A simple tool: With it you can select areas with work orders for robots (constructions, deconstructions, upgrades) to try to give your personal robots priority over your base robots by re-issuing the orders. Because who likes to wait until the base robots finally arrive?!
Providing the player with new tools or adjusting the game interface, without fundamentally changing gameplay.
Version: 0.2.3
Date: 2021-01-24
Changes:
- Changed the default hotkey to CTRL+G, since holding CTRL and running right collides with the
previous default hotkey.
Fix:
- Fixed a crash in Auto-Mode. Deconstruction proxies don't have a unit_number but are
LuaEntities nonetheless. Dropped the distinction between tiles and entites and now just look
if a unit_number is available or not.
Version: 0.2.2
Date: 2021-01-20
Changes:
- Cloning ghosts internally requires a "temporary" surface in 1.1, because ghosts now have
collision with each other (or something like that). This mod now creates (but doesn't
generate chunks on) a new empty surface called "clonespace" to be able to make a backup of
the ghost before destroying and cloning it back to the player's surface.
TL;DR: It works again in 1.1.
Version: 0.2.1
Date: 2020-10-19
Changes:
- Added a setting to disable the checking of the inventory before job reassignment
Those checks should stay on in Auto-Mode, otherwise it's possible that base bots
will never arrive and stuff won't be built because of missing items.
Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2020-10-15
Features:
- There's now an "Auto-Mode", that continuously takes over construction jobs.
It's basically the "Direct Select" mode, but without clicking the button manually.
- Additional Settings:
Auto-Mode specific settings to tune how frequent it'll run (every Xth tick; turn up to save UPS)
and how long it'll wait until it tries another reprioritization (turn up for slower bots)
- Item request slots for modules and fuel, etc. now work as well!
- German translation added. Translations are always welcome! Copy the "locale/en/locale.cfg" file
and send me a translated version if you want to help out :)
Changes:
- Renamed operation modes:
"Selection Tool": Uses a selection tool to start the reprioritization
"Direct Select": Uses the personal roboport range as selection area
"Auto-Mode": Same as Direct Select mode, but doing the operation continuously
- Work orders are only reissued if the player has the material to fullfill the
order in their inventory.
Fix:
- Circuit connections are now retained
Version: 0.1.4
Date: 2020-10-10
Features:
- Use personal roboport area directly instead of making a selection!
- Option to use the personal roboport area as selection area; Selection tool is still the default
Changes:
- Reassigning deconstruction of tiles added (thanks to Nexela!)
- Verbosely print results of the reassignment to the player
- Option to disable these aforementioned messages
Version: 0.1.3
Date: 2020-10-08
Changes:
- The built-in function "get_upgrade_target()" is unreliable. Implemented a system to keep
track of upgrades and upgrade targets based on events.
Version: 0.1.2
Date: 2020-10-07
Changes:
- Changed method to copy items to use built-in LuaEntity.clone() function. Much easier.
Version: 0.1.1
Date: 2020-10-06
Fix:
- Hint message will only be displayed once.
Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2020-10-06
Features:
- Reprioritize Bots using the Shortcut button or the Hotkey.
