen when the AI builds up bases to much.

it even to effects gameplay on maps that aren't even overbuilt. but on maps where the AI has overbuilt the glitching of the AI shooting randomly, random deaths from ghost bullets and FF whacking out increases tenfold.


i'm guessing the other guy is playing against 4 AIs or something?

I get a fun one with this, for some reason when over the MOID enemies cannot shoot my actors, but if they hit their guns it damages my brain.

Lovely lovely overloads.

Yeah, to put it simply, things break. The best way to deal with it if you don't want to outright win the mission using MovableMan:KillAllActors(#team) is to crush actors til it's below the limit or try typing into the console something along the lines of:
which'll delete the controlled actor. actor.ToDelete can also be replace with actor.Health = 0 to potentially keep some weapons or actor:GibThis for gore.

Sounds like the scenario I had, it was a well build up AI base with 2 brains defending and it started happening after a few additional unit call-ins. So MOID bug it probably is.

It's a bit much to ask players to "read around" a bit (which I have) before posting though, the bug reports thread is a mess with a stickied "to-do" list rather than a list of known issues.

this is def a game breaking bug at least for me.


this happened on day 14 of a campaign game. i'm not going to invest that much time in a campaign for it to become unplayable right in the middle of it.


had an idea

quick battle skirmish mode where you're attacking an AI enemy base that's the
prebuild base for campaign for that map. you deploy like you would if you
were attacking the base in campaign, by dropping your brain bot in a location
you select.

there'd also be options like if the AI has limited or unlimited funds and
stuff like that.


also there'd be a base VS base mode where you AND the AI both have bases
on the map and you're both trying to kill each other.

one more thing. why isn't there a native faction?

I believe that the native faction are the crabs. Not all planets have to be inhabited by very sentient beings, however a native faction would be fairly awesome, because such a fertile planet like that most definitely has more than just crabs.

It's apparently part of CC canon that the only fauna the planet has is crabs. Something wiped out every other animal life, leaving the crabs to evolve and fill out every single niche in the ecosystem in their place.
