Re: [MOD 0.13] Drones - remote control your factory

Post by iceman_1212 »

this happened a little while ago (shortly after 0.14 came out) but i totally forgot to mention it. (sorry!)

at one point, i ended up somehow losing control of one of my maintenance drones - he disappeared from my list of active drones and i was also not able to recover him using my character.

it was a bit unfortunate (and hilarious) because i was abusing the craftign speed research mod that game and my equipment assembly (furnaces, modules, etc.) was just a bunch of maintenance drones getting fed supplies via log bots and then speed producing items. well, the particular drone i lost control of had 1k+ of each type of T3 modules :o and it appeared he still continued working through his crafting queue of modules as log bots were continuing to deliver to him. unfortunately had to abandon the save because i didn't notice it for a while (so no autosave available prior to loss of control of drone).

it serves me right for abusing handcrafting but i thought i would mention it!

Strange. I never had this problem. And if you don't know how to reproduce it, it will be hard for me to isolate the problem...
If you have the problem once again, please try to remember what leads to it.

Well I still do not understand what happened, but I integrated a new interface function that you could use to rebuild the whole list of drones.
Please load your last save and try to type :

Code: Select all

/c remote.call( "drones", "rebuild", game.player )
It will clear the list and rebuild it. The list will not be in the same order as before, but you should find all your drones back, if they still exist on the map.
It supposes that you are the only player in your force, and that all drones of your force belongs to you.
Tell me if it worked. (update to last mod version before)
