i Stationary docking & actions

lws

2 years ago

I noticed that my spidertrons sometimes rapidly dock and undock, probably due to its swaying. I can think of two solutions for this; either only dock when stationary (like at a waypoint), or by undocking further away than docking. This could also help with the overshooting issue from a previous thread by adding a small centering force to the spidertrons while docked.

Also, is it possible to have a setting for spidertrons to pause mid-route while it attacks or repairs? Currently I'd have to set a waypoint every 20 tiles or so to do this

Done in v2.2.0. Thanks for the suggestion!

Nice suggestion. It requires some more thought about how it would work with the current UI, and if I do add it, it won't be any time soon.
