Bug Description

This is a strange one. I am using build 0.1.907. The super-weapon in question is below.

What seems to happen is that when the AI uses this super-weapon, they seem to be able to use the building it deploys for base adjacency checks. Every once in a while, they build their Tech Center/Battle Lab (presumably because their base lacks room for it) close to where they deployed the building. Which in the case of this SW, means right next to, or even in the targeted base.

I didn't observe if the AI built anything further than the Battle Lab when this happens- I can do further testing of this if necessary.

That's weird. Just wanted to say I've seen the issue, but I don't think it's related to the actual UnitDelivery SW as it just uses the ordinary deploy logic to place buildings. Might rather be related to base building.

AIs can deploy buildings off of any other building, or so i have observed... I have seen the stock AI build chains of battle bunkers into my base and then build other defs around it (although this behavior is quite rare). It's just one more of those player limitations that WW didn't think the AI needed...
