[Hrusa][2.0.76] Misleading cargo drop cooldown display

Post by Sworn »

On any space platform, press CTRL + click to move the items from the ship inventory to the cargo drop slots.

That will immediately show said "count down".

But those count downs literally represent nothing that actually happens. If you keep performing CTRL + Click on the inventory item, it will keep resetting the count down, then items will get dropped regardless of the countdown reached 0 or not, and they also don't get dropped when the countdown reached 0 after you start dropping multiple items like 2 full inventory line of items or more like 10 or 20. Besides all drop inventory slots show the countdown at the same progress but sometimes they won't drop all at once

Expected behavior.
I can only see two options:
1, the countdown actually represents the correct time something will be dropped, per slot inventory.
2, this shouldn't even be there, then just remove this visual effect as it is literally wrong when doing multiple drops manually at once.

Attached video, at 10 seconds, items get dropped without finishing the countdown.
At 18 seconds, items are not dropped after the countdown is finished.

This is not a new thing, is there since forever now.

Doesn't meter how you look at it, the behavior just doesn't make sense when doing multiple manual drops.

Hi,

this is somewhat working as intended, except for the refresh when nothing gets transferred. It's two mechanisms clashing together:
- the cooldown shows a delay until the product can be auto-dropped again.
- there probably isn't enough free input hatches on planet so it's taking a while for the immediate drop to take place once the cooldown clears.

I will play around with it and see if I can find a better way to visualize this.
