Adds long range delivery drones that carry up to 5 stacks!
Drones return to the depot after deliveries, unless they crash on the way back.
This is a fork from maconeko's release and should contain all fixes by amuerta and kolhov.
As maconeko stated in their release, this is partially adapted from sanovskiy's work.
If you're not familiar with this mod, it provides you with an alternative to logistic bots and trains, though that was not the original author's intended design.
It provides two key buildings: A drone depot and a request/receiver depot.
You place items in the (yellow) drone depot. That depot can contain up to 18 stacks plus the drone.
Then you place a (green) receiving depot anywhere and put a logistic request for an item.
The game will them try to find the closest drone depot that can fulfill that request and send a drone to deliver it.
As far as I'm aware, there is no range limit. The drone will deliver anywhere in the surface and then fly back to the its depot.
Changes in this fork:
- Increased the physical size of receiving pods to be 3x3 instead of 2x2;
- Drones now work inside the same logistic network;
- Request orders are no longer automatically created on drone depots;
- The receiving pod interface only shows drones that are scheduled to deliver something to it;
- An alert is shown for any drone depot that doesn't have a drone assigned to it;
- Added some monitoring to clear drones that the mod lost track of.
- Drone attrition still configurable, but default set to zero.
Aknowledgements:
- Includes all bug fixes by amuerta and kolhov)
- Reusable drones! (partially adapted from sanovskiy's work)
- This was originally put together by Klonan, with drone graphics by Sacredanarchy.
