CO autosearch distance is broken (keeps adding far stuff that should be out of reach)
Disclaimer: This had been reported repeatedly, but I cannot find a previous thread, so adding this on.

User Tranqu summed this nicely in annoying defects II thread

I definitely have constructions that should be out of range, but one of the farthest construction offices keeps being added to those, even though their auto search is way more restrictive( it shows the area of search range in yellow).
This is annoying, because it causes lone trucks to drive 3-4km+ trips and holds up the construction, because closer trucks could get there much faster.

This seems very annoying. Am I doing something wrong? Is the Batch-Start function maybe always behaving this way(as in adding the construction to all possible construction offices?)

All I could do was to agree. For this very reason I play mostly without autosearch on. Started it yesterday in my main old, big city (was adding few paths and roads, didn´t wanna care much).

CO autosearch range is set to 2000m (covers city + nearby roads and small industries). So what did it do?
Yes, it added to iself a SEWAGE SUBSTATION from a city 4 KM (!) AWAY (air distance, driving distance is ca 5,5 km).

WTF bro?

You can imagine that the substation would be the last one finished out of it´s surrounding sites. I have no idea why this happens, but it was happening 2 years ago as well, 1 year ago to when I tried and is happening now again. I have no idea what the logic behind it is, but please make it stop.

Are they part of the same group of COs in Construction Office Assign Tool?

This auto search is weird. It was always like this: they had 3km or 3,5km of range but in reality anything at 5km gets assigned, but it seens to me there is a ~20 jobs limit, that past that they don't do this anymore.

Can confirm this problem, my COs are grouped in the Tool by City, but when building in a neighbouring city (completly out of range) they still get assigned which delays the build.
In some phases i just disable auto-assign temporarily to avoid the issue.
Same thing sometimes happens with the Demolition Office aswell.

Not in my case, had one group per city excluding workers and cranes, and one extra per city for workers and cranes.
Now when batch starting constructions in one city that should be out of range of the other offices, some offices from the other cities assign themselves. They do not share a construction office group.
It seems the distance is calculated wrongly or the distance filter is not applied in the auto search logic.

It is actually especially annoying in early start, because one of the connecting roads is gravel and some of the dumpers in the one city are still slow ones. So I am waiting for a substation to recieve its 350kg of asphalt which is delivered from 4km ground distance away with a 30 km/h truck. While there is a literal newer asphalt dumper ready and waiting 5 meters way.
of course this could be micro managed away, but would be great when the autosearch wasn't broken aswell

Not at all. I have different groups based on area of operations. The substation in my case was already assigned to group 5 from city 3 km away (middle west group). After enabling autosearch for some offices in main city (group 3 aka middle east group), one of them immediately dispatched a dumper truck that would need to drive 6,5 km to the site (around 4,5 from the CO + 1km detour each diretion for gravel pickup).

Not a great result.

Also groups should not matter anyway, as CO assignment tool was closed all the time and not used (seware substation was assigned to group 5 BEFORE allowing autosearch for group 3).

This is the reason why autosearch is disabled in my plays usually. Makes things much faster to group assign via COassigment tool grouping.

Yes, after ca 20 tasks in mind, CO stops searching alltogether usually. Which then can lead to further slowdowns, because sometimes each CO finds different tasks and thus in larger building sites are not always all offices assigned together to some buildings. So CO assignment tool is still needed anyways.

At that point I am turning of autosearch because I need to manage sites anyway and turning off autosearch actually speeds up things alltogether
