Summary0023041: AI Threat tries to use a wormhole despite a Black hole Machine being on the planet
DescriptionBrought to attention by this comment on Steam https://steamcommunity.com/app/573410/discussions/0/3933271165684822857/

Instructions :

1. Wait for the Threat to start pouring in from Cathay at the top left into Finin (the middle of the map. Also the planet with the Black hole generator.)
2. Once the ships move in, there is a strike fleet (Keybind 1) on the homeworld (Yin) to the bottom right. Move that onto Finin and send it under the forcefields.
3. This makes the homeworld "less defended" in the AI's mind, so after a little while the threat will try to use the wormhole.
4. Only some of them will go through (Stingrays and Raiders). The rest will either try to use the wormhole and fail, or attack the command station.

Note!!!: Don't try to kill the threat. That kind of defeats the purpose. Also: I put the Command Station on Finin into hold fire and also turned "Engineers auto-work" to off in the Personal Setting ---> automation tab. That way the Threat won't get distracted by
metal harvesters.

This happened to me as well. AI hunter fleet planned a flank through my planet with a black hole machine, but completely forgot to plan with the black hole machine and several hundred strength just waited at the exit wormhole until they got shot. This happened repeatedly, so the AI must have "seen" the machine even in the offchange it would have fog or war the first time.

I think there are two issues here:
1. AI planning an invalid attack route through a black hole machine
2. When stuck on black hole machine, inability to react in any way

P.S.: I have a savegame with a civilian industry mod on, where the AI is literally stuck on the wormhole. Can upload if required.
