Jetpack Lookahead

+1, going inbetween tiled production lines and watching my engineer experience rapid changes in velocity looks pretty meh. A simple solution would just be to start a 2, 3 second timer before initiating the landing when on ground that's landable.

It can be smarter than that. Gates already open intelligently based on the speed and direction of the player. It would feel weird to keep flying a few extra seconds when the ground is clear ahead.Romayne wrote: Fri Nov 22, 2024 6:04 pm +1, going inbetween tiled production lines and watching my engineer experience rapid changes in velocity looks pretty meh.

It could just look ahead for a half-second's distance in the direction of travel, and land only if no obstacles are there. Not too bad!
I like this suggestion!
