deployers on the ground should be able to access ships and vice versa

[viral slate]

Create is a mod about automation. I want to automate ship building

[fallen plinth]

I'm sure someones trying

[toxic sleet]

the way londlord works will not make this possible

[terse ginkgo]

Cool

We are not talking about landlord though

[toxic sleet]

oh i thought clockwork used landlord

[dry ocean]

landlord

is aeronautic's thing

clockwork uses VS2

[toxic sleet]

oh\

[dry ocean]

that would be really hard to make

imagine all the bullshit

with trying to figure out if a deployer should deploy in ship space

or in world space

there's an easier way

which is to make deployers make a ship

and then assemble it

though assembly isn't automated

would be cool to have automated assembly though

[fiery sparrow]

just use depth with raycast

[dry ocean]

me when my deployer launches my ship into space by placing blocks in world space, because my ship was 0.01 blocks too far away

[tardy phoenix]

That’s true

[fiery sparrow]

Just make so player can decide if deployer prioritise ship over world with tolerance

[tardy phoenix]

That’s not what they mean

Deployers have limited range

So if the ship is too far the deployer will place on world

Priority is irrelevant

[fiery sparrow]

Ah right

Well it still does work tho? just les about priority more to force raycast until ship is found

[tardy phoenix]

okay but then it would have infinite range

[fiery sparrow]

As I said tolerance

Get it some amount of range so that it doesn't cause the ship to clip out of existance

I mean itvs probably hard and arbitrary but yes

[onyx arrow]

What if u just like

Add a setting to the deployer or sumn

That determines whether or not it works on ships

And make it so that when you have on engineer’s goggles you can see deployer target ship space blocks

I have no idea how one would code that

And I’m not saying anyone has go

To*

Just a suggestion of how to maybe solve the “how the fuck do I know what’s going on or what it’ll do” problem

[dry ocean]

they already planned to do that

just only for deployers on ships

in any case

why would you ever need to deploy something onto a ship

from world

[onyx arrow]

I have my ideas

For example

A guided missile where literally all it does is put noise makers on the target ship

Troll missile

[dry ocean]

can't said guided missile

just use stickers

to stick onto a ship

and then put noise makers on itself

[onyx arrow]

Yes

That’s what it would do

[onyx arrow]

But I don’t want it to stay there

Bc that’s less funny than just shitting on someone and leaving

With no trace other than the residue

[tardy phoenix]

Then detach it after

Stickers can do that

Oh wait

[onyx arrow]

Yeah

[tardy phoenix]

yeah you can do that

[onyx arrow]

But the point is yknow I wanna like

[tardy phoenix]

just make it have noise makers with separate stickers

[onyx arrow]

Have the noisemakers stay on

[tardy phoenix]

That are stuck onto the missile

[onyx arrow]

Oh that’s more interesting

[tardy phoenix]

So you attach to the ship

And detach the noisemakers

Then fly away

[onyx arrow]

M

Another application of it is just yknow automated ship building

[tardy phoenix]

Just build the ship and assemble it afterward

Either way you’d need to assemble some of it at SOME stage

[onyx arrow]

That depends on how the new glue system works

I haven’t stuck around here long enough to know like actually specifics

[tardy phoenix]

For what you wanna do, probably a lot better, by the sound of it

[onyx arrow]

Yeah

[dry ocean]

basically bluper glue

but to assemble ship

you stick the auric designator in the physics thingy

and all the ships you glued with the auric designator item

become physics

[onyx arrow]

M

[tardy phoenix]

meaning you could mass print ships with just one infuser

[onyx arrow]

As long as I can automate that

Also if we can have schematicannon compat from ship to world

[tardy phoenix]

If the auric designator keeps its data after being used, you should be able to

[onyx arrow]

And if the sort of

[dry ocean]

potato didn't show off a way to automate ship assembly

[tardy phoenix]

Since the next ships would be in the same place

And identical

[dry ocean]

but i'm sure he'll add a way

[onyx arrow]

Selector is something that can be placed with that

[dry ocean]

after he gets his next shipment of cocaine

[onyx arrow]

Then I could steal peoples bases easy prays

[tardy phoenix]

Wait can’t you just use ship splitting to automate ships

[onyx arrow]

Hah

[dry ocean]

oh yeah

[tardy phoenix]

make the ship like a 3d printer and then detach it

[dry ocean]

you can

[tardy phoenix]

that’s way simpler

[onyx arrow]

That seems way more funny actually

Lmao

[tardy phoenix]

And you’d just be able to drop them onto people

[onyx arrow]

Sheets of standardized ships connected by red wool or sumn

[tardy phoenix]

Bomb bay but it’s loaded with ships:

[tardy phoenix]

not even that

just make them as you go

[onyx arrow]

Well yea

[tardy phoenix]

And move a piston away to drop them

easy

[onyx arrow]

I’m just imagining people having like ship cardboard cutouts lmao

[tardy phoenix]

lmao

[dry ocean]

@tardy phoenix @onyx arrow

[tardy phoenix]

🥱 moving wall of deployers:

[onyx arrow]
