But then Mk2 requires the Mk1 to be researched so in the end you do require the logistics 3 researchedBoogieman14 wrote:Like the idea of this mod, my new game hasn't unlocked them yet, but I just noticed a (very minor) inconsistency in the research requirements. The Mk1 and Mk3 miners both require Logistics 3, while the Mk2 miner only requires Logistics 2. Yes, it is minor, I'll just refer you to my signature

Code: Select all
if ent ~= nil then
Commenting out that if-block made the unloader work. Next problem I ran into was that the mk1 unloader would stop at 800 units (16 stacks) while there's supposed to be room for 22. Guess that's a reason not to hardcode those kinds of limits (also, why don't you use the can_insert() test of the container? As an added advantage, that'd also make the unloader still work with non-standard stacksizes )Yea it sortoff is, but its a nice little message ^_^Another minor thingy: when you remove an ore unloader, there's a message in the console ("Removed: ore-unloader"), I'm guessing that's some kind of leftover debugging message
Thats really odd i just checked in my game and yea it doesnt work for me either so i got to find out whyAlso, could you write a quite guide on how the unloader works, because I can't seem to get it working. Probably overlooking something way obvious, but I've tried placing it next to both horizontal and vertical track, but it isn't doing anything at all...
!Thats a very important thing because what if ent is equal to nothing then the game will crash, if not continue*edit* Took a look through the code and came acrossin the On_Built() function. Not sure what you're trying to accomplish there.Code: Select all
if ent ~= nil then
! AKA if ent does not equal to nothing then do stuff end

!You're setting ent in the very next line, so the starting state of ent doesn't matter at all (actually, I'm not entirely sure how lua handles this, but you're setting local ent in the next line, the if statement might be testing against a global ent - a different variable altogether)jorgenRe wrote: Thats a very important thing because what if ent is equal to nothing then the game will crash, if not continue
I guess that makes sense, not sure if that test is at all required, if On_Built ever gets called without a proper event argument, that probably means kovarex has screwed up big time (and it would also likely mean any mod that uses On_Built is blowing up)Better safe than sorryBoogieman14 wrote:You're setting ent in the very next line, so the starting state of ent doesn't matter at all (actually, I'm not entirely sure how lua handles this, but you're setting local ent in the next line, the if statement might be testing against a global ent - a different variable altogether)jorgenRe wrote: Thats a very important thing because what if ent is equal to nothing then the game will crash, if not continue
*edit* ninja'd by your edit
!!In this situation, it wouldn't have mattered because you were declaring the local ent before using it. Also, global in this case means global to your mod. It won't ever interfere with any variable also called ent in any other mod.jorgenRe wrote:Boogieman14 wrote:jorgenRe wrote: Though when an ent is saved in a global table then it is really really important to check if it still exists
Mining speed seems ok, considering the power draw (at least for the Mk1, haven't done the math for the others yet).AlexTheNotsogreat wrote: - Nerf the mining speeds on the excavators, they are too fast in my opinion
That is totally up to you to choose whether you want something to look different for some extra costs or not,Boogieman14 wrote:Mining speed seems ok, considering the power draw (at least for the Mk1, haven't done the math for the others yet).AlexTheNotsogreat wrote: - Nerf the mining speeds on the excavators, they are too fast in my opinion
Mk1: coverage 121 tiles, speed 7, power 1.6MW
Individual Electric miners: 5 units cover 125 tiles, combined speed 2.5, combined power 450kW
So for a bit over 3 times the power draw you get a bit under 3 times the mining output. And then I haven't even looked at the cost of these monsters. Purely from a materials cost perspective, these machines probably aren't anywhere near worth it.
!Thanks for the tips yea i guess i could look into using the shif function to decrease its size. I havent touched it yet, but i guess i couldAlexTheNotsogreat wrote:Here are a few things I would suggest for this mod.
- Improve the textures, make them more then solid, dark colors
- Nerf the mining speeds on the excavators, they are too fast in my opinion
- Resize to make, for example, the MK1 Not crazy big.
But you can take your time with this, I am a patient one. Cool mod nonetheless.

Alright, I understand how you can be busy with other stuff. I was actually worried I was pushing you by making this to perfect this mod. But, again, take your time!jorgenRe wrote:Thanks for the tips yea i guess i could look into using the shif function to decrease its size.

But right now i'm currently working on another mod(The Underground) seeing as this mod, it is working, but seeing as there are alternatives for this kind of mod i'm not 100 % working on it, though i will return. Its just that what im working on now and then later the next mod after that is going to be something much more unique
The next planned mod i have will be a mod that adds in new kinds of enemies that will require you to actually upgrade your defenses in a way you havent done before.
Thank youAlexTheNotsogreat wrote:[quote="jorgenRe"

P.S. The underground mod sounds and looks amazing~
!Hmm.. how odd :/klanticus wrote:It looks like the Ore unloaders are causing desyncs in multiplayer games. I didn't heavily tested to make sure it was the culprit, but I've started getting desyncs after placing a few of them. After we removed, no more desyncs happened. The excavator doesn't seem to cause any problem.
!Okay i think you may have used the wrong version or something because firstly there is nothing wrong with the version on the folder name and in the info file.AnarCon wrote:hmm bug report first it was a error with a case sensitivity on the mod name which btw wasnt updated, it was looking for BigDrill_0.3.3
and second when i did correct that this one poped up http://puu.sh/kO0oD/18da40de52.png
