Summary0019519: Sending units through wormhole requires too much precision
DescriptionTrying to send units through a wormhole is way too finicky--it's very difficult to select it without zooming way in

The wormholes themselves don't need to be bigger, but the targeting area should be, especially at farther zoom levels

There was a bad snapping bug due to the near clipping plane causing raycast precision issues in version 0.714 and before. 0.715 is going to be out later today; can you retest in that and see what you think? I think the primary issue was probably the snapping of the cursor more than anything else.

Thanks -- it may be a double problem, but I want to see about this one first.

seems a bit more responsive, but frankly I think this could still use more improvement, especially when theres a bunch of units cluttered by the wormhole and it's not clearly visible

We could just make the wormhole a bit bigger?

* Wormholes are now vastly larger -- over 3x wider -- and no longer spherical. Instead, they are more of an oval, and they're ringed by a large and scary-looking human-made piece of machinery that nobody can attack.
** This is more in keeping with the lore, anyhow, in that humans found the wormholes and then had to somewhat create the network. It's a bit like the gates in The Lost Fleet series, kinda-sorta.
** This makes them way easier to click, without making them look goofy -- in fact, they look cooler than ever.

Thanks!
