<div class="IPBDescription">Isn't that not supposed to happen?</div> Last night i played as an alien, and got the idea that building things in odd places might hide them better. I found some good places up in the rafters and built a offense chamber there. Well, when it appeared it seemed ok, then it just suddenly starts slipping through the rafters and lands in the room below! It was exactly where i didn't want it.

I'm pretty sure thats not supposed to happen.

This rafter area had lots of room and it was wide.

    It's because the ceiling is too low for the building to exist there. If the top of an offense chamber was in the ceiling, it wouldn't do much anyway because the slime fires from the top <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    This is a limitation in the HL engine. It wasn't exactly designed for these kinds of things, you know.

    I found an exploit to this! In ns_hera (I think), near the cargo bay hive there is a vent. In that vent you can build your upgrade chambers, but when you do they fall through. Thus, you'll always have that chamber no matter what. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Since alien buildings grow by themselves, you dont need to help them and soon they will come online.

    I did this one game and we always would have Lv3 D, S, and M upgrades. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> (Even though we had 4 Onos and 2 Fades with a support Gorge)
