    MY COMS CAN'T EVEN ASSIST ANYMORE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

    And my fabbers can't reclaim?

    No seriously what did you do Uber...

    Sigh...

    This is going to be annoying to figure out.

    Also, might I ask why? Is this because you stubbornly insist on not putting the teleporter and unit cannon in there proper places and instead still keep the nonsensical building of teleporters via orbital fabbers around without any justifiable reason?

    Sigh...

    Then shouldn't this thread be in the mods section?

    The combat fabs special attribute got moved from the unit to the build arm, and build arms have new attributes for build/reclaim/assist and allowed layers. They mostly got put on the engineer_build_arm base specs and get inherited by everything else, but even Uber missed a few special cases like the commander at first.

    So far it does all look to be driven by the orbital fab teleporter exception, but there are interesting possibilities (untested) to have multiple build arms with different capabilities.

    Why are you yelling at us when your issue is being caused by broken mods? Go whine in the mod's thread(s).

    As in, mods you made? Really? Those changes were on PTE for weeks and you didn't think to make changes to your mods in anticipation of the release? And you want to rant at us?!?

    The unit cannon should be your primary invasion method and should be loading prebuilt units rather than building new ones.
    The teleporter's cost should be prohibitive enough so that it is only used to move units between bases or to already established beach-heads; it should NEVER be used as one's primary invasion method and should never come out before late game; the astreaus should be used to transport units from planet to planet.
    Generally treat my rants as three-fourths joking. :)

    And I've been playing Homeworld for the past two weeks, dangit!

    What mod is causing this? I had this happen, but ended up working again once the factory started building the next unit.

    What exactly does the server verify for unit jsons anyway? Would have thought changes/differences to the unit files like that would have been rejected?

    The server is now requiring a new "assist_layers" field in order to allow assisting and a new "reclaim layers" and "reclaim_types" field in order to allow reclaiming.

    The mod that it's breaking for is one I'm currently working on although virtually all mods on PAMM will be broken until they get updated with these fields.

    If the rant is a joke, why are you ranting at all?

    To be fair I've stopped doing pte branches due to the pace of change. I was paying attention to the changes so I knew what to review though.
