If you don't build any additional makers, then at about the 14 minute mark the anti-creeper at the bottom of the map reaches integer overflow, turns into creeper, kills your vacuum, and makes the map impossible to win until the anti-creeper emitter deals with it.  I wonder if the map maker thought about this issue.

[SmileyCoder]

That is really a bug, not the map creators fault.

I like your maps. I find them to all have a different theme, with a fair good challenger without turning into a slugfest. Im impressed that you manage to come up with something different for each map.

The overflow issue could have easily been avoided if he had used level 3 fields instead of level 4 fields and changing the max density on the emitter - if there's an excess of anti-creeper in that chamber, then it won't really matter if it spreads out a bit instead of gathering in that subcell (since the vacuum is still picking up as much as it can either way), whereas if you actually build enough makers to use all the anti-creeper level 3 fields will still push all the anti-creeper into that subcell (to a maximum of 5M density in that subcell before spreading out).

In all honesty, I don't think the fields are necessary at all down there since I doubt anyone will actually build enough makers to use it all - and even if they did, the effect the fields would have is minimal at best.

The vacuum was destroyed within 15 seconds of the start.  After defeating the maze, there was no way to target the last emitter at the bottom, as it is surrounded by infinitely dense ground.

that did not happend with me

You need to update your game version.

See that big red button on the Home panel?  Press it. :)

Okay, will update.... Any idea (from the release notes of the patches), which of the features/bugs is applicable?  Or which patch is the minimum requirement for this particular map?

Again, Thanks for the solution.

There is only the current version. All patches or updates are cumulative.
