Introduction

• Collect and distribute resources(including ammo) automatically, just like playing RTS game!
• If you play sandbox mode, please create character first or it will lead script error. Open console, execute "/c game.player.create_character()"
• If you find a bug feel free commit issue with details
• Do not support Multiplayer, never tested.
• In Wave Defense the system give you some turret and a rocket-silo at first, these can not be recognized by mod, you need click them open the GUI such the mod can get the event notify.
• Do not support previous save because game don't give a API to read all entities. The script only can get notify event by player building or robot building. If you load a previous save, game will run but the mod will not able to recognize all entities you built, you need rebuild them.
• May not work with some Mod.

Demo

• Video : TBD
• Screenshot:

How it works

• When you build a furnace/chest/machine/... the mod will remember it and collect production, add ingredients preiodicty. Because the lua API don't give such a "production complete" event notify, the script check this every XX ms.

Performance

The entity number will affect the efficiency but I tested it with about 10000 entities it works well, CPU load <10%, 60 FPS stable

Feature list

• Supported resources: all items needed by all science pack + artillery shell. To avoid waste I set a max value for each type. Check code for details. If the resource reach the limit the script will not collect it from machine, you can still use belt+inserter+chest to collect.

• Max fuel: default value is 3, it means if a machine has 1 fuel, script will add 2 fuel; if it has 4 fuel, the script will take 1 fuel away.

• "steam" will not be managed, because different temperature works different(nuclear power)

• Furnace batch mode: Click the FT button to select type and put furnace. If you don't like this select "none"

• Resources exchange: Click the button, follow the tips. Fluid types are not supported. If want give back the resource, put the resource to chest.
