    How long ago did you install Queller? You had to manually remove the AI Compatibility Mod Patch Client and Queller AI Client if you have an old install that's been auto-updating, so make sure those are gone. If it's a fresh install then it's almost certainly another mod (client or otherwise) given that on a vanilla install Queller will display its personalities. Failing that you'd need to verify the file integrity of your game install.

    There is a much larger v5 update in the works, but it's dependent on the new PA AI features currently in beta, so you won't see it until that update ships.
    Clopse, lulamae, gmase and 1 other person like this.

    Following the recent balance changes, is Uber Bot now trickier than Uber in a 1v1? Let me know.

    Does Queller respect the build limit that you can set in;

    Steam\steamapps\common\Planetary Annihilation Titans\media\pa\ai\ai_config.json

    Having a-lot of trouble with AI spamming too many units (including bombers it doesn't use??) in long games which is causing the sim to bottleneck and slowly die.

    Would be greatly appreciated if you could make it so we can cap the amount of units the AI can build if it doesn't respect the default config..

    If someone could make a mod to force server to use double the threads for each task that would be great, can't see why it would be an issue if its really programmed asynchronously. Completely triggered that this game won't use more than half of my resources before killing itself.

    Love Your AI btw, Its amazing.

    Yes.

    It builds bombers on empty planets to attack your attempts to build teleporters. Unfortunately the AI isn't great about going after them, but hopefully one day we'll get some of the AI fixes I know mikeyh got into beta at one point.

    Sim impact from the AI is almost always due to fabber build up though. You can use CTRL-P to see what's slowing the sim, and if it shows it's the AI then it's probably fabbers not unit numbers. Air is low impact due to ease of pathfinding and no collisions.
