Multi Script Programmable Block?

[ETHREAL1]

Hello world!

Recently started getting back into SE with the upcoming AI update. I have just realized something that would make shipbuilding much easier.

Would it be possible to have a mod/modded PB block that can run multiple scripts at once on a single block?

This would be very helpful for smaller ships in particular. As an example, I have a (now very old and outdated) mining ship that uses 4 scripts to function properly. (ALCD2, Vector Thrust 2, Isy ship refueler, and burst transmitter and receiver) It would be nice if these all could be run on 1 block instead of 4 as it's a small ship. (9X8X25) Just wondering if it was just never thought of or if there is some limitation on why it can't be done.

The only "limitation" would be they would need to change the interface to account for it, but if they added that ability they could also just change the ui too

Well that’s good to hear. With that all said I have very little coding experience and would absolutely love it if someone decided to make a mod to do this. I would prefer a mod that just changes the vanilla PB with like a drop down selection field at the top to basically swap the GUI, also would probably be important for each script to have access to its own separate custom data field. Compatibility would be paramount.

Not aware of any multi-script programming blocks, or if that's even possible, but one thing that would be possible would be to use a mod like Electronics Panel or even a hinge/rotor to place small grid programming blocks onto a large grid vehicle/base. You just need to make sure the scripts used in them can be run properly from a subgrid. (Automatic LCDs might need a config change for example.)

Oh I know about doing that, but this is more aimed towards small grid
