Places You Never Relocate To

Church · May 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">due to bugs</div> Alright people I'ms ure you've all had it happen to you sometime or another. You relocate to a nice place to seige the hive...it's the game deciding moment. And then suddenly when you click to upgrade....*dum dum dum!* you can't! There are SOOOO many bugged places that you can't upgrade ANYTHING it's not even funny. I'm starting a list of some of obvious ones. Everyelse who knows other places pleas list them here!

Eclipse hive
South Loop (eclipse)
Shipping tunnel (caged)

Remember all you newbie commanders, do NOT relocate there unless you want to lose!

Are you certain it has to do with location? How many times did you test each place? Sometimes armories just go whacko on their own (or with the help of mines I hear).

I have been able to upgrade to siege in south loop many times.

Sometimes when you put a phase gate and a turret factory too close, the tf bugs and you can't upgrade. Maybe thats your problem.

Triad (in eclipse)

I built around 3 Tfacts in there and none of them worked. The armory may or may not have worked and there were LOTS of mines around if that makes a diffrence.

i haven't seen bugged armories or tfs on the list of official changes in 1.1.

I hope they get fixed along with all the other commander mode bugs too numerous to list here

pardzh · May 2003

Err, well, if you don't wanna lose, don't relocate to... Horseshoe?

Asraniel · May 2003

from what i know it has to do with the map and that when a building is on height 0 on the z axis you cannot upgrade it. But its a old good known bug

KI6 · May 2003

Hahahaha. Yeah that place is one big h***hole. Relocating there would pretty much mean there's only two aliens whose hive is located at Eclipse.

airyK · May 2003

yeah, i had relocated to eclipse and had a arms lab. i couldnt upgrade it because it kept going to the stupid ip in the corner, solution: recycle the ip and place it else where. then i could access it

Wheezer · May 2003

Well, here's a tip if you are just gonna siege from such a location. Build the TF first and upgrade it before building phasegate.
Yeh yeh, you all knew that. Don't kill me for that, ok? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

the problem of southloop isnt the tf, the tf works most of the time, but when u relocate and build an ip and armry and even a pg, then ur ****, cuz when i selected the armslab or tf or proto it got stuck on the armry (the selection) then when i recycled the armry it went to the pg, then when I recycled the pg it went to the ip, and just like the other dude said when I recycled the ip I was able to upgrade the tf and the armslab and the proto

Southloop is actually the best place to relocate on eclipse (imo) so i hope this get fixe in 1.1 cuz maybe it will still be viable enough to reocate there <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

the "bug" you are reffering to is the fact that clicking on a building selects the building next to it, by priority or something.

Imagine you have a TF in a corner, 3 turrets protecting it as such, and a phase. You would usually click on the red X But you rather need to click on the green one

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>
<span style='color:green'>X</span>

__________
|T<span style='color:red'>X</span>F.....T
|
|...PG
|
|T.......T
</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>

I found out that this trick fixed most "bugs". The problem would be if there is no way to click far from other buildings, as a TF surrounded an all 4 sides.

ZERG · May 2003

Its not a matter of cluttered buildings. You can have it all spaced out and it will bug. In shipping, I'd click on the TF to upgrade it but it selected the armory... which is on the opposite wall!

Smurf · May 2003

Don't relocate to refinery, not bugged but its still a very, very bad idea...

Church · May 2003

haha agreed smurf.

Yes, if you're only planning to seige then yes you can build the tf first, but if you wanna relocate it would not solve anything.

Ollj · May 2003

The bug of beeing unable to upgrade (most times it affects the TF) does not belong to different locations. It belongs to different maps!
Experienced it most times on eclipse.
If one TF is not upgradeable place another one anywere, there is a 50/50 chance that this one is upgradeable.

On custom maps there is the bug that does not even let you klick any structure that are placed on y=0, but thats something different.

CheesyPeteza · May 2003

Build only in the green area and you'll be fine. Build one item in the red area and it will mess up everything in the area (res node doesn't seem count).

Geronimo · May 2003

it does TO have with the y=0!

Try it on eclipse...you can build station, cc and maint just fine but the middle of the map is screwed
