-ben- 499 Posted April 28, 2019 WIP Release V0.7. Archipelago intends to be exactly what it says on the tin, a series of pacific style islands of varying shapes and sizes, with smaller breakoff land masses scattered around and in between. Hopefully to allow better use of both vanilla and modded boat content, and amphibious gameplay. At this time only two of the medium islands and some surrounding islands have objects on. Mainly infantry focused, tight jungles and narrow roadways. There is currently no schedule/roadmap for updates to come, all that i can confirm is that the largest islands will likely be done last, or possibly in stages. Beyond that, everything is subject to change. Any feedback or suggestions for what to do on the other islands is welcome. Do take into consideration that the current topology of the other islands is not final, it's very rough at the moment. Download from Steam Workshop Technicals: Grid: 4096 Cell: 2m 8192m x 8192m About 355,000 objects so far. (V0.7) Known Bugs: Some trees may be really close together or the occasional tree trunk inside another. Some of the longer bridges, don't look right (have dips in them that make no sense) this is a necessary evil to have the AI reliably use them. Pics to follow.

Nichols 243 Posted July 14, 2019 How well do the AI travel around on this island archipelago? Specifically will they get stuck crossing bridges and how does that effect them with path finding in general? Just looking for another option to complete a mission series for a drug smuggling operation setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-ben- 499 Posted July 15, 2019 I would say the AI driving is no better or worse than any of the maps produced by BI. Had several hunters drive everywhere perfectly fine. As for the bridges i have not come across any instances where they have come to an impasse so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
