Title: Your units defecting
Post by: Iaxul on December 15, 2014, 07:26:31 PM

Hi,

Firstly, I'm new here, nice to see this great game still has players.

Soo, the situation is there's a game where some of my units are abandoning me and going all red, like mind worms. Had a chopper go berserk on a terraformer earlier, and now I have a cruiser sitting in my base which keeps bombing the base's squares. What causes this? I had recently exceeded the base limit regarding efficiency, maybe something related to that?

And specifically, what can I do about the cruiser? It doesn't seem to want to leave the base. So far I haven't figured out a way to do anything to it.

It would probably help to post a save for one of our scientific types to have a look at...

This sounds like a bug; if you provide a savegame from before it happens, either scient or I should be able to investigate.

Regarding the cruiser...moving a unit out of the base and then back in might work, or else perhaps using the scenario editor to give it back to yourself.

That sounds like a glitch I saw several times before applying Yitzi's patch (version 2.x). No sign of it since then. Using his newest patch should eliminate it for future games, but your current game might be toast, unless one of Yitzi's suggestions can salvage it.

It doesn't sound like a bug that I fixed, though, so I'm not sure why my patch would fix it, unless it was a side effect of another fix.
