i Road Tile Blacklist

26 days ago

Hey there! I'm absolutely loving the mod and glad someone picked it up to update it, i'm currently using it with Asphalt Roads Patched which works fantastic with it, but i'm having a minor nitpick in that I created a nice looking road blueprint book using asphalt and concrete tiles, but upset that the transport drones are driving on the concrete sidewalks half the time with the 140% speed boost instead of the asphalt with a 200% speed boost

It's a minor and aesthetic thing mostly, but i'd really love if we can pair the whitelist functionality currently in the settings with a blacklist functionality so I can stop them from driving on the sidewalks and use the roads as intended

Thank you a ton!

Are you, by chance, using Dectorio's concrete grid for your sidewalks? At a glance through the code (which does some complicated things with collision handling to make the drones stick to "road tiles"), I'm not seeing anything that should make the drones default to using base game concrete, brick, etc. pavement for roads. But the default whitelist does include "^dect%-concrete%-grid$", which activates use of that tile from Dectorio. That's in the mod startup settings.

Beyond that, my best guess would be the way they're handling "layers" applying those collision rules.

I'm using the default concrete, but I do have Dectorio and Asphalt Roads Patched installed, I removed the Dectorio whitelist tag and the behaviour is still the same.

To be clear it's not that the drones are prioritizing the concrete, except maybe in certain turns, but that I would like to disable the concrete as a "valid" road tile so they will only use asphalt

I recorded a quick demonstration of the very minor nitpick i'm trying to avoid here: https://youtu.be/9UIPt91nLqU
