| Description | I think I figured out a mechanism for this, and it should be a nice performance boost. | ||||

Got it as part of this: * AI guardians and dire guardians are now allowed to stack, which also means that other things like nanocaust ships (which are flagged as such) are now also able to stack. This gives a pretty major performance boost in some games that were previously bogged down because of a ton of those sorts of ships that were not stacking. Thanks! |

Whoops! * Added SmallShipNotStackable and LargeShipNotStackable, which don't have the other AIGuardian logic or flags, but which prevent stacking of them. ** Currently applied LargeShipNotStackable to: dark spire ships (is this needed?), dyson ships (is this needed?), macrophage harvesters (is this needed?), nanocaust ships (this is needed, for now at least, to not let them stack across different spawners). ** Thanks to Badger for reporting the problems that the change to AI Guardians stacking logic could cause with some of the other factions. This makes the performance worse (for now) with the nanocaust again, but it does make it so that guardians are stackable. |

If anyone is curious, each Nanobot center is only allowed to have a certain number of ships in the galaxy for balance reasons (otherwise the nanocaust would be basically unstoppable). During a SimStep where the nanocaust is allowed to produce ships, the game will count the ships from each nanobot center to know if a given center is allowed to make more ships. If ships from different centers stack together then it makes it impossible to still track which centers are allowed to produce new ships. The fix is going to be implementing code for "this unit is allowed to stack only with other units from the same nanobot center" |
|
|
This will help some when the time comes: * Added SmallShipYesStacks and LargeShipYesStacks, which are like their non-stacking variants but do stack. ** Now applied LargeShipYesStacks to: dark spire ships and dyson ships. ** Macrophage ships are not supposed to stack, and are rare enough that they don't even need to. Nanocaust stuff will be dealt with later on, made to stack but only with extra conditionality. |

Nanocaust and Marauders can now stack. More testing is needed of course. |
