good work.

Thanks

I will release 3.3 this weekend, i haven't heard any bug reports for a month so should be good to go!

yeah the new squad AI is a little more 'stop-start' in its behaviour, but they should be able to recover or otherwise deal with their own issues better now.

any feedback or issues with 0.3.3 test files??

Hello Everyone! I have a release candidate here with a bunch of bug fixes and usability improvements for the mod. Attached to this post is a .zip with the latest source files from the Unstable branch, ready for you guys to play-test for me before I put it live on the Mod Portal. Changes from 0.3.2 t...

Ah yes, I was going to ask if it was bob's mods artifacts.. Bob needs to get with the times! Alien artifacts are so 0.14! If you want, i can send you a version of my mod with the loot chest re-enabled and the script re-enabled? PM me your email address and i'll send a modified version of 0.3.2. If m...

They have been disabled as items but also the script that checks around squads for them has been disabled too, to save CPU time.

Why?

Hi comwarrior, i'm sorry to hear that your game was interrupted like that. In May this year I fixed that issue, it's currently in the "Unstable" branch (which is what I use for testing and fixes etc before releasing to the public on the Mod Portal). https://github.com/kyranf/robotarmyfacto...

Yes I agree, the splash radius and damage is pretty crazy. I got trashed in a death world recently thanks to their crazy grenade-spit taking out 4-6 chunks of walls in one go (the medium/large spitters though, doing that). The small spitters were still breaking chunks of 2x2 walls easily if they stu...

This is true, great points there 321freddy.

A major use case is my Robot Army units which are essentially reskinned spitters with custom projectiles.

yeah that's the plan. why is that so funny? should be horrifying!

you could add an 1x1 equipment grid to your entities and insert this equipment into it. I wish! That's one of my other API requests, is being able to enable an inventory or equipment grid for any unit type entity. looks like a hack would be to use the equipment grid to put a custom belt immunity it...

So perhaps all LuaEntities should be able to access this particular property then? Or at least the Vehicle and Unit LuaEntity subclasses..

A tag on spawner type entities that spawn a variety of units having a tag for enabling a simple 'night only' spawn behaviour, and associated parameter (double data type, or whatever makes most sense for referring to the surface's 'darkness' value) as a threshold. For example, a spitter spawner that ...

So basically, "biome" tags for units? Interesting thought! Adds a lot more logic to the pathfinder though, and the jumper one would be hard. I'd love to see that implemented eventually too

The Unit type of entity having access to equipment slots like vehicles, or a small inventory (of defined size in prototype) accessible only to their own force would be handy. They don't need to/shouldn't support inserter interaction. In the prototype definition, they would just need the ability to h...

I loaded a (modded) game, saved (after Rampant AI had finished loading up and running init), and then quit to desktop which caused an exception. Log posted below.

Request a simple true/false flag for a unit prototype, to be able to ignore/resist being moved by belts. I have issues with my robot army units being shifted around by player's factory belts and this change would go a long way to enhancing user experience. Because right now it's just frustrating and...

I have flying units that when requesting a path (using move_to or other forms of unit commands) cannot path over walls or water, yet they can actually move over them due to no collision box (like all flying robots in the game). I request that a flag be available during the set_command either at a un...

If you were so kind as to add some remote call interfaces to read/write the max wave size and the attack wave generation threshold it would be handy. Is there not a minimum wave size?
