[SC2] Assisted Building

I think assisted building might actually be possible to implement. Using All Factions mod, you can successfully have all 3 ACUs simultaneously target structures to assist in building. There is also a noticeable change in building rates when done so. I'm thinking that this should also be possible to implement with engineers.
But I'm not sure if this is an on/off feature or if it's possible to define per structure how many assisted builders are permissible. I would really like to be able to set how many builders can assist via a function, ex., something like a/(a+b) so that as b increases the added contribution of assisting builders approaches 0, i.e., to avoid infinite build assistance. 'a' would be unique to each structure/unit.|||Currently the assistance is 1, 1/3, 1/9, etc. At least that is what I have been told by a GPG member, and I have no reason to doubt it. Any assistance past the first is highly unnoticeable.
I am surprised you saw a noticeable affect from the 2nd and third ACU. Maybe the system is more complicated than we were lead to believe.|||Assist building isn't possible but assisting factory's when there building has always been there.|||If ACUs can assist each others' building, then it is possible, but it might have significant side effects. But it's probably not possible to change the diminishing returns.
