hi there,

when i order some builders to take ans wall a mex with alt+w, i have to this step sometimes up to 4 times until it works.

scenario 1: multiple builders arrive at the mex an they first terra a bump and then the mex on top. thats not what i intended with alt+w!

senario 2: this happens very seldom on mexes but more often on buildings,, the builders arrive and totally ignore the terraforming and build the mex or building straight on the grond with no terraforming at all.

scenario 3: finally the builders build the mex and then the wall, but this time they put them self on the wall. so i have to remove the wall, move the builders and make another attempt to wall the mex without putting the units on the wall. this is so tiresome in big games with a lot of spots to watch at the same time.

i read so many philosopühical thought in the news feeds about making micromanagement easier to focus on the strategy game play, but i dont see much of it right now :(

so what can i do to make the game working like it is intended please?

I have also had issues with this.
For me, running on windows, w+alt builds two solars just fine and I use it all the time. But the other 3 virtual computers that are running on the same computer use Linux Mint instead of Windows, and w+alt always has the builders try to terraform instead of placing two solars around the mex.

I'm not sure if the difference in operating system has anything to do with it, but it is very frustrating. I can provide more information if that is helpful at all.
