Building while in pause

Post by sootynz »

Not sure if this is a bug, or something that was overlooked in the latest stable version, 1.1.1.

Using the "cheat" it was possible to set permission to build while the game was paused. It is no longer possible to do this.

With large maps, and in sandbox mode, this was a very useful feature.

By the way, I dont think of it a cheat and it would be better implemented as a regular feature. Or has it been in the new version and I've missed it?

This. Advanced settings->Construction->When paused allow: all actions.

Hey guys,

I have gone to the adv settings and clicked allow all actions,

but when I return to my game after loading it it wont let me blow up or build. Returning to the settings screen and the 'allow all actions" is checked.

Have I missed something? Is it because the game started when build while paused wasnt allowed then?


Thanks

I figured it out.

I was changing it in the home screen, figured out that adv settings can also be seen within the game.

no, savegames remember the settings they were started with. this makes it easier to switch back and forth between games with different settings, and allows synchronizing settings between players in multiplayer.
