g Add tile ghost under pipe

1 year, 1 month ago

Mod does not create a ghost tile when placing a ghost pipe on water/space/lava.

What tile would you expect to be used?

1 year, 1 month ago

Lindfield on Nauvis and Gleba, space platform foundation in space, ice platform on Aquilo, foundation on Vulcanus and Fulgora

Basically the same tiles that will be placed with force build

Any chance this feature will be implemented?

Yeah. This is a great feature request. I'll add it next time I'm working on this mod, probably soon.

Done!

(except ice platform, which doesn't allow building pipes)

Thank you!

What about concrete when this Mod tries to build a pipe on a ice platform?
Why not Ice Platforms?

Basically my Robots get stuck like this.

The Mod makes a ghost pipe.
But no one place concrete

I haven't been to Aquilo yet to learn the mechanics there. I'll experiment more in editor mode to confirm the correct order of operations. You expect it to add a concrete ghost on an existing ice platform?

1 year, 1 month ago

yes exactly.
ice platforms would be nice too but that missing feature doesnt hold my bots hostage.

Ha-ha, landed on Aquilo and immediately ran into the same problem! Came here to report and check if it's known. Would be nice if it behaved like the force build (at least when you applied it)

Would either of you be willing to test this branch? It should work for ice platforms and concrete (or refined concrete if that's what you're using), but it involves a major refactor of the logic and API used for all cases so it needs to be thoroughly tested.

I tested your build link. I found a couple of bugs and made issues in your githib.
Hope you can fix these.

The feature of placing tiles under the connections works gerat!

I'll report more if I find any.

This should work in the latest version. Thanks for testing!
