Yep, and it’s dynamic so when new tunnels are created and old ones get clogged with corpses, the AI will always know the path of least resistance to their targets – even if it means digging through lots of material!
This will change the necessity to heap tons of stupid AI guys on you like we used to do in the test builds. Now only a handful of smarty enemies should make a much more fun challenge than before.
It also means your own AI-controlled bodies can be commanded more specifically and be able to carry out much more complex tasks. Don’t want to bother digging that tunnel yourself? Just send one of your drones to do it for you, and he’ll expertly avoid rocks and other subterranean obstacles on the way.

Jeez people, stop fighting. You guys are gettin’ crazy in here.
Just sit back and chill. CC is coming, new updates are on their way, mods are getting better and better… just sit back and ride it. 8)

Umm… mods aren’t getting any better, because the FORUMS ARE DOWN. in case you hadn’t noticed.

Which is exactly why the mods shouldn’t be on a forum anyway.

Although I agree that there should be some financial compensation, you should try and do 2 releases so that the mod community can still be alive.
You can release a souped-up single-player version with campaigns and potentially internet play, and then you can release a LAN/split-screen multiplayer version which is free. Obviously the souped-up one comes with what the free version does as well as cost money.
The Mod community is what got me most interested in this game.
