Title: Shiny bubble
Post by: Bizman on June 02, 2017, 01:50:26 PM
This is not necessarily a bug, rather a poorly chosen terrain tile in that location. On Mindanao A1 the Shore Battery hill looks like a half-globe hammered of shiny brass.

They have shined like that since Waffle introduced the new object. I'm surprised people didn't report all the funky light responses that thing does at long distance in the sun already.

The shine might not be from the object, but the tile set. There are glossy patches in the Pacific tile set that I assume are rice paddies. The paddies would look fine if they were always level but they will just overlay any shape.

Evidence of ancient alien activity, I say.

Shines like that for the two other tile sets. Anything with a textured rock causes it, if you lay grass on it which has no texture response it won't do it. Waffle had to have tested that before releasing the object for use. If you build a terrain, you will have run into this in spades.
