@black_wriggler said in Adjust the build skirt of naval factories:
I think fixing the roll-off points would go a long way to improving the behaviour of naval facs, i remember once playing around with rally points for ages trying to get the ships to leave cleanly when they finish building.
This involves giving them more space - we've tackled this with pull request. One of the change is to increase the distance of the roll off point based on the size of the unit.
Footprint size of battleship
Old roll off point, too close to the factory where the unit doesn't fit (see previous image for footprint size) so the unit has to find an alternative roll off point location
New roll off point, further away from the factory based on the size of the unit
This fixes the 'weird' roll off that especially battleships had, but again - it assumes there is actually space on the sides of the factory and we currently do not guarantee that. In practice this will still be weird behavior for the majority of players and all the AIs.
