The most important tech structure!
Subject description: Oil Derrick
This bizarrely iconic tech structure is now in Red Alert History, and while the capture bonus, and credit tic are obviously coded in, the all important question is: Does the Oil Derrick give build radius?
Currently the answer is yes. But only for static base defences, and the build radius is obnoxiously small!
This is deliberate, as ideally a player would not be able to build a bunker off a oil derrick's build radius. Of course testing will ultimately decide whether the derrick's build radius will remain.

Being able to protect a derrick with a defence structure is obnoxious!
Hmm....
I think the best you could do is make the build radius as large possible, but small enough that non-1x1 buildings can't be built without having to resort to some time-consuming precision work.
Otherwise it'd be a work of precision to place a turret at the Derrick's edge, and that'd be bad.
Speaking of building at the edge: are build-radii in C&C 3 limited to circles or can squares/custom polygons be put in through workarounds we haven't figured out yet?
RA3 had square/rectangular build-radii, and it shares the engine with C&C 3.
Surely someone knows a thing or two about hacking EXEs with DLLs? _________________ One and only developer of the Command & Conquer Dune "C&C D" mod.
