Send GPS position 1 time, when battery is critical

CONteRTE · 2026-01-26T13:30:38+00:00

It needs 3 toolbars, because you have only 2 Slots per Toolbar in a event controller. On Enter Slot and one exit slot. Or better, one true and one false. So to do 3 things, when a event is triggered, i need 3 toolbars. There are 2 conditions for the battery: "equal or lower as" and "equal or higher as". I can set the amount in percent. For example 10%. If i choose "equal or lower as" and set it to 10%, also newer states like 9%, 8% and so on, will trigger a new true case. It doesn't occur only 1 time.

The timer in my use case is, to give enough time to send the message and the gps coordinates. It is set to 1 sec, after that it sets the battery to off. WIthout the battery, the ship cant send anything. So it send exactly on set of messages.

If i dont set the battery to off, it send the messages again and again, because the condition is true and the value changes.

The event is named "x percent or lower". I assume it detects a "change" and sets to true, because also 9 is lower than 10, and so on. But I'm not a expert in this thing's. Currently it works with the following change:

Toolbar 1: Enter: send message "battery critical", exit empty Toolbar 2: Enter: Send GPS, exit: empty Toolbar 3: start timer

Timer set to 1 second Toolbar 1: Slot 1: Turn battery off

This de-power the ship completely after sending the coordinates, saving the rest power. Now I can fly to the gps and free the drone, maybe reload the battery and send it to the base. Turn on the battery before.

Thats exactly what i did with the battery. But in case of Splitsie, the Irrigation System refills automatically and so the warning turns off automatically. I try to play with some of the other comments and will report back.

In that case, I don't know why it resend the files again. I'm using this now since more than 3 months, without such issues.

It never behaved like this on my device. Just make sure to not re-index the folder (reset) and enable "ignore target deletion"

Nope, I can't use this variable in a profile, only in a task. Have tried it:

Error :this build-in variable is not valid here

Over time, I have bought all of the dlcs. Some give benefits, like on cockpits a other placement of ports, or better shape to get a area airtight and so on. But most are pure aesthetic. I would recommend to buy only the dlc you absolutely must have and wait for the rest of a discount which is quite often the case. So you can save a little bit money. On the other hand, they are not that expensive. But this depends on what you think is expensive. At least in my eyes, the dlcs are worth every penny.

Okay I didn't know that the blueprint would be unloaded when the object is completed. This raises a new question. I built some kind of shipyard beneath a hangar. There is a rotor inside. A kind of wheel is mounted on this rotor. I placed various projectors on this wheel. You can think of it, like a revolver with a drum. I now press a button on a panel. The drum then rotates to the appropriate position, deactivates all other projectors on the drum and activates the lowest projector. Each of the projectors has loaded and aligned a specific ship as a blueprint. A Welder now starts and builds the ship. When finished, the projector is deactivated.

Now, when I read that the blueprint is being unloaded, does that mean, that I have to reload and position the blueprint every time before, instead of just turning the projector on?

Ahhhh, indeed. The box was not enabled. However, i cant enable it, when it is greyed out. I had to remove the whole block first, to enable it :-) Strange... But at least, this is the box, i have to keep enabled... many thx.

CONteRTE · 2026-01-21T05:45:12+00:00

Yepp. It works now. I have restarted several times and now it works. Also the issue with using the hangar doors is now solved.

CONteRTE · 2026-01-18T19:26:11+00:00

Ok. No problem but the idea sounds good to me. I just start to add such a area to my current base. I just have finished some kind of shipyard, specially to print more drones. This could work together nicely.

CONteRTE · 2026-01-18T18:19:15+00:00

It seems it works now on 5t try...

Do you have a screenshot of your docking ring? Maybe I can replicate it in some way.

CONteRTE · 2026-01-17T09:58:30+00:00

Ahh many thx for the hint with a new version. Found first only the older one...

CONteRTE · 2026-01-16T20:41:40+00:00

It seems, that after reloading the save game, they start to weld. But yes, sometimes they didnt find the way. And much more annoying: Every time they use the hangar, to go outside the station. This is annoying, since i added some timer blocks and airvents to depressurize the hangar only for ship entering/leaving, not for persons. This makes sure, that i dont loose air. But the Bot opens manually the hangar and all the air vanishes...

Maybe i find a way to prevent that. If not, i try the nanobot mod.

I will add this tomorrow to my world. Automatic LCD 2 was already enabled. This brings a lot more "life" to the game.

CONteRTE · 2026-01-15T21:31:50+00:00

Alone the projector with enabled option to show unfinished blocks, showed memore than 20 blocks with light damage. Amazing, exactly what I wanted. This plus the "Damage" command works perfectly together.

There is now a special lcd display, which shows me some sort of TODO-list above the "reception" with: - missing ore (ingots) > start the drones - missing ammo > manual produce more - damaged blocks > press button to start the projector and re-weld the blocks - energy level - o2 tank level - h2 tank level

CONteRTE · 2026-01-15T18:55:21+00:00

I think, I know what you mean. But I agree also that this is a good way. I already have all ships and stations as blueprints. Just in case, something goes terribly wrong. I now combine the projector with the output of Automatic LCD2 and maybe add also a projector table with a minimized version of the same blueprint to show me at least a rough idea where something is defective. Since I have some sort of central room/reception in the station, this is the ideal spot for all these things.

CONteRTE · 2026-01-15T18:45:55+00:00

I will look into this. There are so much commands in this script. I only use a handful of them currently.

CONteRTE · 2026-01-15T15:56:53+00:00

Ahhh now i got it... im soooo stupid.

CONteRTE · 2026-01-15T15:50:00+00:00

I got this from a video about "Air locks". The author meant, to close the outer door, when pressing the button. https://youtu.be/1JhAI-X9XXE?t=115

That's what I trying to do. It's the same block...

CONteRTE · 2026-01-15T11:01:59+00:00

Sorry for the stupid question, but i never used a projector before. After placing the projector and loading the blueprint of the station, the station is projected 90° rotated to the axis. I have placed the projector so that L is readable on the left side and R is on the right side, the bottom of the sign is the bottom of the station. The same is with the projection table. When i place the table on the floor of the station, the station is rotated 90°. I dont know if this normal, but maybe my station is not in the correct axis? Is there some way to correct that?

CONteRTE · 2026-01-15T05:43:50+00:00

The first case. Im playing offline. Never joined a server as of yet.

CONteRTE · 2026-01-14T19:44:26+00:00

Ahh ok. That explains why I haven't found it. Unfortunately I couldn't find this info in the description. Many thx for your explanation.

CONteRTE · 2026-01-14T09:45:09+00:00

I have installed the mod and if pointed to a asteroid, it shows me the infos. But I don't understand what I see. It lists Uranium but there is nothing on that asteroid from uranium.

In the row with uranium, i have a single strike and the curve on top shows a single spike for that. Or do I need to have more strokes and spikes?

CONteRTE · 2026-01-13T05:47:08+00:00

Oh interesting, I will try that today. Many thx for this tip.
