CURRENTLY ONLY A COPY FROM THE FORUMS!!
The last type of nodes are chain nodes. They refer to the solutions of other sources. Say you wrote a really great search which takes you from A to B. But you also wanted to see a path to C. You can use chaining to get a route from A to B to C. You use the destination of the first search as the start of the second search. Just pick the path to get the information from. Then select whether you want to copy the info from the source, destination or all points. In this case you would select destination. Then just press the Chain button to create the node. The all points option might seem confusing at first, but imagine you have an existing route named "GoodPath" set up, going from A to B, but you need to stop at a Bio_Diverse planet along the way to pick up some food. Create a new path with the source as a Chain Node by selecting "GoodPath" and the "All Points" option. Then use a regular Criteria Node as the destination. Now you have a second path that represents the route to the closest bio_diverse planet along the way. Sort of like finding the closest hotel from the highway when you are planning a long trip.
