Clicking Near a Power Generator Is Impossible

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I've often found myself in the position of wanting to send units near a power generator I already control. However, even within seemingly inches of a power generator the click still selects the power generator. This, I believe, is telling the units to take the generator. But if I already control it, they don't move. The area selectable for a power generator needs to be cut down. This is a very frustrating mechanic for me as I keep clicking further and further away until I actually have a point on the ground selected.

 

I hope this makes sense! Thanks!

Agree. I find this to be an issue too. The way I get around it for now is to use attack move on the generator - that works even for controlled generators.

A related issue that sometimes affects me is that when I select a meta unit travelling over a generator, the generator gets selected instead of the unit.

I've noticed the same problem, usually annoys me most early game, when I'm trying to cap the points after I have a squad of brutes take the creeps out.  Results in me not capping the power generator very efficently, and alot of random clicks to try to get things to capture it.

Yeh I also find this silly.

When lots of units are harassing a node, it gets difficult. Considering the mouse key is a right button - not a left button which selects.
