    i would not be too happy about that. I'm afraid that code will be very expensive to execute (i did not put enough thinking into it), so most servers would not be able to handle it :(
    we have to wait until the real genius Andrew fixes that problem, but for now I would be happy if a few people would try out that feature and report back problems / bugs

    Looks better than the stacking for sure, but how will it behave if surrounded by players?

    If a group of players are standing next to 4-5 arcs and another arc comes trucking in, do the arcs down-prioritize their own spot on the field and allow the players some space?
    In particular, what would happen if an arc were to be pushed into a player.
    Would they both become stuck, or maybe even die?

    So is this just a sort of soft collision? Gently nudging each other out of their hit-boxes, that is. Will this be included to effecting players as well so the MACs stop trapping marines when it helps them build something?

    If so I suppose it should be the marine getting nudged out of the way rather than the Bot in question, just to lower them getting stuck or the pathing causing them to just ram into a marine over and over til it got to where it was going.

    Edit: Punctuations! Those should likely be here.

    yeah, if you pile up 10 ARCs and move to alien start, you'll win without any marines protecting them. Takes too long for the aliens to kill them, especially when they only bite one at a time (or every other bite is spread out between the 10 and you can't kill 1 until ALL of them are at low health).

    Bilebomb helps tons there, but if your Main is getting hit you probably don't have it anymore so that's probably a moot point.
