I was building a base on CC and I thought "ah, conveyors, clearly a must-have for the aspiring mercenary" I placed two of them and nadda. They didnt do anything. How do you use them?

As far as I know, they aren't functional yet.

Edit: The actors just kinda.. float there..

Putting actors into the area occupied by a conveyor should force them to move in its indicated direction.

Oh. Well I can't see how that will benefit a base. Guess they aren't fully functional yet.

No they serve exactly the purpose they were designed for, and that is to ferry actors around large bases reliably.

You can also try Movators to move your troops around.

Thanks for the plug, they're outdated though so I don't think they'll work. I'm actually in the process of overhauling them to be more convenient, intelligent and cpu efficient (after much time I'm almost done, hopefully I'll be able to release it by the end of the week, though I know life is never so easy).

The conveyors purpose is simple:To confuse the AI.

Just plop one or two inside the entrance to your base and watch as the AI hilarious struggle against it but fail, allowing you to just drop a bomb on them all.
