This patch applies to the 2.1.1 server. This patch adds a preprocessor #define constant called MAX_SETTLER_STACK, which defines how many settler-like units (settlers, engineers, workers) can be stacked on one space during auto-settle. The default value is set to 1, which means that this patch will have almost zero difference in functional behavior; presumably if this is adopted, a future change will allow this to be changed via a game-setting flag. When MAX_SETTLER_STACK is set to a number greater than 1, auto-settling will be more efficient when there are more settler-like units than there are spaces with tasks. Other notes: * The main bit of backwards-compatibility that has been sacrificed is the tie-breaker rule between settlers that want to go to the same place and will take the same amount of time; previously, whichever settler was closer in true geographic distance would "win"; now, the winner is purely on a first-come-first-serve basis (which means the unit with the smaller index, probably). * priority code hasn't been changed or weighted to account for settlers that are already on the space. It's certainly possible that a large group of settlers will not necessarily pick the most efficient way in tandem to achieve the remaining tasks. -- Wei-Hwa Huang, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------- Everybody counts in base 10, but not everybody counts in base ten.
