[X3LU] EasyConnect - Complex Connector

Post by Joubarbe » Mon, 15. Jun 15, 12:55

Version 1.1 (Litcube's Universe only)
18/02/2016

Download from Mediafire

So you like Tornado missiles, right ? And you want to build 30 factories able to build them and rock your world ? But seeing that you have to connect 30 factories to 15 complex construction kits manually, you rage quit X3 and go back to play Candy Crush ?

Well, these times are over. With this script, you just have to follow these instructions :

1. Assign a hotkey to EasyConnect.
2. Build one Complex Hub in your current sector. You don't need more than one !
3. Build all your factories around your Hub (25km max).
4. Press the hotkey.
5. Et voilà ! Now all your factories are connected to your Complex Hub. If you want to build another complex, or connect more factories to the previous one, just press the hotkey and don't worry : the script checks for all your factories and auto-connect them to the nearest hub.

----------------------------

Version 1.1 adds compatibility with Mayhem 1.02, in order to avoid connecting sanctuaries with complex hubs.

But yours "EasyConnect - Complex Connector" connect a lot of stations with Saturn Complex Hubs or ordinary Complex Hubs ?

Ordinary ones of course... Why would it connect stations to Saturn Complexes ?

Thanks for answer.

Why?
To have Saturn Complex Hubs with the same type of station e.g
Saturn Complex Hubs require to be a self-sustaining complex.
But self-sustaining complex is you know very expensive.
Better have e.g 30 stations the same type on the start in complex, this is whay we build ordinary complex not saturn complex
am I wrong ?

anyway your EasyConnect is useful thank you very much:)

To have Saturn Complex Hubs with the same type of station e.g
I'm not sure to understand you correctly... So you want to connect your factories to SCH ? There's no point doing that. SCHs build one product from different levels of production capabilities.

And your example doesn't explain why you would want that. You state at the end that it is better to have 30 stations building the same product, because it's less expensive than SCHs. Yeah, I agree... That's why EasyConnect is for. There are no links between vanilla complexes and SCHs.

Just because one station (Saturn Complex Hub) slows down the game less than 30.
So far only I put Saturn Complex Hubs

Is there any chance of this getting a vanilla port?

It's a very good time-saver.

Manually constructing complex hubs from tons of stations is such a tedious time-consuming job.

In fact. I was wondering if there's a way to simply bypass the 'cutscene' that gets initiated whenever you build/connect stations.

There's no script command, neither for MSCI nor MD, to connect factories in the vanilla game. So unless, the respective hardcoded function is ported from LU - which I doubt is that easy - porting this script won't be possible.

When you place stations via script, there's no cutscene.

What a shame. In conjunction with Heph's Station building corp mod this would've made complex building completely automated and easy.

Reason I asked about cutscene, having now mentioned hephaistos, was when one would want to be cheap about it, since it costs a bit more using that service per labour costs. Oh well.

Hello,
Will this mean i only have to buy 1 complex construction kit?

(now you should ask : "but Joubarbe! what is this awesome thing you're talking about? Sanctuaries?" ... That is indeed the question!)

There's no complex hubs in Mayhem 2.

I am having a problem with easy connect not working with a fusion beam factory. I have been using it for all manner of set ups, and it has been working flawlessly. However, no matter how close I place this factory, it does not connect.

Of note, It does go through the usual process of connecting (as opposed to the error when trying to connect a factory to far away) but after the 'done' message, there remains the two factories (the main group--has about 15 factories connected) and the fusion beam one.

Any idea what might be causing this?
