Forced Reclaim.

Postby Turnus » 01 Mar 2014, 14:08

Is there anychance of someone coding a forced reclaim mod, to allow engies to reclaim even with full mass ECO? I have major issues with mass pile up around the map which causes stuttering. I figure there are likely some, if a minority, other players with weaker computers who would benefit from this. Anyway its just a suggestion, dont know what the requirments of coding something like this would be, but id be greatfull to some feedback.

But they already do reclaim even with full mass storage?

Engineers only automatically reclaim (via Patrol) at aout under half full storage. My engineers NEVER reclaim if my Mass Eco is positive, unless I manually click the wreckage with the engineer, microing wreckage is a pain when theres about a hundred wreckages in the area plus, large scale combat in other spots.

I don't know what you are doing but you are doing it wrong. Engys defenitly reclaim whenever massstorrage isn't full and they are on atackmove or Patrol. Show us a replay where it happens please because i highly doubt this could be a bug that stayed undiscovered for so long and only for you.

There as some UI mod that makes engies not reclaim when storage is almost full, I think. If so it is one of the ones I am using, don't know which one though.^^

I worded that wrong, I meant that they dont reclaim when the storage IS full, which can clutter the map badly when either using a paragon or having a positive (i.e. full ) eco. Now if your engineers DO reclaim at that point I'd really like to know why mine dont. And also i wouldnt mind the ability to toggle engy stations to auto reclaim. :D but maybe thats just me.

P.S. Stargate is epic... I am sooo pissed they took it off netflix.
