When pressing (for example) 1 for building collectors before the textbox appears, its possible to place (AND build) them before the creeper starts growing.

This might explain some unbeleiveable scores in the highscores

place the buildings down before the beging text appears and they will be built instantl. i think thats wat he said
Not even death can stop the truly determined.

I told them, "I want to add to the world."
They said, "Then learn how to use the editor."
I asked, "What is the editor?"
They said, "Life."

Siccles

big edit: this seems to only work in the training sim, since the textboxes in the full-game dont seem to pause the game

try this, puase the game before the text box appears, use the number keys to place units, then unpause. click away the text, and see wat happens

never mind my last post, thebuilder is right! it works in every single mission (meaning the highscores are totally worthless)

TheBuilder

Doesnt work for me , maybe it works on an older version .
If so , the highscores should be form the latest version that didnt have this problem !
( maybe the game works slower on older computers , so this works , the computer i use now is new )
PLZ THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU CALL YOUR TOPIC ! It will make the search work better =)

Yea you just have to quickly keep pressing 1 or whatever you want and it lets you start building it before the creeper comes. But you cannot (or I just don't know how.) place them under the text.

you can place it under the text, if you pause the game nearly instantly.

This bug could probably be fixed by making the pause button and the 1-0 keys only work after the text is shown.

so yeah t needs fixing
