Feature request

from Offworld Forums

Just a minor feature request: I want to be able to build in adjecent spots, even when I don't have slant drilling. Two reasons:

1. I'm researching slant drilling and want to dispatch my construction across the map before slant drilling is done.

2. I want the adjecency bonus on the present building (accepting the fact that the new building will not produce anything).

It feels wrong that a building could get an adjacency bonus from a building that isn't producing anything.

Hi KayserCEO,

I see where you're coming from, but some other player could get slant drilling before you do preventing you from getting it and it would get the game in a weird state where a lot of things would need to be undone. I do agree, in general, that we want players to be able to do things preparing for something to come online.

Thanks!

I don't know, that might not be such a bad thing.  Use a claim that doesn't produce anything, but does boost the performance of the other building.  I guess that lessens the affect of slant drilling...I don't know.

What if I'm ready to take my chances? I wish for an game option to 'allow[/block] construction of "non-productive" buildings'. I can always retool to something productive if someone else gets it.
