the geologist does not work well
zdechlak opened this issue · comments
the geologist doesn't work well - he searches in random places far from the flag - he doesn't go to the flags or he can't be sent

you can't send a geologist to flag under the castle

I believe the first video shows normal Geologist behavior, as the underlying code should be the same as the original game.
The second example I agree would be better if the geologist worked, but this is such an edge case that I don't think it is worth spending time debugging.
in the first video it is clearly shown that the geologist is malfunctioning - besides, he cannot be sent to the same place a second time
oh, you are right. In the first video I only watched the first geologist sent. Now I see what you mean that on the second flag built/sent he goes to a completely different area. I will take a look into this
In your first video, how are you creating the Flag at the 0:08 second mark of the video? I don't see you clicking the built flag button on the PanelBar.
I just tried for a few minutes and I can't reproduce this behavior with a Geologist going to completely wrong area where there is no path. He always follows the path to target flag for me
I'm using the keyboard, I press 1
Does this happen often? I have never once seen this happen myself with geologists. I just tried size10 map to see if that contributed somehow but still not seeing it. I will try windows version next to see if there is something different about it
happens often - the geologist does not work properly, a small map is enough
So the issue you are seeing is that you build a flag on a mountain, send a geologist to it, but the geologist walks to some other mountain area, not following and road to get there?
The three behaviors I see in your video are:
- a geologist is sent to the southern mountain area, he explores and marks some signs. This looks like normal behavior
- a flag is created in the north-eastern mountain area, a geologist is sent, but instead of following the road to this flag he walks along the grass west, not along any path, to the mountain north-west of the castle? This behavior I have never seen
- "re-sending" a geologist to same flag sometimes fails, but this is behavior of the original game I never fully understood. If you try again a few seconds later it should work

sometimes it doesn't work even after a long time - it needs to be fixed

here the most important mistake - geologists go to a different place than indicated
