    I have been getting some weird pathfinding bugs with builders.

    This is with unmodded Gathering Storm. It's been a long game (World is in Atomic Era).

    I have lots of railroads and in areas with lots of other civilian units, the game's pathfinding gives me lots of bad paths for my builders. Somewhere 7 or 8 tiles away that I should be able to reach in one turn, instead the game has me take a circuitous route that takes 2 or 3 turns.

    The game is especially bad at pathfinding with embarked units. When you can move 8 or 9 tiles by water, the game logic seems to prefer taking 2 or 3 turns by disembarking and then re-embarking.

    I've tried to reproduce it, but even if there is something very noticeable, it's in no way as laggy as some other people are reporting, so it would help to get save from a game with real lag (see results)

    Units on land : ~0.006s
    Units on sea : ~0.035s
    Builder : ~0.30s

    It shows that builder get the action table much slower than other units, but there is a difference of the same scale between land units and embarked/sea units, so I don't think it's proving anything.

    Save game attached (turn 347), sadly that game crashes the next turn (sea level change): I can't test further.

    So your turn, provide saved games, please, this can't be fixed by anyone (including Firaxis) without any evidences of an issue.

    Edit, for reference, at turn 13, with same settings:

    Managed to get a game with a bit more lag, tracked down the lag in the
    Code:
    for operationRow in GameInfo.UnitOperations() do
    loop to be in calling the following line
    Code:
    local bCanStart, tResults = UnitManager.CanStartOperation( pUnit, actionHash, nil, tParameters, true)
    for "actionHash" being building an improvement

    Edit: as reported from other users, removing the natural wonders from the save does not seems to fix the lag when you've reached that point...

    Thanks for the investigation @Gedemon. As far as I know Terra Mirabilis does nothing to change what Builders can build on any given tile but my guess is that is something in
    tResults that includes the recommended Improvement to build. Since TM does a lot to do with yields that could make a difference to the before/after Improvement calculation I suppose.

    The issue seems to be to do with Modifiers that have been set up. Removing the NWs doesn't remove the Modifiers and it seems that whatever the code inside
    CanStartOperation (BuildImprovement) is doing it is doing something quite inefficient with Modifiers.

    Looking through Terra Mirabilis for Natural Wonders that are involved with Improvements I got this list:

    FEATURE_BARRIER_REEF
    FEATURE_BIOLUMINESCENT_BAY
    FEATURE_GOBUSTAN
    FEATURE_MOSI_OA_TUNYA
    FEATURE_VREDEFORT_DOME

    Perhaps someone can retest with these disabled in the TM UserSettings.

    I can eliminate the lag completely by changing the line in UnitPanel.lua from:
    Code:
    bCanStart, tResults = UnitManager.CanStartOperation(pUnit, actionHash, nil, tParameters, true);
    to
    Code:
    bCanStart, tResults = UnitManager.CanStartOperation(pUnit, actionHash, nil, tParameters, false, false);
    From code comments: for 2nd last boolean, false means "No exclusion test" and the last boolean means "No results". I suspect the exclusion test is the inefficient part. Not sure whether this change will only have UI impact.

    Thanks for all the investigation into this. I was wrapping up a culture victory on a huge map last night building a lot of seaside and ski resorts, and the builder lag was horrible. Hopefully something will be figured out soon!

    I'll note that two of the five wonders listed on the previous page were in my game, although neither were in my territory. I'll disable all five in my next game just in case.

    I’d actually recommend the above change to the core game file lua file as it removes the lag completely. I don't believe that disabling NWs has any effect. Even disabling all ownership effects for all NWs doesn’t remove the lag.

    Thanx for looking into this.

    I can confirm that I had this issue for the first time in my last game, which I finished a couple of days ago, and I haven't played a lot lately, so it sort of fits the time frame. Lag times on workers was massive late game, we're talking 10+ seconds each time to activate the worker, and another 10+ seconds for it to move and the action panel to update.

    I'll try the fix, but obviously would like a solution that doesn't necessitate changing the game files. Any idea whether it will be possible to find a source of the issue and make it go away without changing game code?

    PS: Terra Mirabilis is the best mod, so thanx for all the fantastic work.

    We can make this change to UnitPanel.lua within the mod. Without the DLL source it is quite difficult to locate the source of the issue. Overall I feel that it shouldn't be possible to cause such a lag with the changes that Terra Mirabilis is making. I think there is some dodgy inefficient code with the
    UnitManager.CanStartOperation exclusion test that TM is exacerbating or triggering. With the code itself it is hard to trace when might be causing unnecessary looping or processing. If some people play through a game with this code change in place and report no serious issues then we might just release the updated file with the mod as a workaround.

    So I enabled GameEffectsLogLevel 4 and selected the Builder in my lag example savegame. I get 10,000 lines in the GameEffects.log all Created Requirement and Created Requirement Set. The game looks like it is recreating and reapplying every Requirement and Requirement Set every time I select a Builder which seems unnecessary for a UI process. Pretty sure this is a base game inefficiency now. When I disable the exclusion test in UnitManager.CanStartOperation for Build Improvement I get no extra lines in GameEffects.log. If you're interested this is all the work the GameEffects.log output when I simply select one Builder in the UI.

    The fix above has been released to Steam so we'll see what feedback we get:
    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/1461463960

    For the record, the lag is not actually caused by Terra Mirabilis - there are other mods in the GameEffects.log above. I think that because TM adds so many new Requirements and Requirements Sets it makes reloading them all on every Builder select a particularly bad thing.

    I've seen @dshirk comment on several of the threads in the Bug Reports sub-forum, but I haven't seen any "official" comment yet concerning this issue. Do we know whether FXS is even aware of this?
