[2.0.12] Using pipette on ore patch in remote view brings burner mining drill instead of the unlocked drills

Post by RusselRaZe »

If I'm doing the pipette on a resource patch locally, it brings up the highest level drill I have in my inventory. However, in remote view, it just brings up the burner mining drill, since I assume the game thinks I don't have any drills in my inventory while in remote view.

I will consider this to be more of a suggestion (and move out of bug reports) because technically this behavior is correct: this logic selects highest speed drill you have in inventory and remote view does not have inventory so it tries to give anything. Since in SA there is quite significant pressure for using remote view on different planets i decided it does not make sense to use your character inventory item counts but instead the drill selected will be the highest unlocked drill for your force. In this shape i implemented this for 2.0.15.
