If the ai reaches it, i can read in console: `4: ( 72x 52) expedition spot scoring, colony_scan_area == 34 4: Sunstone at 73x 48: PORTSPACE found, we valued it: 2 4: Sunstone at 73x 48: explore uphold, visited first time 4: Sunstone: continue island circumvention, dir=1` How can i force the ai to build a port at this place (the only port space)? Is there anything i can do, e.g. edit the map to make the AI `value it` higher? Fight simulator for Widelands: https://wide-fighter.netlify.app/ Top Quote

AI is using some checking radius and walk from the port space and if owned territory is found - the score is lower.
