Description (last modified by Langbart)

A typical feature of RTS games is that heavily damaged buildings automatically unload all the units inside. In 0ad, there is no visual notification indicating that the building needs to be repaired in order to re-enter it.
Below are two cases where this issue has been reported.

09:10 < David_Longbotum> in the game during multiplayer i often run into this problem where I can not garrison my units into a captured Civic Center.
09:10 < David_Longbotum> i don't know if it is a bug. just tired of it


Ideas for a possible solution could be:

  • adding a status bar icon

  • adding an icon above the structure or

  • a special texture overlay.
