No command center in shelter woods

[DRIFTER]

Is it disabled? Playing for a couple dozen hours, never see it. I don't suppose an offering can spawn it?

I just played on the map today. Only way to get the map intentionally is burn the map offering and cross your fingers.

I've generally been on that map a single time since release n already forgot about it

You don't mean that the command center itself isn't spawning on the map, right? Because otherwise, yeah, the map just shows up randomly like the rest.

Yes that's what I meant. I have NEVER seen a command center at all. Not even once. Considering that it's tied to an achievement for gen repair, I'm starting to think this is worse than operation breakout, the previous contender for pain and frustration.

Jocelyn if you are reading this, please tell the team to re-evaluate map specific challenges in light of precisely how rare it is in the pool to get the variant you need. It's no joke when the map is one out of dozens, with chances in the single digit percentages - on top of the actual risk of a proficient opponent that prevents your ability to complete it.

I didn't believe it but this seems to be correct.
After ~50 hours, not once did command center organically spawn.
Using the bone offering, 2/3 generated a command center.

TLDR - if you're going for the achievement you need to collect map offerings and burn them until you complete it.

Shelter woods can spawn without the command post? so far all my games have contained the command post

Unless I'm confusing the name, the wooded map on macmillian estate never spawned one before today without using an addon, for me. Maybe I'm RNG cursed.

One fix to this would be to spawn it as a tile instead of a map variant, there are so many that the chances of encountering one you want for this are very small.

I have been sent to shelter woods a few times and it always has a command centre. I'm not sure it comes without it anymore?
