Auto-Loader Chest

by raley

This chest automatically refills turrets and fuel-burners on the map. It was inspired by ammo-loader+ but works with quality items, has shared storage per surface, and works in spaaaaace.

i Supply ammo to player

In addition to turret, the mod should resupply the players if they have guns that can use the ammo type in the chest. The chest should try to resupply all guns types, not just the currently selected gun types.

The chest should prioritize resupplying to player before turret.

What do you think about this?

Hi ankel, sorry for the slow reply.

It should be resupplying the characters guns, did it not for you?

I like the idea of prioritizing the player, I’ll look into making that change.

If you have personal logistics unlocked, then you need to have a request for the ammo you want in logistic requests in order for auto-loader to refill your ammo.

This is done because there needs to be a way to signify when you don't want ammo refilled, so that you can un-equip the guns. The game doesn't allow players to remove their guns if there is ammo equipped, so if the mod insta-refills ammo then you can't remove the weapons (to fly on a space ship or upgrade to a different gun type).

No, I did not have a request set for ammo. I guess that's why it didn't work before. I will test this later

I've been trying to think of a better way to handle this, maybe if the player manually removes their ammo the mod should wait a few seconds before refilling the spot. It feels like there isn't a good answer as I could see that being confusing too.

Hey ankel, I updated the mod to not require logistic requests anymore. Instead, it will always try to refill your guns ammo, and will wait a few seconds if you manually remove ammo in order for you to have time to remove guns too. The wait time is configurable in the settings menu.

I'm still going to add the player priority change. I just went down a rabbit hole on performance work and trying to fix the confusing behavior with logistics.
