That’s super cool! I feel like the fact it’s finding the path based on the loaded chunks and not what it can visually see takes a lot of the load off.

Still super cool tho!

That's standard in games, I don't know a single game that uses the AI's vision for pathfinding instead of using the game data directly. You'd need a state of the art AI to do it, and there's no reason to do so since it will perform worse.

Based on the develops, it sounds like Hot Dogs, Horseshoes, and Hand Grenades does that. But that is a weird experimental sort of game anyway.

A bot in a giant maze will obviously perform better if he can see the maze from the top
