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.
