KFS or Jeff or someone may show up and give a properly informed answer.
My guess is that this is part of the enforced resource model that Flayra and co. have put into the game. The purpose of this to prevent mappers like you from totally unbalancing it by giving too many resources :razz:

I think numresources is just a feature that isn't implemented. You are right in thinking that any resource node will give out res forever, but I think once numresources has been reached, if there is no RT on the node, that white smoke will no longer come out of the node (even though a RT built on it will still give resources). Perhaps they thought that by limiting the res per node, they could stop games being too drawn out, then decided not to have this feature at the last minute or something. Whatever the case, you do not need to wory about any of the func_resource settings; it will just work straight away.

I think I read that this was a valid key, but became obsolete during testing.

Correct, the number used to be used to specify nozzle resource amounts and was then removed later on in testing as gameplay advanced and evolved.
I can honestly say that I have no idea whether or not this may be added back in for the future, but for the time being it's a non-functional key - so don't plan on using it.

Since the answer to the original question didn't help you, I think it'd
be wise to post a seperate topic. That way, when your question gets
answered it goes into the database. :smile:

A res tower for each team automatically gets built on the closest node to a teams starting hive or CC when the game starts, you don't have to place one. If you only have one node in the map, or the same node is the closest one for both teams, this would seem to be the 'bug' you would see.
To solve it, make sure each hive has a node near to it that isn't the node closest to the CC, and that you have more than one node in the map.
