NE Build and Repair System

Automatic repairing, welding and projection building. An optimized, weld-only fork of the Nanobot Build and Repair System.

[hr][/hr]

✦ What it does

• Repairs damaged and deformed blocks in its working area
• Builds projections: places and welds projected blocks automatically
• Collects floating objects and the inventories of dead characters and bags (fly mode)
• Fetches components from all connected inventories and pushes collected items back into your containers

✦ What's new in NE

• Weld only: all grinding and janitor functions are removed. This mod never dismantles a block.
• AtlasGridScan: one shared search per group of connected grids instead of one search per system. Measured with 12 systems: background load about 45 → 9 ms per second.
• Color coded terminal: the status line shows at a glance what every system is doing.
• Working collect priority and readable, translated priority lists
• Many fixes, see the change notes

✦ Terminal settings

• Welding: build projected blocks, weld to functional only, ignore color, priority list per block class
• Collecting: priority list per item class, collect only if idle, push ore/ingots, items or components immediately
• Area: width, height, depth and offsets (default 150 × 150 × 150 m), show area
• Script control: targets are picked by a programmable block

✦ Ownership

Works on blocks of the owner and of friendly players and factions. Neutral, unowned and enemy blocks are not touched. Components are only taken from friendly inventories.

✦ Scripting

Programmable blocks can read and control the system through terminal properties, for example BuildAndRepair.PossibleTargets, BuildAndRepair.MissingComponents, BuildAndRepair.CurrentTarget, the priority lists and BuildAndRepair.ProductionBlock.EnsureQueued (queue missing components in assemblers).

✦ Languages

English, German, Russian (follows the game language)

✦ Notes

• Uses the same block IDs as the original Nanobot Build and Repair System. Do not load it together with the original or other forks.
• The terminal info contains color tags. Scripts that read CustomInfo will see them in the text.
