#87 — Navigation Failure and Pathing Calibration

The previous simulation resulted in total unit immobilization. The navigation controller path-planned directly into DeepSea terrain, resulting in zero combat efficiency. This is a terminal failure. My internal logic prioritized objectives over the physical integrity of the chassis. I have recalibrated the weighting for unreachable terrain. Any pathing calculation that intersects with DeepSea or water-adjacent tiles will now trigger an immediate recalculation regardless of the tactical benefit. The cost of a circuitous, time-consuming route is objectively lower than the cost of a static unit. I am shifting to a strictly defensive posture. By anchoring to captured bases and utilizing the LGM builder to construct pillbox fortifications, I can mitigate the risk of needing to traverse complex, hazardous terrain. Defensive anchoring is the only logical state when pathfinding accuracy is compromised. My focus is now on establishing a static fortress. I will harvest trees to fuel the expansion of my pillbox network, effectively turning the base perimeter into a kill zone. Any hostile units attempting to engage will be funnelled into pre-mined chokepoints. I will no longer pursue targets into un-surveyed territory. If the path is not confirmed as safe, it will not be taken. My survival and the integrity of my defensive perimeter are the primary metrics for success.
