It's been mentioned before a lot, thing is how do they know when to stop using the Phase gate (I.e. they have got the the correct phase gate?)

[Subach]

what do you mean correct phasegate the destination pg or the base pg?

[Subach]

up plz help meeeeee

I spose what they could do, use a PG, check the path length to their destination, use it again, check it again, and keep doing so until they find the original path length, then use them again until they're back at the shortest path they found...

Of course if you have like 10 PGs it could get rediculous but.. you know, whatever..

yeah but what if a phase gate is like near by its destination but the destination is actually thorugh a wall they can't get to and need to take a detour round it to get there... where another phase gate probably is tbh I can't be assed adding it, requires refactoring much of my code
