Flag to order robots throw explosives on minable cliffs

Post by Natha »

I have a cliff entity which has it's minable property set but can also be destroyed by explosives.
When marking it for deconstruction, robots deconstruct it the normal way instead of throwing explosives at it.

Feature suggestion for a flag to be set.

Why should the robots waste explosives if they can mine it directly?

Is your actual intention to make a cliff that players can mine but robots cannot?

Yes. It would be useful for balancing reasons
