Hmm. From what I understand, the changes will allow you to make pathfinding requests, and the assign the calculated path to a unit. This should make it possible to drop the invisible biter approach.

On top of that, general improvements should make it less quirky in general.

Crushed when a vehicle that is driven by player is switched AI state to ON running with "Pavement Drive Assist" MOD. 346.863 Error MainLoop.cpp:1035: Exception at tick 3684152: Error while running event aai-programmable-vehicles::on_tick (ID 0) Error while running event PavementDriveAssis...

No they dont, they fall behind... Oh, this MIGHT be a problem then. My aim was to create blueprints that are UPS-friendly. My knowledge is quite marginal so all i did was reducing the ticks for the scanners and controllers. You could try to use one building to command multiple units. Use timing.

Thank you for your answers. Sadly there was no option to change Y key until I reinstalled your mod. I just wanted you to know ;) Confused robots - I saw in some mod option to disable roboports when moving. Maybe that could help a little, so I can send vehicle somewhere, than wait until job is done ...

Suggestions: 1) Button to cancel select single vehicle when selected multiple ones 2) Vehicle groups 3) Option to follow waypoints using pathfinding. Now it goes directly towards waypoint, regardless whats in between. Its useless in non-clear area, as any rock can stop vehicle following path AFAIK ...

It looks like my question may have went unseen. How exactly does the 'work every X tics' function work? Does it inudce a CD starting with the moment you press OK and every time the device works? Or does the CD start only when the device gets a viable signal packet? There is no "gets a viable s...

possible add operator for make tan(x/y) for calcul angle of move vector and escape stupid path finding betewn 2 point. Because make tangent with factorio operator is realy crazy I think that this is what the subtiles are for. If you imput them as a movement command, the vehicle will convert them to...

Optimize your setup to use as few controll structures as possible, and don't zone mark the entire map.

The mining vehicle looks like it is digging up earth and sorts out the usable ores. When you do that in real live you are left with a hole. See open-pit mine in google or wikipedia. So why not do this in factorio too? When you mine ore and exhaust the tiles under the miner the terrain should be low...

I had problems with the Warden too. I think I still have a save where it's easy to recreat the crash. I'm trying AAI again and having a lot of fun with it in my Angel+Bobs+Py run. One problem though is that every vehicle put down starts in Auto:Off (blue) AI mode when placed. If I try to mine it it ...

Not possible. But you can make a (bunch of) constant combinators that output all zones and then multiply that with the signals you have leaving only the zones. A * B = ((A + B)^2 - (A - B)^2) / 4. Not possible technically, or just not posible with the current version? And another thing, I have a qu...

Also sorry for double posting, but I have a question to the mod author. Do you ever plan to add an 'any zone' signal? Like the 'anything', except it only looks at zone signals. Is it even possible? I'm trying to build a simplified command unit that can order all of my miners and haulers, and I manag...

*Snip* If you just look at the video, recreating the scanner shouldn't be too hard. What it does it simple: it selects a center point, then selects a distance, then calculates the starting and ending X\Y coordinates. Then, it scans the first X and Y, following by increasing the X coordinates until ...

While i appreciate the BP. As i said in my previous post I have already tried the BP strings that are on the first page for this mod. For some reason i cant get them to work. Every time i try and input a string i get an error code. This BP I made when I told you Im going to make you one. I made it ...

I suppose you know how to scan tiles. Output is X and Y coords plus what is on it. So you make IF function which when true will send wanted zone to that X Y coords. Im gonna do some BP for you ;) EDIT: Here it is: 0eNq9mNuSojAQht8ll1tgEQ6CXOyLbFkUQnRSCwmVBJWd4t03wcOwSsQwsDdqhPzp9Nf9c/gEu6JGFcNEgPgT...

I was watching Stejoes videos on how to use this mod and he had an iterative scanner to place zones which looked better than the default zone place. But he wont explain it because he believes that you learn better by doing. Problem is even though i have tried to figure out combinators. I just dont ...

What I thought it was is that you can program the chip, and then it can be assigned to vehicles in the vehicle data, and the vehicle will perform the instructions the chip recives. Like a player selected ID.

Gonna ask again, what doe the 'Chip' virtual signal does? I'm really curious about it, if it's what I think it is, it should open some excelent possibilities.
