Thank you, yes, great minds do think alike.
But Just GO! - for my use - is done. Complete. There are no features I want to add, with one exception:
- Automatically picking up the vehicle when the player disembarks - while obviously retaining the contents of any equipment grid.
However, when I made the mod I was unable to find a way of achieving this. There might be one, obviously, just that I didn't find it at the time. I haven't investigated it further.
I welcome suggestions, and can accomodate others by adding features they want. But then you have to ask for a specific one and be explicit.
I use this mod along with https://mods.factorio.com/mods/folk/folk-fill to fill the vehicles fuel and ammo slots.
Feedback-wise, for your mod; I would just say try to do less processing per tick (return early), and store the X/Y coordinates in their own variables instead of creating two new table{}s every tick per player.
In any case, I'm too tired to analyze it properly.
