Does it really drop them in one by one? that seems a very slow process
It drops 1 stack at a time
Does the drone crashing impact buildings? Or biters? Can you control where it crashes? It's a cool balance to have it destroyed so you have to expend resources to build more. Wondering if you deliver in the middle of a big base could you accidentally destroy some buildings.
The crashing doesn't cause any damage, its just a visual effect. I was thinking to make it damage things, but since the final suicide flight path is randomised, it would be some unpredictable mechanic, and people would probably ask that I make it try to land somewhere safe.
Unrelated question OP: How do you make such good video/gif out of Factorio? Like that zoom in / zoom out and that panning was so smooth, how do you do it?
I used a console command to start a cutscene, something like:
devtrackers.gg
/c
game.player.set_controller
{
type = defines.controllers.cutscene,
waypoints =
{
{
position = game.player.position,
transition_time = 1,
time_to_wait = 60,
zoom = 2
},
{
position = game.player.position,
transition_time = 3 * 60,
time_to_wait = 60,
zoom = 0.5
},
{
position = {0,0},
transition_time = 3 * 60,
time_to_wait = 60,
zoom = 0.5
},
{
position = {0,0},
transition_time = 3 * 60,
time_to_wait = 60,
zoom = 2
},
}
}
Klonan is a Wube dev, mod developer, and community manager here! When do you sleep? Thanks!
Judging by my recent mod releases, i've been sleeping for the last 18 months
Really cool idea and great execution, but i dont think the pink requester chest fits
Its the classic design technique, of always leaving room for improvement :)
