     * GM: Pass two UIDs (Current node, target node), run C# A* pathfinding over the network, return either a list or UID. Probably needs GetConnected to check if two nodes are still linked.     * GM: Pass two UIDs (Current node, target node), run C# A* pathfinding over the network, return either a list or UID.

     * GM: SetConnectionLength [ UID UID Length - ]. Set to 0 to destroy the connection. Normal length would be the Euclidian distance, but Relays or "gates" could use this.     * GM: SetConnectionLength [ UID UID Length - ]. Set to 0 to destroy the connection.

-  * Freatures from the [[https://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=22809|PRPL+ compiler]] built-in, so that a 3rd party application isn't needed for compilation:+      * GM: Scriptable in CW3 for pre-placed units (linked to a Shield Key) or all units (requires packet to activate). 
 +  * Features from the [[https://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=22809|PRPL+ compiler]] built-in, so that a 3rd party application isn't needed for compilation:
     * Local variables: eigter implemented by simply renaming on compilation, or preferably have each function invocation have it's own variable heap, so that recursive functions are possible.     * Local variables: eigter implemented by simply renaming on compilation, or preferably have each function invocation have it's own variable heap, so that recursive functions are possible.

-  +  * stdout: Consider allowing map maker to create custom units like ParticleFleet. Units would have modules that can be placed. Blaster, Mortar, AC Sprayer, shield, etc. Example unit might carry 3 blasters, one mortar, and a beam. A energy storing module would be super handy. 
 +  * No more pixel/cell coordinates madness, just use the cell coordinates for everything, 1 cell = 1 field tile. 
 +  *TLFP: Opening power/energy to be produced in 4RPL

 +  * stdout: cool end-game CW1 style graphs showing creeper generation, energy usage, etc. 
 +  * stdout: Game saves all actions player takes, allows to save and export a "Instant Reply" movie that can be watched. Domonik, EA and AK could share their playthroughs via the forums. 
 +  * Suggestions for new player units 
 +    * Packet Factory/Packet Lathe: Uses Energy (Not Packets) and creates packets from the energy. Expensive to build and cannot move.

-   +  * Menu/Advanced/Extract Map Resources - this would create an editor folder with the relevant map, images, and scripts. 
 +  * Separate the text overlay for stacked enemy structures so they can all be seen (like when an emitter and a spore tower occupy the same place. In CW3 you can not read all the different texts.) Suggested by Domonik. 
 +   * A way to check what counts for victory in the editor. Maybe a red/yellow/green floating icon in edit mode - red counts, yellow doesn't, green is friendly.
