Removes Obstructing Overgrowth, for Transit - Autonomous Vehicle equipment.

Autonomous vehicles from AAI Programmable Vehicles have no player input to route around obstacles, so they can get physically stuck against trees. This mod adds two pieces of vehicle equipment to help deal with that.

Grubber

Reactive. When your AAI-controlled vehicle is actively trying to move but physically blocked by trees, the Grubber powers on and marks a nearby tree for deconstruction every few seconds until the vehicle is free again.

Trimmer

Passive. As your AAI-controlled vehicle roams, the Trimmer marks one tree for deconstruction, gradually clearing paths over time.

Requirements

  • A vehicle with an existing equipment grid — this mod never adds grids itself. Some AAI vehicles ship with one (e.g. Laser Tank); others need something like Krastorio 2 to provide one.

Notes

  • Only one of each equipment piece is useful per vehicle.
  • Marked trees still need construction robots nearby to actually clear them; marking alone doesn't remove anything.
