Summary0028312: Endless loop stops game progress
DescriptionGot caught trying to steal Tungsten Carbide. Nearby units aggrod, and after killing the close units, they proceeded to aggro my base which to be fair wasn't far away. Now they are stuck in an endless loop of: destroy tower -> tower moves -> they re-aggro the tower & destroy it -> tower moves -> re-aggro... etc.

My understanding is that a mistake like this should have an exit point, rather than a loop that you can't recover from. You should be able to replicate the issue from the save game I'm attaching by just passing turns and watching how they behave vs the tower (I've already watched this for about ten turns to see if the loop would exit before reporting.)

Ah, the other good news is that I'm planning on today making them not attack the tower in general, since it's not something they should be going after.

Thanks!

* NPC units are now forbidden from attacking your network tower... until a certain internal flag is tripped.
** That flag is not tripped during any of the current content, and it would not make sense for it to be. I'm just noting that this isn't blanket forever-immunity.
** There's a solid lore reason for the tower to not be attacked, and also mechanical reasons like certain death-loops you can get into.
** The lore reasons will be made a part of the game shortly.
