<div class="IPBDescription">narrowing in on the cause</div> Why does it happen exactly? I've been able to electrify pretty much any structure: obs, ips, armory, arms lab, com chair.

It is definitely NOT a plugin, as I've seen it happen on many servers - including mine (which has no plugins).

Today in mineshaft, I was electrifying my res tower in refinery and instead of the tower, the arms lab got electrified.

    Its a simple exploit.
    Playtesters are stunned they didnt catch it.
    Since every electrifiing costs 30 res and there is no point in electrifiing everything, its not that comon.
    Dont teach how to.

    Better be gone in 2.1, where electrification will be much more common.

    Well, if you get armoury humpers you can always electrify the armory, ZZAP!

    Actually, i remember reading about electrifiying the comm chair in the beta forum, so i bet they knew about it.

    The biggest thing is... it's generally not useful. Which is why it's not exploited a lot.

    its not a bug that you can exploit and electrify X structure every time... it simply has to do with certain locations on certains maps that are bugged. For instance you said you had relocated to refinery in mineshaft.... well thats one of the worst spots to go, kinda like relocating to eclipse in 1.04 and trying to upgrade. All kinds of crazy stuff happens when you move your base there... i recomend not doing it, as it usually screws your team more than it helps.

    While Refinery does screwy things like recycle your comm chair, there is in fact a reproducible version of non-res, non-tfac electrification.

    EDIT: A reproducible version that is not tied to buggy places like Refinery. Or, at least they appear not to be.
