Some brainstorming ideas for possible future PA

Not either of you at fault, but entirely not what I meant by my question. I am trying to ask if anyone knows the specific mechanic by which the game decides if a selection box should exclude the combat units or the fabs. I can understand how you didn’t get that from my reply, but how did you get to “what is a combat fab?”?

Comparing the game's fabrication_bot_combat.json file to the same file in the Combat Fabber Deselect mod, The mod seems to have dropped

Code:

"unit_types":[.......,"UNITTYPE_Offense"..............],

They both have

Code:

"unit_types":["UNITTYPE_Construction",.......]

C:\Games\Planetary Annihilation\Planetary Annihilation\stable\media\pa\units\land\fabrication_bot_combat

Although at this point they get grouped together with fabbers when you drag a group selection.

Regular bot fabbers have

Code:

"unit_types":["UNITTYPE_Fabber",......]

Which neither of the combat fabber json files have

This is what happens with the Combat Fabber Deselect mod

not gonna put this into OP
but what do you guys think about a ragnarokversion that only destroys the planets surface for recolonisation (since there is discussion for asteroids doing that)
