Another post about MA limits

It's another post about confusing limits. 

 

Outdoor maps usually have many detail slots. For example, we have the Neutropolis neighborhood below.

 

It has 33 allowed any detail type (33 Front, 33 Back). My hunch was I could put 33 + 33 details there. I couldn't. When I put 34 patrols, for example, I get errors:

 

Maybe it should be "33 allowed any detail type (Front & Back)".

Also, notice the second error message. It turns out, there is also a detail limit for each mission, similar to the ambush limit.

Yes the description is an error.  Outdoor maps do not have "fronts" or "backs", they are all one thing, so in your example you get 33 only, and only 11 collections.  There is also no way to set what spawns where outdoor, like if you wanted an AV to spawn towards the back of the outdoor map.  That can only be done on the indoor maps.

Out of curiosity, was this tested on multiple maps?

Only partially true.  Maps that have a defined indoor/outdoor split usually have the the outdoors as the Front and the indoors as the Middle and/or Back.

Pretty sure that bug is unique to the Praetorian maps. I encountered that one ages ago myself.
