I just want to request a little feature - change "construction-robot" entity definition from:

repair_pack = "repair-pack",

... to:

Code: Select all

repair_pack = {"repair-pack"},

... so modders can add their own custom repair pack and make it usable by construction robots:

Code: Select all

data.raw["construction-robot"]["construction-robot"].repair_pack = { "repair-pack", "modded-repair-pack", "etc." }

This would of course mean couple more changes in the code to handle a table instead of just one string, but it should be simple, quick and doable.

Code: Select all

 {
    type = "repair-tool",
    name = "repair-pack",
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/repair-pack.png",
    flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
    subgroup = "tool",
    order = "b[repair]-a[repair-pack]",
    speed = 1,
    durability = 100,
    stack_size = 50
  },

if they would allow all robots to use all repair tools and not only the repair-pack ...

Yeah, that would be neat too...

I'd vote for the original suggestion, it would mean you can choose which tools which construction robots can use.

in any case, either solution would be a major step forward when trying to add extra repair packs via modding.
