Maybe, in next update i'll fix most of issues and this will be useful for multiplayer too. You can also try to use it in multiplayer, but it won't work reliably. Important: Base or ship, to which drone drops off ore, must have some containers included in "BaseCargo" group. If you change ownership of drone, don't forget to recompile all programming blocks. You can copy/paste it to your own world, or make blueprint. Than you can go to second asteroid and set drone to auto-mining mode.
You can bind it to any free connector on your base or even to connector of red ship, floating nearby. This function is called by bot navigation script, while mining. Pause can be called from cockpit "3" or by pressing button under ship connector.ĭ) Throw out stone. Get out of cockpit, drone will now do everything on its own.Ĭ) Pause - this function simply pauses drone auto mode and returns control to pilot. Drone starts aligning and mining automatically after that.ĥ. Align your ship in front of asteroid (stay approximately 50 m from asteroid surface), using camera "1" or external view.Ĥ. This function can be called from front remote control.ģ. Unlock and disconnect, now drone will return to this connector.ī) Set drilling grid - It sets entry point and angles for your mining. Use non-deforming blocks for this like glass orĥ. It means, base connector should be surrounded by some blocks to make landing gears lock possible. Base connector "sucking force" is high enough to brake small ship connector exidentally after every 5-10 dockings, to avoid this drone locks landing gears first and only than turns connector on. These gears are supposed to prevent permanent connector crashing while drone is docking. You must place your drone almost ideally coaxially to base connector to lock all 4 of them.
This step can be tricky, because i've placed 4 landing gears around connector and they all should be locked before you connect. Dock to connector, using camera (pres "1") or external view ("V"). This function can be called from rear remote control.ģ. It is not for piloting actually, cause you see nothing from cockpit.Ī) Remember connector - You can set connector, you're docked to as your drone base connector, to which it will return to drop off ore. It still has merge block, which can be used for carrying drone with other ship. It is not more divided in drone and carrier, it's all in one ship, and this is much more easy to use. This version has some improvements, making it available for use in your own worlds. Open over 400 file formats with File Viewer Plus.This is the third version of automated mining drone, programmed with ingame scripting.
The file is meant to be opened only within StarMade but it is compressed in the Zip format, which allows you to manually extract its contents with a utility such as 7-Zip or WinZip. When you export a sector, an SMSEC file is created to store all the information of the sector. StarMade allows you to export and import sectors for sharing purposes.
StarMade's allows you to explore the universe finding materials to upgrade your ship and fend off attacks from enemies.
