Yeah I 100% agree, was just providing a way in case there is some overriding need/reason for it.Gunner98 wrote: Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:53 am From experience, players generally don't like being prevented from doing something they want to do.
Perhaps an explanation why something shouldn't be done would help
Yes sorry, here's the reason:Gunner98 wrote: Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:53 am From experience, players generally don't like being prevented from doing something they want to do.

I think you'll find that the devs update the game pretty regularly. It may be worth asking where on their priority list this issue is and, if soon I wouldn't bother putting design effort around a bug because you'll keep chasing your tail.
You may be better off using a Special Action. If you want the player to have a certain amount of ammo, instead of putting in an Ammo truck unit, just build a special action and when the player wants to resupply they use that an if it is not repeatable then it adds the ammo and disappears.

Yeah, that's great idea ! Brilliant, thanks !You may be better off using a Special Action.
