Mk2 Auto-Excavator

In 1 collection by Flexible Games
FCE-Essentials - FG Edition
12 items
Description
Offers in-game customization options for dig radius and height, options for removing ores and whether it drops items.

Uses 20 power to break in normal mode, 80 power to break a block in ore-removal mode. Clears 5 blocks per
second

Required to craft:
2 Advanced Machine Blocks
10 Lithium Power Coils
10 Servo Motors
3 Gold Foil

HUGE update to version 10 of the mod.

- Can now be placed in any direction/orientation. Clear in all directions. MANY thanks to Innomin8 for help with this!
- Can now mute the pew pew sounds by hitting J twice while looking at the block.
- Now has a SUPER OP mode for those times when you MUST CLEAR EVERYTHING, NOW.

- Super OP mode has a configuration option in XML. Default is 5. This is how many blocks per tick it will clear. (5 ticks per second) limited to 20 max (100 blocks per second max). SUPER OP mode not recommended for servers...

- SUPER OP mode activated with Shift+O... use at your own risk. You know it's active by the fact it's clearing SO MUCH FASTER... and the fact "@.@" appears in the popup text.

Version 7 update:
Includes a whole new system of network communications in attempt to fix the mod working on dedicated servers. Please test and get back to me!

Version 6 update:
New loading/saving rewrite. Please replace any excavators you already have in the world. You shouldn't need to do this again. Sorry for the trouble!

Version 5 update:
Updated to include more options for clearing and dropping. Also increased the max range of dig radius and height.

Dig options:
ClearGarbage - will clear all 'garbage' related blocks
ClearOre - will clear garbage AND ore
ClearAll - will clear everything, including machines and craftable blocks.

Drop Options:
DropSome : vanilla behavior, 5% chance to drop garbage. 100% drops on everything else.
DropNone : doesn't drop anything.
DropOre : will only drop ore it finds. One ore per block destroyed.
DropAll : drops everything. This will QUICKLY max out the per-segment drop limit, so be around or have vacuum hoppers.

Other change was to dig radius and height.
Max radius is now 1024, which means it would dig out a 2049 x 2049 area...
Max height is now 2048...

Also added the ability to use the shift key to increase radius by 10.

It dug out the Hive Core in normal mode for me. But I've made a personal copy that I've patched so it doesn't do it anymore.

Yes in OP mode it's super OP.

I discovered that this will dig out the Hive Core without touching it's hard resin shell. Not sure if that is intentional or not.
Checked the code and saw it digs up to hardness 500 where the normal Auto Excavator only digs up to hardness 250. Is it to be able to clear T4 ore that is 450 or is it for Fuild Magma that is 500?

Understood

I'd rather you didn't. The point of this is use it how you want, use OP mode or not, it's up to you. Adding limits TO this is personal. Feel free to use your tweaked version but please don't reupload my work.

Requesting permission to upload a variant more in line with the vanilla excavator to the workshop. ie dig radius limited to 9, range limited to 512, and no cryo clear or SuperOP mode.

I have tested and used it a fair amount already to ensure no bugs.

So, how do I adjust the range on a tkl keyboard and thus have no numberpad? I have to get my controller and map those buttons to the controller just for the second or two I need to set up this excavator, it'd be really nice to be able to change those numpad mappings to something else.

Version 11!

Added new mode "ClearCryo" because once you battle one cryo spawner, 7 more is just too many. This mode ONLY clears cryo (and...uh maybe resin) and leaves everything else and costs 3 times more power then the power-per-ore setting which is 80 by default. So 240 power per block.

Due to this potential increase in power consumption, the default power stored in the block is now 1600.

Also added ALT key modifiers to radius and height adjustments allowing for +/- 100 increments.

I might be able to get the hot-keys for functions to be mapped via config if people still want that.
