Building an air/land vehicle drone attached to a fort would need to be built separatly as you will not have access to the air items/land items.Attaching a drone to the mothership be it fort or vehicle, the drone will inherit the paint job of the mothership until detached.You will also need to state whether you want this to be rebuilt once detached or not, this gives you the option to rebuild the “missing” blocks from the mothership allowing you to keep spawning multiple copies of the drone, which will be built by Rambot or repair drones, not tentacles. The origin block can be placed anywhere deep inside the hull, just make sure that it’s inline and behind the attachment (red blocks in pic).įirstly decide if you want your drone to use its propulsion while attached. We also need to ensure that the attachment blocks are not surrounded by other blocks (for now) and we may also need an origin block on the drone as the docking station pulls from the center of mass of the drone, so by installing an origin block the dock will use that as its center point. This will help us align the drone’s attachment block to the mothership’s attachment block, and let’s not forget that most motherships may be on the move which is why the docking station would be needed, as the separation block currently only has a 10m range. So before you decide to separate my hands from my keyboard, we now have the separation block! xD Which is truly awesome yet needs some explaining for the current beta.Īt the moment we have 1×1 separation blocks and you will need to set a few parameters before attaching the drone as the options you choose will be saved to the drone that is attached, and any future changes you would need to detach the drone first before they take effect.īefore we get into the settings we “should / could” use a docking station on the mothership per drone.

If this has not got you all hot and steamy, yes you guessed the next poor pun is about steam fixes and tweaks xD Note that the center attachment point of the wheels is in line with the roll bar. With that out the way let us spring into action and go over this update, as we have some new additions such as a suspension spring mesh for our wheels (visual only), and before you roll off your seats with excitement we also have anti-roll bars for our land constructs! So far the news has been positive and treatment is underway. Before we get into all the goodies, I feel that I need to share the following.Īs most of you probably know by now that Nick’s daughter is seriously ill, which is why there has been such a long gap between updates and I am sure you would agree that family comes first.
