NicoH Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hello Guys! First: I'm from Germany, so I'm sorry if my english is bad sometimes. ^^" My Problem is, that if I teleport more than 9 Rock Raiders in my caverns, they begin quick to sleep. That means, that they show me this "ZZZ"-Bubbles the whole time, also if their is much work left. Also if I give them manual order to pick up ore or clean up mining waste, they go to the concerning place and just show their "ZZZ"-Bubble. Is that a known issue?

Anonymouse Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 ZZZ just means idle (er hat nichts zu tun aber er schläft nicht wirklich). You just have to give them orders manually sometimes to get them to do stuff, it's a bit of an annoying AI bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrem Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yes it is a known issue that the AI can stop checking for things to do. Apparently, selecting and deselecting a RR is supposed to make the AI check for things to do before going idle, however I'm not sure if it will work in this case. Some other things you could try is teleport them all back and teleport down a new set of raiders or rearranging the priority list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS Engineer Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I usually deal with it by having them clear some rubble (actually asking but that's a technicality) . In extreme cases I restart the level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know, that my RRs don't sleep and just idle. ^^" But also if I give them manual orders, they won't do their work. Stupid Bug.

Also the selecting doesn't help. The only solution in my case is to restart the missi and hope, that the AI will work in the complete mission now.

Cirevam Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I turn off most of the priorities if they're not needed, like reinforcement, repairing, and recharging. You KNOW when those are going to happen, so just turn them on when you have to or order the raiders to do it manually. Since raiders don't seem to check ignored priorities, they're less likely to get stuck when searching the level for tasks. I've found recently that raiders respond much better if they cannot shovel rubble, as they can only concentrate on material collection and building. One less task means they don't have to check all of those rubble spots. They're still pretty dumb though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMani Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I have the same problem Damn those "Lazy Rock Raiders"... There are like five of them here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaedr Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 This tends to be the only way I lose a normal RR mission (or anything earlier than Frozen Frenzy in Baz's mod). Really quite annoying, and generally when it happens to me it's irrecoverable, they'll never respond to another command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I have the same problem Damn those "Lazy Rock Raiders"... There are like five of them here You know... Rockraiders are actually stupid, lazy and have a mind of their own. I have the same problem too, and you just have to tell them to do something. otherwise you can upgrade them. :docs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Rock raiders are actually stupid, lazy and have a mind of their own. I have the same problem too, and you just have to tell them to do something. otherwise you can upgrade them. Hence why they're on a team with you in charge, because they're idiots. Upgrading doesn't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brigadier Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Try randomly changing all of their priorities. That sometimes wakes them up. Sometimes. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
