Author Topic:   Automating Formers bad idea?

DaveDan posted 02-16-99 06:40 PM ET
I had been playing a game for awhile and got tired of controlling the formers myself so I decided to try an automate them. After that they just seemed to wander around aimlessly. One of them built a 4 square mag lev tube and spent the rest of the game going around in circles. The other ones would make a rare improvement, but were more likely just to move back and forth between 2 squares.
Anyone else have this same problem?

Sometimes the automated formers do get confused, deactivate the automation, and move them away from the developed section and get them going again.
