Quantum Tether

Description
Work in Progress!


Quantum Tether
Adds a block which keeps player inventories within a certain range stocked with Components. Amount and Type are Configurable.

Range is a diameter in meters centered on the block, set by a slider in the terminal
- Minimum of 5, Maximum of 500, Defaults to 250.
- Configurable in Save Storage Folder

Power Cost scales with the Range
- Minimum of 1 MW, Maximum of 50 MW.
- Configurable in Save Storage Folder

Amount to Stock is set by a Slider in the Terminal,
- Minimum of 1, and Maximum of 50. Defaults to 10.
- Configurable in Save Storage Folder

Components to Stock can be set in the Custom Data by SubtypeID, one per line**.


**Only Component SubtypeIDs are Valid. Ore, Ingot and Ammo SubtypeIDs will not work

Lasted Update - 10/17/23

" Any Components in inventory over the Stock Amount will be pushed back to the Block"
i just realized this means ... dare i hope ... no "INVENTORY FULL" messages anymore 0_0 omg

This block works great, looks great and I love it. Instead of a build planner click fest, I built several different quantum tethers configured for different components that I can toggle on and off depending on what I'm building. It's convenient, still feels balanced... awesome work! :steamthumbsup:

mmm, would be a perfect fit for the buildplaner. You know where you just right click on a block you want to build, it adds it to the build planer you can then either middle mouse click on a conveyor access and get what is already in storage or i think it was shift + rmb and add them to assembler. With this mod, you could remove the need to go to an conveyor access point and just drag what the build planner listed out of storage into the personal inventory.

Ill add it to my list. That does seem like a good solution for those who don't use BuildInfo

Could you list the component id's that the custom data field will accept? Maybe pre-populate with all id's and comment out or delete the ones not wanted. Alternatively maybe an option for all components. Like another I'm getting the message "Tether: <Grid Name> Missing: <Random Component>." I'm wondering if I'm not putting in the correct id or if its a mod issue.

what about a smallgrid receiver for welding ships?

Sheesh, I feel sorry for you man. All you want is to improve your mod, and everybody just goes dry after spouting out the issues they're having. Keep up the great work.

The Update rate is Hardcoded at once per second, it shouldn't just stop updating. To confirm, your inventory isnt being restocked at all until you changed a value? Are you certain you're within range, and that the block has sufficient power?

The tether seems to only update when a value is changed, when I just use components from my inventory it doesn't seem to realize that it's supposed to give me more until I change a value. Any fixes? Thanks!
