Hey everyone, So I imagine someone before me has already asked this, but I was wondering how to make the automated refinery harvest vespene without needing a geyser that gives it a starting resource (I've made it so that you can place the automated refinery anywhere, but it never harvests any gas or show the timer). (Really what I'm looking for is a way to make the automated refinery in Squad TD).

You could add a behavior to the refinery which adds vespene to its owner in an interval. Would that solve your problem?

I attempted this and it did not work.

This should not be a problem at all

create a neweffect - effect type -> modify player change 'resources' to the amount of vespene you would gain each period

Create a behavior -> type buff: improtant fields of the bahavior are

- duration - -1 (= forever) - period - which ever time you want in seconds - effect - periodic add an your created effect

now add the behavior to the refinery select the structure in the units tab and look for the behavior - behaiors+ field

somewhere in these steps you might have made a mistake.

I tried what you said IcyJay and it worked fine. Thanks for the help!
