	The AI tries to place buildings in an outward spiral, once a valid building location is found, devoid of unbuildable terrain or [[Overlays]] it will attempt to place the building. Any of its own units obstructing the placement will be ordered to vacate any cells intended for the building, but enemy units present or units unable to move in time will cause its attempts to fail. This tag defines how many failures before it abandons placement.

If the AI gets hung up on thinking it can place something but being unable to clear the space (too jammed with units for example) then it abandons that action after this many failures. The AI will wait for the number of frames specified in PlacementDelay= before trying again so that you can tell how long it will try for it.
