Any comments, feedback etc. leave them here for me.

It has 15 different old timey ragtime tunes at the moments, i may release add on packs as the time goes on




Special thanks to YuokiTani for the incredible sprite and animation

you know already, this mod catches me - for me one of the essential mods.

I understood the essence?
I start playing and come running to me a bunch of enemies? *

Maybe they like to find out whats making such sweet tunes

But really this does nothing to the biters to make them do anything (its just a roboport)

Already I hope you've sat by and listened to the whole collection with your bots, let me know when you need more tracks

This is nice, but is there any reason not to put it into Non-game-changing board?

Well its not 'game changing' in the sense that it doesnt affect gameplay,

But it is a new entity, and adds its own functionality in that way, its something not in the game already, and thus extends a players game experience

Also it charges bots, so it does affect gameplay

First of all: great job on the visuals!

Do I guess right when I say that this is basically a roboport with a different skin?
In this case I'd say the category should be non game changing. The colored lights and locomotives and such are also in that category and reskinning the roboport is pretty much the same thing?

It's a new entity. That's all that's needed to make it game changing. You remove the mod and buildings disappeae? Game changing.

yes, to discuss in which mod-category a mod should go is the best way to motivate mod-authors.
i suggest ban, because it fits not perfect in a catagory !

Thanks for this mod Klonan - and i have it downloaded before i can't found again in the forum-depth.

Of course, cynicism is a good way to respond to a constructive discussion.

i like this alot but is this just vanilla ? or combatebul with mods, like bobs mod with mk2 and 3 versons ov the roboport, and if not , will it just change the mk1 standard ?

It adds a new roboport, and its compatible with any and every mod in the world

No problem

I have seen to have run into a problem with this mod. Every time I place down the Piano, it turns into a Roboport with a normal Roboports range. I hear no music playing out of this Piano-Robotport either. I hope somebody can help me with that problem @-@

The piano is a roboport, and you need to stand near it to hear the music

How do you go about adding to the song list? Whenever I start up it loads the mod just fine but when it start to load the sounds it says "song name" not loaded! (with song name being whatever I try to put in).
