If you start a map where there is no space for placing the base, then the base is not placed and you cannot use the cash you gain from coin mod.
Can I suggest a recipe to build the base if you get enough resources to do it, if you dont have a physical base available?
Do you have a save where it failed to place, as I'd be curious to see it?
I put a limit on how far out it checks just to stop it being infinite, however, it may need expanding. I don't want to add complication without it adding real value.
Try a map with lot of resources and lot of trees.
I've got it 3 times in a row...
Luckily this is not my standard game, because I usually play in a no resources world and then space is not a problem...
I only play in a lot of resources world only for testing purpose.
And testing I've noticed this.
Oh, my maps have always "lot of water" for allow me be safe if I reach a resources production of adequate volume and then itisn't hard to find a place where the building can be placed...
As told, I was doing a mod test and I've discovered this problem.
That's why I suggest a way to build a station, if there was no place to have it built on creation.
And that can be helpful on long games if you move your base.
I've just forced it down if it can't find somewhere, not ideal, but good enough for most cases I suspect. And very simple to do, which is all I have time for now.
