Why is multiple factory no longer working in skirmish mode

[Kain_niaK]

Hey, I like to play a map called "Green moon" in skirmish mode against the computer.

Sometimes I like to play with the option multiple factory on. This makes it so that all units build faster if you have more of the buildings that generate these units.

 

But it stopped working, why is that? Now turning that option on or off in skirmish mode makes no change anymore.

Why do you play skirmish mode instead of logging into the multiplayer client?

Because I like playing relaxed and goofy games against the computer.

The multiple factory bonus was changed to be like the ra2 bonus. Every new war factory you build reduces the build time by 15%.

You can do that on the multi player client. I’ve never even opened skirmish before.

What about infantry?

Guess its the same with infantry, Kain. It might be less for barracks since its cheaper

But you can do some happy math on this

Lets say 100 is normal build time

Placing 2nd building is 15% faster so 115% build speed

3rd: 15% of 115 is 17 so its 132% buildspeed

4rd building, 15% of 132= 20 so 152%

 

So it will spiral up. 15% more, 17% more, 20% more, 26%. Which means to see a big significant change you gonna need mannnyyy manyy

 

@dkeeton is there a way to download the old ts-spawn that has the old multi factory? So Kain-naik can play with that one.

Thanks for your help. After testing by building 30 barracks It's clear that multiple factory does no longer speed up the time to create infantry. It does still speed up the construction of everything else, but like you said a lot less slower. 

Yeah if I could get some files so I can still play with the old setting for offline games, or if somebody could tell me what files to edit ....

just turn off frame rate cap if you want to increase build speed.

Does that not speed up the entire game?
