v0.0.0.49 - Droid Update (part 1)
Worker droids are now powered! That means you'll need to have enough power generation to keep the droids batteries topped up to keep them working. It's all automated, droids will just move inside your station when idle or power getting low, and 'plug in' to the station on any floor tile and start charging.
This is just part 1 though, as lots of additions to go for the droids (see below) but thought id get a release out as its been a few weeks since the last one and there are a couple of fixes (delete selection bug and ore/metal storage/capacities not calculating correct). It's been a little longer as i also upgraded to GMS 2.3 and altered some of my code to use the new struct feature. Should make things a lot easier for me going forward.
Droid update part 2 - Next update i want to add in the droid maintenance unit i have previously mentioned. As well as charging bots quicker than current floor tile charge, you'll also be able to build further droids. So this release is probably the last time you can just spawn extra droids!
Other things on my droid to do list:- custom levels for when to charge, how much to charge, force charge/job. Better job selection (not just a straight work queue). droids should use more battery when using their thrusters outside. Efficiency of items, and a new work mode of 'maintenance' so that things run slower the less maintained they are. And lots of balancing!
We shall see how much of all this gets into part 2!
Cheerio for now.
