@kent.walter: According to the modding page [www.teardowngame.com] it is medium, but this only applies to the physical material named "concrete" in the game, some stuff that looks like concreate may actually be made of harder or softer materials.
kent.walter Nov 15 @ 2:12pm 
one more question, does concrete count as a medium material?
Geneosis  [author] Nov 15 @ 2:07pm 
@kent.walter: Well the non-soldier drones will send you attack drones if they are attacked ^^ And the soldier drones will usually patrol around randomly so they may find you on their own. If their view is not fully blocked they may see you through some planked window and still attack.
kent.walter Nov 15 @ 1:14pm 
extremely cool mod btw
kent.walter Nov 15 @ 1:10pm 
im thinking some kind of scout drone with a flashlight and if it sees you it sends soldier drones
kent.walter Nov 15 @ 1:10pm 
also can you make an update/add on that makes the drones actively scout just a suggestion
kent.walter Nov 15 @ 1:08pm 
if i am lightly obscured (eg a window boarded with planks) would they not see me?
Geneosis  [author] Nov 14 @ 11:16am 
Note that if they see you at some point they will go investigate the area, so if there is a way to reach your location they may find you. Same goes if you attack them: they will blindly attack back even if they cannot see you so they may break a few walls that way and then see you.
Geneosis  [author] Nov 14 @ 11:06am 
@kent.walter: The drones will only attack if they can see you so if somehow you end up in a completely closed space they cannot attack you... Until a miner drone eventually decide to start mining your building XD

UPDATE
i have downloaded the magnets mod
kent.walter Nov 13 @ 3:39pm 
Because i like making hideouts on the quilez map
kent.walter Nov 13 @ 3:38pm 
can you hide from the drones? im thinking like boarding the windows or something?
Geneosis  [author] Nov 13 @ 10:16am 
@kent.walter: lol, I guess all this tells us is that the people does not have much to say about the magnet mod so the only comments remaining are my own self-advertisement X)
kent.walter Nov 12 @ 6:41pm 
i have just downloaded this because i saw the ad in the magnets mod
ads are very effective
Geneosis  [author] Oct 13 @ 10:04am 
I think some pople requested a way to get some drones flying on a map without having to go through the whole factory stuff... You can now do that on your own using Saki's Entities Spaner ;)

Want more magic in your life? How about changing your job to Enchanter ?

Ts So Epic mod vro
Geneosis  [author] Sep 10 @ 10:02am 
@e: It is definitely possible, but as you may have seen if you looked at some other legged bots in action (eg: Starship Troopers Arachnids), pathfinding may have a hard time to figure out some "simple" pathing, and it does not always scale well with large amount of bots :/ And having an army of bots standing still in front of a wall because they can't figure out what to do is not as fun imho X)
e Sep 9 @ 2:13pm 
for ground bots, why not just use the code and pathfinding thats already in the game for the quilez robots? im not a scripter, so idk if thats possible

@SpidermanXI: As I said earlier on this topic, sadly unless the devs add some way for me to detect the special TABS bullets, there will not be much I can do... In the meantime remember that you can disable the drones armor and they should be affected by any kind of bullets this way (but become very weak).
SpidermanXI Sep 7 @ 8:01am 
PLS MAKE THEM ABLE TO BE DAMGED BY TABS

@darji: I don't think I would have the patience to make actual AI for those as anything that does not fly is way harder to control automatically ^^
darji Aug 6 @ 6:12pm 
can you make a mod like this with the same stuff bot that walk and ones that swim and ones that dig
Army Men May 21 @ 2:46pm 
Oh
Geneosis  [author] May 21 @ 9:57am 
@Nigel★۞: Well this lag upon destruction is why I added the mini factories ;) Those work exactly the same as normal ones but should lag a lot less when broken.
Army Men May 20 @ 9:25pm 
@Geneosis Thats a Great Reason Btw Make Normal Factorys Smaller
Geneosis  [author] May 19 @ 9:55am 
@Something That Should ♥♥♥♥ You: Yeah that's my attempt at "cleaning up the mess after you break it so that it won't lag forever" XD It still lags for a while, but it should resolve itself eventually ;)
Army Men May 19 @ 1:48am 
THERES A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BLACK HOLE IN IT!!!!!!

I know it would be a pain in the ass to add more content, but if the mod was bigger and slightly deeper it would pretty much be the best mod in the game. It's your mod obviusly, but I can't help but think balancing isn't that big of a deal. The player can already configure the mod a lot, they can also just place more factories of one team and bye balancing. Think of that "decentraliced balancing" as a friend and let the player tinker with it. Having the option to disable some drones in the options might help too while adding content. Whatever you do I love the mod and the concept, I just wish I had more to do on it. Love your work! Have a nice day.
Scorpion May 16 @ 12:57pm 
make titan cameraman
Geneosis  [author] May 3 @ 5:04am 
@Plazich: Not so far no, I feel like it's sort of balanced the way it is now so I'm not sure if I want to add too much to it ^^
Zckein.mp4 Mar 27 @ 11:36am 
ok thanks
Geneosis  [author] Mar 27 @ 11:06am 
@harun_yezer: What is important to know if one drone will attack another is not their color but their Team (you can make the team color and drone color match if you want in the mod options). Also when you pick drones from the spawn menu freidly drones are always in team 1 and enemy drones always in team 0.
Zckein.mp4 Mar 26 @ 12:09pm 
Hey Blue Drones attacking Blue factory WHY?
i spawned Blue drones Directly From Spawn menu
mrp1212 Feb 23 @ 7:59am 
pls
mrp1212 Feb 23 @ 7:59am 
can you make a mod that has ww1 robot looking ground troops
Geneosis  [author] Feb 23 @ 2:14am 
@theterminator429: If some other mods exist doing that, then this mod uses tags that should let them aim at the drones, but it may be some extra work for the mods authors.

@mrp1212: This mod was mainly focusing on flying drone as it gives them a lot more freedom to explore the map and a lot less chances to be stuck (compared to land vehicles). Also land drones would need a very different way to get controlled by the script and to pathfind, so I think I prefer to keep it this way and focus on flying ones ;)
mrp1212 Feb 21 @ 1:22pm 
we need ground drones
theterminator429 Jan 9 @ 12:18pm 
I wish that AI controlled tanks would fight against these
daiannareturns727 Jan 7 @ 6:03am 
yea baby!
Gaby Le Ninja Francais Jan 3 @ 7:30am 
we need more drones
boyspauls Dec 22, 2024 @ 3:46pm 
@Geneosis: NVM I figured it out
Geneosis  [author] Dec 22, 2024 @ 2:17am 
@boyspauls: What do you mean? If you spawn several Factories in a row and don't touch their team they should all start in a different team... Then you can change the team to group some of them together if you want.
boyspauls Dec 21, 2024 @ 7:54pm 
No matter how many teams I allow in my game it only allows 3
Geneosis  [author] Nov 30, 2024 @ 3:21am 
@Depresso gaming save tf2: You open the spawn menu (there should be a button for that when you hit Escape), then search for "drone" in it (see the first screenshot up on this page), then you can pick the factory or drone you want from there ^^
xX-Just.A.Evil.Guy-Xx Nov 29, 2024 @ 12:48pm 
how do i spawn a factory
Geneosis  [author] Nov 24, 2024 @ 8:50am 
Mod updated! You can now select in the options how much percent of the max armor will be recovered when an armor is rebuilt after being broken ;)
see full patch notes
bpl81uf Nov 21, 2024 @ 5:18pm 
I guess bring water bots next
Geneosis  [author] Nov 12, 2024 @ 11:00am 
@frankiepoop2002: So what would be the point of carrying other drones? Do you mean carry miner drones to protect them somehow while they mine? Also its weaponry seems to be higher than the current MK3 drones, so that would probably cost quite a lot.
