Question: Ressourcen Probes rework

Post by Unglekus »

Hi

Is there a possibility when i will give my miner the order to extract ore/gase, a suitable area must first be marked with a probe and after this is done he fly only to this area and not through the whole system?



This would bring something deep into the management and give the probes a necessity.



I have no expirience in doing mods,so maybe there might be someone who is enthusiastic about this.

Hi Unglekus,

It's doable but would require several additional conditions. For example, consider several miners and several probes: Where should they go? Or a probe placed some time ago in a resource field that is now depleted. Of course you could script that interactive (player input), so that you decide to which probe a miner is assigned. This can get rather complicated.

Cheers Euclid
