<----- Notes ----->

All Astro Droid blocks act like ship welders and will need access to supplies in order to repair attached grid blocks.
Each Droid comes with 1 small grid conveyor connection on the bottom side of the asset and will pull supplies from attached containers.

Weld/ Repair rage is 30 blocks in all directions from the droid

Custom Droid sounds are currently limited to just block damage and block destruction, currently looking to add looping droid chatter.

If the Droid is functional and the block status is turned on, the player camera will shake while in close proximity or within the welder's effect area. Camera will stop shaking if you enter a cockpit or control chair,
turn the droid block off, leave the welding area, or the droid has dropped to critical damage level and is non functional.

More Droids are currently in the works.

Mod pack include server side update to correct GUI loading errors

Droid Sounds are copyrighted Lucas Arts Ltd sounds, I take no credit in their creation nor take any financial gains for the use of these sounds within this mod pack. NiteOwl mods are free access.

Conveyor Converter Hub works by attaching vanilla small conveyor tubes to the red sides and my custom medium conveyor tubes to the blue sides.

@Cheesy_ - I found the issue and it has been corrected. The fixed has been published. Let me know if you run into any more issues with it.

@Cheesy_ - Ok, I'll take a look and push an update with a fix once I figure it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Not sure if you'll see this but there's an issue with the C-1 Series Astro Droid, the bigger one with the full socket. It seems the bottom connection point was overlooked. All the other droids have this connection point working besides the C-1 droid with the socket. If you happen to see this and fix it, then thank you very much :)

got it, i'll try it

The droid repair is really for while you're in the ship on the go. Or if the ship had landed or docked and you've stepped away. But more so like if you're in a fight, the droid could keep you in the fight a bit longer, or at least keep you going enough to get away.

@kinngrimm welders don't damage you when you are sitting in a cockpit. If they did, welding ships would be a lot harder to use.

all good, thx for response
"Standing within the weld area will cause player damage i"
Doesnt that defy the purpose of a fighter repair droid tp some extant if he is in the cockpit behind be?
What is its range?
The variation you plan, will that be a droid not in its box but free standing?

@kinngrimm - sorry for the late reply. Been away for a bit. They need the part that are needed for the repair. The conveyor system allows the driod to pull parts to make repairs. Hope that answers your question.
kinngrimm Jan 12, 2024 @ 11:00am 
do they need parts for the repairs or would they(perferably) work of increased energy usage when repairing damages?

@Sworn - There was a plan, but the crew I was working on are currently working on another project which is a paid project, so a few things that were in the works are currently on hold. I'd like to have a Large Grid version, but IDK when that might be worked on.
