Can't build over huntables

[purpleganja]

Recently I have not been able to build over huntables (dead or alive). It used to just have the huntable move aside or just delete the corpse, but now its just red buildings that can't be built until the huntable moves away or after gathering all the food.

Intentional but undocumented change apparently.

Please don't tell me so! It is so annoying to get delayed by deer packs randomly running right into my plans.

..Oh well, I guess I'll just have to plan for that as well.

So, chiming in, it's an intended change due to PvP - Some smarmy player realized that you can build storehouses/houses/whatever over dead huntables, cancel it as soon as the villager taps it, and you delete said huntable, thus denying the enemy 150 food for the low low cost of 1 wood. Repeat it on all their huntables, and you get pretty insane value, multiple thousands of food just gone and at best you risk 1 villager, especially when its done at the start of the game and can't be easily countered.

So, yea, you can blame that smarmy PvP player for this drop in PvE QoL.

Personally, I wouldn't mind it IF deer AI got turned off on all PvE maps, so they just stand perfectly still and let you kill them all neatly and orderly like.

Thanks for that explanation.
yeah unmoving huntables would not cause random temporary unbuildable locations that would be great. If it was possible to have live huntables move aside and only the dead ones blocking construction could be good too.

I have made further adjustments to this, and it should be much better next patch.
