Did they add kick to the digger? It's annoying.

Anyway, I successfully captured one area by letting both AIs fight it out, then dropping a bomb  on the surviving brain. That was fun.

I think the root of the problem is that we can't see where the focus is while moving. I had the same issue.

E: Herp derp, I can is reading

I think there's always been recoil effects from diggers, at least from B26. You can make a skeleton body fly with a heavy digger.

I believe there was always recoil from diggers (at least in B23), as that was the main method of movemnet in zero-g maps.

Of course, that doesn't necessarily say a whole lot, seeing as pretty much anything beyond throwing a small stone will cause a skeleton to either fly away or shatter; what with them being made of paper and all.

Somebody mentioned that their brain died for no reason earlier.
Since we are on the topic of digger kickback, I'd just like to mention that this is the reason your brain sometimes kills itself while auto-digging.
For this reason I never use my brain with autodig, instead I call down engineers to dig.

none of my guys seem to want to autodig..I give them the order and sometimes they do it half-heartedly, a few inches here or there, but none of them put effort into it.

That sounds oddly realistic

I think it was because i stuffed a rocklet full of grenades causing it to autogib older actors. Including my brain. *sigh*

They're definitely fixing that, their twitter has listed at lest 3-5 fixes for AI digging.

[OREOSOME]

Thats it. As soon as i can scrape together enough money, I'm gonna get this and KOTOR.

For the moment though, I think it still works to just give them chained move-to waypoints in solid dirt which will cause them to "accidentally" tunnel through the big gold deposits on their way.  It's not permanent, but it also gives you a teensy bit more control over what the dimbulbs are getting up to.

[ank]

That's a nice fix.
I've observed that they dig better when alone, I think multiple diggers mess each other up.

Especially if you try to save money and issue them Ronin shovels. Fortunately, the trench shovel from the Wermacht mod doesn't cause as much fun.

"Oh drat, I appear to have dug my own legs off...  Better smack the head of the fellow next to me"


Ronin are just so adorably squishy.  I like trying to get medevac for the heavily wounded, dismembered and bleeding fellows by getting a dropship to pick them up and take them back to base.  Makes me feel like I care.
