Peasants refuse to build

But I don't think there's a strike >.>

Okay, so no matter what I do I can't get my peasants to build anything. Basically, they lay the foundation and it sits there. I've tried using custom peasants, the default peasant, changing and defaulting the repair and build... nothing. I've tried custom buildings, regular buildings, etc., but nothing works.

Any idea what's going on?
PS: yes, my custom builders were the right race and had the corresponding build/repair. But it wouldn't matter, because even a peasant that only had the stuff it builds changed refuses to build.

EDIT: Oh jesus. I guess Powerbuild Cost can't be zero? Because I set it back (i didn't know I'd changed it) and suddenly everything works. I don't know WHY it can't be zero, but it can't. Hmm.

Probably because, since Powerbuilding is basically like Repairing (other Peasants Powerbuild on an already-built structure), and you can't Build anything without Repair (since Building is really just "lay foundation" then "repair till complete"), a Powerbuild cost of 0 would effectively = "0 Repair".

Meh?

Wc3 probably multiplies powerbuild by number of builders to get the build speed, even if it's just one. Which is silly, but c'est la vie.

Have you tried -1 or something?

-1 would give you gold or wood, so that would be a bad idea and i dont think on the gam interface or contents it goes passed 0.

Turn on allow negative real values in object editor... always do that... Though it's based on the idea of Blizzard's spaztacular behaviours. Ocassinoally, random numbers do something cool.

Maybe you need to build more pylons.

No, it's because WE hates you.

You need to take it out for dinner, show it a good time.

go to the nearest depot, they have any thing you want, you just have to find and unpack it.
