Price: $1250
Description: This bounty would allow modders to restrict AI companies to build specific models, similar to our spinoff vehicle restriction system. This means that modded map files will be limited to specific mods. We would have implemented this in the requirements bounty.
Requirements: #360
Required By: None
Concerns: When ai.xml files are linked to component files, that's going to be a recipe for disaster. As the map will not work with most mods. And there are a few mods people play.
Eric's Opinion: This bounty is sensible if you're trying to make stuff like sports car companies and what have you. However, we tried to make AI companies build only specific things using the behavior system back in the early days. It was very successful in limiting them, but companies would go bankrupt in mass when heavily restricted. I fear this bounty and it's sibling will just result in frustration and headache as these companies constantly breakrupt.
