Building The Power Plant Without Prerequisite ?

adamstrange · Cyborg Cannon **Joined**: 07 Mar 2013

How can I build the allied power plant without needing any Prerequisite ?

In the AI mod called VS_INI version 21, you cannot build anything past the barrack and refinery.

It worked earlier today but when I shutoff the computer and then later on turned it on and started the game, I could only build the barracks and refinery as the construction yard was the Prerequisite.

Last time this happened I assigned the barracks as the Prerequisite for the power and it worked but now, without editing anything, the power does not appear even though the barracks are the Prerequisite

I assigned the refinery as the Prerequisite and it still does not work.

The game's code doesn't just magically change itself, you must have done something...

The power plant should have the construction yard as the prerequisite, if you dont have a construction yard then you cant build anything anyway.

NOPE not at all.
For me to get the power plant I had to create a second mcv that deploys into the power plant.

I then had to remove the power plant as a prerequisite for the warfactory so that when I built the barracks, the factory was now buildable and then I could build the mcv that deploys into the power plant and it worked.

I just lost a game and when I started to play again and deploy the deployable mcv power plant, the moment that it went to deploy the plant, the plant sold itself or under-deployed and was gone.

This is without me editing anything.

Plant does not show up in the menu.

This is for the AI mod VS_INI.

I have tried the pillbox, refinery and warfactory as the Prerequisite for the power plant and none of them work.

I have copied the original code over from the zip file and it does not work

The only editing that I did was add 2 new tanks and a new pillbox and everything was working fine for 2 weeks until recently this started

So, you want upgrades for a building which is deployable only?

You haven't clearly expained your intent nor your problem.

Anyways, you can try removing the power-ups (including from lists and such)

You can also try changing BuildCat=Power to Combat

I also believe Adjacent=14 is too much, way more than any vanilla building.

I didn't create the upgrades, I was just adding some of my units into the VS_INI Ai mod.
