Improve mining coordination / avoid leroy jenkins #44

Open mizzao opened 5 years ago

mizzao commented 5 years ago

It seems that when one of the miners goes ahead and leeeroy jenkins everyone, there is not a good distribution of mines when enemies charge. We should help them to coordinate better.

Mine layers also don't lay enough mines when enemies are further out but not that close.

Ideas

advancing in a diagonal should stay that way
random up/down movements actually don't help for miners...coordinate?

Would be interesting if miners could keep formation, at least for the initial assault.

Try laser formation first: #33.

Could also have a configurable mining threshold depending on the enemy (melee = 2, zappers = 3, missiles = 4)
