    So I was playing the new build today and I got my usual 3 land factories up. I selected them all at once and gave them all a rally point outside of my base. However, instead of the units gathering in a nice neat formation at the rally point, they instead rolled off the factory and immediately started spinning in circles. This has never happened before so I am not sure what is going on. Is it because the factories all had the same rally point?

    the latest builds do it more often. Bugtracker it. If someone does find one or make one, post here so anyone reading can give it a quick vote up. That's how bug justice works.

    otherwise, dunno how pathing broke this patch.

    They may have attended some funky dance classes back at Uber HQ, and now they are trying to show off their flashy dance moves. o_O

    I actually have a suggestion for the way points and rally points.

    As it stands, the factory rally points and way points are shown above the ground, which evokes the same confusion as the orbital units had prior to the latest update. This is that it's difficult to assess the exact location of the rally point in relation to the exact point on the ground. I hope I'm making sense.

    My suggestion is this: display the rally and way points on the ground, instead of in the air.

    It isn't far off the ground. I am pretty sure it is like that to comphensate if the planet is lumpy, so it isn't underground and you don't see it whatsoever.

    Perhaps they could make it so that it accounts for the lumps? I think it would it much easier to use and a "quality of life" improvement.
