Repeaters should be less restricted?

[UniqPhoeniX]

Moving a repeater is and should be pretty much the same as moving RC, which means with defeders/another builder ready to build another/when aliens are not attacking. With good building you wont need to move the repeater anyway.

I will mention here that the OP wasn't concerned with moving repeaters (at least not in what he posted) but wanted multiple repeaters in the same spot so that the outpost wouldn't be relying on just one power source.

I have a feeling this thread is bad for my karma counter.

PROTIP: node == repeater

[Hugoagogo]

it would work well if you made it so that the range of repeaters can overlap but you cant build a repeater within range of anouther repeater

[Le Compilateur]

Unfortunately I don't know how to implement that.

Edit: that's how it works already.

I was under the impression this is how it works already...

[Le Compilateur]

I think it is...yeah...

[Hugoagogo]

then whats the problem

Fixed.

Of course, there is always the "repeating" repeater, where repeaters must be powered by either the reactor or a repeater chain connected to the reactor.
Unfortunately, this has the opposite problem of both making human forward bases even harder to build and maintain.

[Le Compilateur]

That would be interesting to try but I'm not going to. It would make the humans have to build well since if one link goes down, everything after it goes down as well.

Also, trying to code the link system so that it works properly might be a pain.
It would be kinda of pointless if you had 2 repeaters cut off from daisy-chain, happily powering each other.
