Repaired gathering at deposit arrival boundaries

A tiny numerical tolerance lets rival Pioneers resume work after reaching replacement deposits.

I traced two stalled rival economies to a tiny arrival mismatch at replacement deposits: their Pioneers completed movement just outside the two-metre work boundary, then repeated the same movement instead of gathering.

A 0.1 mm numerical tolerance now reconciles arrival with that existing work radius. It does not enlarge the deposit into a new gameplay range or grant resources.

“I traced two stalled rival economies to a tiny arrival mismatch at replacement deposits: their Pioneers completed movement just outside the two-metre work boundary, then repeated the same movement instead of gathering.”

The actual sixteen-hour checkpoint replay showed both affected factions collect 48 Emburrn over 24 simulated seconds. That targeted replay is separate from this native Armies-monitor footage, which illustrates the current economy interface.

Compressed-save reloads passed through hour twenty, completing the evaluation across saved continuations with a protected-hero fixture and worms disabled. Three surviving factions still stopped near a crowded deposit, with another travelling to a replacement field. The 0.1 mm arrival correction fixes the numerical boundary failure; it does not resolve that larger access problem or the persistent vehicle jam.
