Hey,

This happens... every now and then, I dont know in what circumstance, maybe when a teraform moves land up and down to make it flat? Its kinda coolly wierd

http://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/258139

Where I build an air pad (about 3 minutes in or something) I try to flaten the inside of a crater. THe land isnt flat when the terraform completes. Then I move it up a bit, still not flat. I build the airpad next to it, whilst im building the pad, the land continues to very very slowly terraform until about half way through building, its become flat..

funfunfun :)

Also, we need to make terraform building up a bit faster. Its like 50% slower then factory building and unit building.

Wasn't terraform made slower in purpose in order to prevent burying heavy units?

Which still routinely happens, so speeding it up would bury even more units even easier.

The behavior here is controlled by the engine. If a structure is set to level the ground which it is built on then constructors will flatten the ground after placing the nanoframe but before any progress is made. I don't know how to control this rate.

Luaforming the ground instantly would presumably fix the issue.

Additionally, there seems to exist both an Spring.SetUnitBuildSpeed with a separate option for controlling engine terraform speed, and a terraformSpeed unitdef tag (defaulting to workerTime)

Guys, why are you all missing the point?

His question was about manual terraform, nanoframes had nothing to do with it.

The answer to his question is: You didn't have vision. Look at these screenshots (alternatively, next time check the replay).





Terraform went over completely normal. However, if you don't have vision of the terraformed area (which may happen in craters or behind walls etc.), it won't show you what happens (you don't see enemy terraform through fog of war either).
That's normal and been like this for ages.

Now, continue your discussion about ground flattening for building.

thats indeed strupid.
