i [Implemented] Automatic Docking

2 years ago

Is there a chance you could enable automatic docking via circuit network? Something like "If D is sent, then dock the closest dockable spidertron within 5. If U is sent, undock".

I'm using constructrons for automated construction and would like to automate that even further by just sending a spaceship with a docked constructron that then undocks once it's landed.

Hello! I've thought about that in the past, and it's definitely possible. I'd do it so that "D" recalls the last docked spidertron though.

As for timeline, this will take a bit of work so won't happen anytime soon. I think it would be a welcome addition though.

Thanks for the suggestion!
