[Request]: Automatic Blueprint placing.

Post by TheVeteraNoob »

I'm really sorry for requesting something so darn hard to make but every time I keep having to expand the whole thing over and over again I keep wishing this was a thing. I tried to be as speficic as possible to help with creators block on the mod.
Ideas:
- Blueprint placer bot
- Flies in construction network
- Can recieve relative or world coordinates from a circuit signal.
- Sends a signal to the blueprint hub (Described below) of the current item beneath it when not moving. (maybe treat this as a filter?)
- Actually shows red rectangle when placing deconstruction planner.
- Can use rail planner
- Looks like a quadrocoptor with a scanner that turns the ground green when enabled.
- Blueprint hub
- A placable object to store blueprints.
- All circuit related conditions in this mod should go through this device.
- Blueprint hub must be in the same network as the blueprints used.
- Deconstruction planner can be sent by signalling oposite corners of an area. (If possible make this a disableable feature)
- In my mind I see a futuristic looking jukebox with antenna for circuit connectors on top.
- New decider combonator
- Converts a signal from underneath a blueprint bot into an actual usable circuit signal.
e.g. If (bot.signal== iron_ore) output Blue signal value=5
- Gets signals through logistic network
- Can be attached to other bots.
- Looks like a mix between a constant combinator and a decider combonator.

Thanks for actually reading through this whole thing. If part of it is either too much work or impossible I totally get that.
The graphics at the end of each idea were just my thing. They might actually look terrible. Nothing is set in stone.


My apologies to the mods of this forum. I likely broke some sort of rule as that is usually how my luck goes with forums where I don't instantly find the rules. Please have mercy on me :D
