Formerly known as Aggressive Autopilot, Advanced Autopilot make your submarine's AutoPilot more aggressive and gives it the ability to pilot to mission locations that appear on sonar.

"Aggressive" in this case means the AutoPilot will accelerate to higher velocities, start tracking toward further points on its path earlier, and has had its object avoidance protocols tuned down significantly—ice spires and walls no longer cause the AutoPilot to have a complete panic attack.

To use the pilot to mission locations feature, just flip the autopilot to the center position, the one now named "Pilot to Objective(s)". This replaces the original pilot to level start option, as I figured that option is rarely, if ever used. The AutoPilot will then head toward whichever uncompleted mission target is the closest straight-distance from the start of the level, which should be optimal in most cases.

The primary intent of this mod is to help players escape from being totally forced into the captain role in singleplayer campaigns, but it probably would be nice in multiplayer as well to give the captain a break from steering.

It is impossible for me alone to test every possible scenario the autopilot could run into, so if you notice any wonky behavior, let me know the specifics and I'll see if there's anything I can do to address it.

Requires LuaCsForBarotrauma, and as it relies on C# scripting, it requires you enable that in the LuaCsForBarotrauma settings.

NOTE: From version 1.1.3 onward, "Aggressive" functionality can now be disabled by modifying the config located in the ModConfigs folder. For Windows users, that will be in "%localappdata%\Daedalic Entertainment GmbH\Barotrauma". The folder/file will be created if they do not exist, but note, you'll first need to load into a campaign with this mod active to generate the folder/file.
