Metal Spots!

We just played a game using metal spots. Expect the next build to require you to use them!

The distribution of them is still screwy, I have to put in some work to come up with a better algorithm for distribution.

First. Also: Awesome news!

And here I am planning to be off from my computer the next 2 or 3 days. What a timing...

But still great news.

What is this being off computer thing you speak of?

I wont be at home basically. I won't try to run PA on my netbook.

Yea, don't bother. I tried when I was on my vacation last week and had no luck

Nice can't wait^^

Luckily some additional RAM and a slightly better gfx card will arive tomorrow or the day after^^. Good timing!

this oughta change the game up a bit!

Awesome! Hopefully this will make things more dynamic and put an end to catapult standoffs.

Sounds great!

Are you going for the TA style "can be built anywhere but only work on a metal spot" or the SC style "will snap to metal spots and can't be built anywhere else"?

I believe they are going for the on-the-spot-snap technique.

That would be my preferred option, but I've no-idea whether that level of user friendliness would be implemented yet at this point in the alpha.

Of course, they may have been waiting to get the current building snapping feature working and released, as a metal point snapping feature would probably use similar code.

Extractors do snap to metal spots.

Woop Woop!

Build has been tested and will be pushed within a few hours assuming nothing explodes.

Something to look forward too when I wake up tomorrow.

Nice! I hope it is out by the time I get home today =)
THE GAME HAS CHANGED!

Please, no sleep till it's out.

I'LL BE EATING COULORS TO STAY AWAKE.
