Hello,
I have implemented A* pathfinding project with my GOAP engine and it’s so far been worth every penny. Definitely the best asset I have ever purchased on the store and will help me scale my simulation game.
I have been wondering if it is possible to use the a* algorithm with a producer/consumer network. In this case a network would be made of produces and consumers in a non-directed graph. Consumers would produce a value the the producer… produces. I can imagine using a* to iterate through the producer nodes and find connected consumers with a multi-target path. The aspect I cannot see a clear resolution to is updating the specific producers/consumers when an edit is made the network e.g. two nodes in the graph that were once connected become disconnected. Is there a simple way in the project to achieve this? Also if anyone has any suggestions for doing this system from end to end that would be great.
Thank you,
Alex
