[SOLVED] Surviving Mars

Updated [Link]
Bumped the RC Transport storage capacity amount given to 256 (from 100)
Fixed waste storage not storing waste

Nope still has the issue with the drone hub controlled drones not transferring concrete or sometimes waste rock. This issue almost never happens simultaneously. Either the first batch is cleared and then it stops or either the concrete or the waste rock fill-up causes the extractors to cease operation.

I'm not having any luck reproducing this, do you have any other mods enabled? and want to attach a copy of AppData/CheatMenuModSettings.lua?

I'm also currently having this issue. No other mods, just your cheats. New map, built 4 concrete extractors and they stopped working pretty quick and drones wont clear it.

I didn't enable this as it does make the map look all funky and I haven't checked if I can fix the ground afterwards:


but if anyone wants it, I'll add an option...

My drones seem to just quit working from the lovely drone node thingy. Anyhow, good stuff otherwise.

Did you also enable the more waste rock storage?

Unfortunately, doesn't matter what I do, the waste rock issue remains. That is a bummer considering how useful your mod is.

[ChoGGi]

Yeah, I'm still isolating the problem, but it seems to start with changing the capacity of waste rock storage, resetting it doesn't help, it's something stored in the save.

[xanthic]

I counter this.

Heh. In my case? They needed some storage. They had too much junk. I built some storage and they're all behaving now. Like good little minions.

Can you be more specific ? Please provide a detailed reply so we can understand at least how to solve the problem intermittently.
Thank You

Oh and btw, if you have not noticed this, but this problem also sometimes occurs with other storages like Fuel and Rare Metals.

hey there

@Choggi
if i double the storage amount of for example concrete storage
(see link)
[Link]
the drones stop filling at "original" amount (180)
i have to use cheat to empty the storage , after this the drones "notice" that there is more storage place
[Link]

but cant reproduce the waste rock storage error - its maybe related to this above

:: if i add 1k to universal storage it adds for concrete storage too

[ChoGGi]

Updated [Link]

Added:
Options for higher render/shadow distance (on by default):
You can change HigherRenderDist from true to a number default is 120, I use 600
Debug>Render to toggle

Changed:
Examine>Dump uses DumpedExamine.lua for name instead of DumpedText.html
You can now move around in editor mode, and the statusbar shows what you have selected

Fixed:
Toggling editor mode no longer sometimes changes the texture resolution
FillResource doesn't show msg when nothing selected
Universal/Other storage don't change each others capacity
Using Remove Building Limits and placing buildings will sometimes cause placement mode to stick.

Known issues:

Ok, so after about 3-4hrs of testing the new update(it is Tuesday 12:13pm here in India), these are my conclusions. As always, they may not be possible for you to recreate and may be only happening to me. I am also kind of feeling guilty due to the reason that I feel I keep bugging you with these errors. But given the reach and capability that your mod gives, especially the possibility to play the game without ruining the experience while also making it not so miserable for players like us(with various non-gameplay breaking options to use), I thought I should write this.

Conclusions:
1. The waster-rock storage disposal works as it should, but the moment the game is saved, the drones stop working on the disposal. This non-disposal action also applies to the concrete production using the concrete producer. The drones will only move the waste rock manually. I could go around the concrete producing problem by creating a transport resource path from the concrete producer to the storage. Interestingly, this transport resource path does not work with fuel refineries and the reason I found was that, the drones take away the fuel as it should. Literally anything that produces waste rock has this issue and the production can be continued by making transport paths(other than water extractors, I am using the "Moisture Vaporator+" to produce water).

Waste rock issue:

2. The drones give precedence to moving fuel into the shuttle, even if the priority is at its lowest, than moving it to the storage.

3. I disable all other mods but the same above issues keep themselves alive.

4. The moment I will disable your mod from the Mod Manager, everything starts working as they should.

5. If the drone setting from the gameplay tab above is set to "Repair supply leaks instantly", the drones will not repair the cable or pipe leaks at all.

6. Irrespective of the speeds I play the game in, the issues persist.

Yours Sincerely,
Thank You for the otherwise priceless mod.


NOTE: I will keep updating this post if I face new issues or they get solved.
