I know in general you can't stand on them, but in Runespan you can actually stand on platforms until you walk off them. Currently my bot can't create any paths outside of the current island because often you can just siphon nodes from the platform. I could make it walk off them, but a different solution would be optimal. @Cloud
As you can see, you can't walk onto the platform, but when you use it, you will end up on top of it, still able to interact with everything around you. Building a WebPath from on top of a platform to another island will always return null (I guess because normally the object isn't surpassable). Link version of image: http://i.imgur.com/NGSRQAW.gif
