This specification was automatically generated from a feature request imported into Ares's LaunchPad bugtracker. If you are interested in fleshing out this feature, please update this page.
This logic will allow passenger-carrying units to dock to structures with Grinding=yes, UnitAbsorb=yes, InfantryAbsorb=yes, Passengers=, CanBeOccupied=yes or Cloning=yes set, with one of the following effects:
- Grinding=yes: The passengers of the docking unit will be ground for cash.
- UnitAbsorb=yes, InfantryAbsorb=yes: The passengers of the docking unit will be transferred into the building to trigger its absorption function.
- Passengers=, CanBeOccupied=yes: The passengers of the docking unit will be transferred into the building's passenger/occupant queue to occupy it.
- Cloning=yes: The passengers of the docking unit will be cloned for the owning country, the passengers will be killed in the process.
In conjunction with other features, particularly the Chrono Prison logic (#bug:680), this will allow for a variety of usage cases:
- Prison: Just give a building a passenger queue (as opposed to an occupant queue), and a Chrono Prison can drop its load there.
- Resource gathering: Players can not only gain cash from Chrono Prisoners, but an entire new "herding" resource system can be crafted - set up a spawning anim or a slave master churning out cows or other livestock, gobble it up with harvester, and unload it for cash.
- Transport gateways: With a tiny additional change to allow pickup of passengers and occupants as well, passengers can be picked up by a unit straight from the building, and dropped off at a different one. This allows not only for airports, but also for APCs driving troopers from bunker to bunker.
- Foreign units: Players can use their Chrono Prison to acquire specific units and drop them into the Cloning Vats to get friendly versions of them. This allows a skilled player to create an army of units he can't even build, as long as he works for it.
