Crews do not use the beacon, even though they should

[pallid arrow]

Crews from TPL have none - superweapon in their ai (for testing and simplifying purposes) and they start walking to the leftmost HAL instead of teleporting with the beacon to the rightmost one. No other crews take the beacon instead, neither target those rooms (avoiding superweapon lines are present on all of the MSL crews)

However, if i place the beacon in the leftmost HAL, they take it immediately

Is there any good explanation to this? Seems completely off to me

Place beacon in a room no longer being shortest path, so...

That is the reason, crew will go to left most CH because it is closest super weapon room

[pallid arrow]

It should be not a shortest path to the room next to it, not the room across half of the ship

I mean they change how it work, diffirent with the begining of beacon

[pallid arrow]

I remember they changed that the beacon is no longer a path with 0 distance, but something around 1 or 2, so the crews do not use it to teleport in the room right next to them, which has a beacon. When was this latest change done?

[near tusk]

Consider all room have no beacon, then when crew want to go a specific room, if that room have beacon, it will tele to that room, get it?

@pallid arrow are you sure your other missile crew aren't just using up the beacon charges? 'avoiding super weapon lines' don't work on beacons since beacons activate in a single frame, so even if a crew is targeting the room for only 1 frame, they will beacon over (and then beacon back the next frame, possibly)

[pallid arrow]

Yes, because there is armor lines present on every other crew

And the beacon just stays unused

While Torpedo crews keep running to the leftmost HAL

Did you try watching one frame at a time? Keep in mind beacons have 1s cooldown now. Any crew that targets an active beacon for 1 frame will use it, that's almost certainly what's happening based on your description

[pallid arrow]

yes, that is why i made the thread in the first place, because nothing makes sence

[winged pelican]

It makes sense to me -- your other crew are using the beacons based on your description

[pallid arrow]

i can even record a replay showcasing that no crew whatsoever take the beacon

[winged pelican]

Do it frame by frame and please send

[near tusk]

So u dont get this. :((

@pallid arrow

Crew desision go to nearest room first, then check that room have beacon or not, if not, crew walk to it, if room have beacon, crew tele to it.

Not the way around like check what room in those kind have beacon first, then use nearest room which have beacon later

Hope u understand

[hollow void]

Jinzura is right, crew will always check the closet room

[whole raptor]

yes beacon don't be automatically the shortest path now so all your crews will fill the super slots from the nearest to the farest.
If you send 5 crews the 5th one will take the beacon.
