So I was commanding the aliens for about 4 games straight (SO much fun!). But on the fourth game the Crag would not build on 1st Hive?!... or the 2nd Hive... Only on the 3rd Hive I could finally build a Crag. Whats up with this?!#$% Had this for multiple games after that, I had to rage quit out of it because it allowed the marines to win vs 0 armor t__t.

People say it's the server, but is it a fault with the game?

    I've experienced this as well. It seems the unchained tech tree is still a little buggy, what with the absence of the other chambers and all.

    I've had this happen in our internal playtests as well, I'm keeping a close eye on it :-)

    I have been in several games now where the aliens had a lot of difficulties in building even simple structures, like harvesters or hives.

    The problem seems to be from 2 different sources. first off, drifters are buggy, and may have a tendency to fall through the floor. I have had this happen both all over the map and then only specifically over hive doors.

    The other problem is as you pointed out, tech requirements for buildings seem to be glitchy.

    speaking of buggy hive doors, last night when I was playing marine, I was at the enemy hive killing enemies with a flame thrower, when I fell through the floor below it. I then became trapped in this compartment underneath the enemy hive.

    Yeah, it seems it requires N+1 hives to build a crag, where N is the number of hives you have. I think the game ties a whip to a hive sometimes, even though it's not supposed to.

    Today I'm still having this bug, but when I start the game I need to tech to 3 hives before I can place my Crag. :<
