Red Chest

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Red Chest

Post by Lambda083 »

Would be fine, if drones would first pick stuff from red chests instead of picking it from yellow chests.

Reason: yellow chests are storage, so the player WANTS to store his stuff there. red chests are passive providers, so this chest is meant to provide its stuff, whenever a demander chest demands it.

First I thought it was a bug ( viewtopic.php?f=23&t=29646#p187790 ) , but as it seems it was meant this way, this was my change suggestion.

Thank you for working the game and handling all the posts here!

No, it's correct as it is.

If you need other behavior, use active provider chests.

It's not that i want to change the behaviour o the red chest. I would change the priority in which drones take stuff from red and yellow chest. they should not take stuff from yellow chests, which are storage before they take stuff from an passive providing red chest. what is the reason for a passive providing chest, if the drones keep draining my storage instead of the passive providing?

But the passive provider is a storage.

The storage chest is only used for excessive items or when a drone's job is canceled and the item must be stored somewhere.

But maybe a priority switch would resolve both standpoints.

Moved to won't implement, cause it makes no sense, as steinio already explained. :)
