Because there are a lot of difficult changes here and we didnt know what we would be able to finish. A lot of people pu in a lot of extra time and came up with some pretty cool stuff




I sure hope you guys aren't kidding this time. I immediately ended the 3 month long suspension of my account when I saw these notes today.


Kudos, and it's good to be back.

Wow. Very cool. Some of these new modules are actually useful and fun. The devs really out did themselves with managed expectations. I wasn't expectign anything like this. Looks like there'll be a some reasons to play for a bit more.

Oh, with with all the recent agreement between me and AO... I'd recommend everyone start preparing for the appocolypse.





I actually agree with you quite often (and usually say so!). However, on the areas we do disagree, we disagree rather well, LOL.


If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

Hmmm...but you can check the maintainance levels for all structures at once?


Hate to ask, but if you could post a screen of the interface that would be great.


To me, the biggest asset in this module is going to be simply being able to see what the maintainance status of my structures are - will it work for that?


Thanks again,


AO







I'll try and get some screenies, but it shouldn't be a problem to do that (though if you have more than 9 structures you want to be able to check you'll need multiple droids). How it works is you go to the structure you have admin on and there is a new option (under status or whatever the second menu is) to add to droid. Then you get a list of all your droids with the maintenance module and you choose one. After that, whenever you want to check/add maintenance you bring out the droid, make a list of the structures you want it to visit (can only pick from the ones you have associated with that droid), then one by one it will ask you how much maintenance you want to add (showing you how much it currently has in the process). At any time you can press cancel, and the droid doesn't go anywhere. This is nice if you just want to check, as it doesn't tie up the droid. I do wish it would show you status on power, but I'm not complaining.

Just thought of something, and I don't want to "stir the pot" but,


Are we still getting a power meter for the droid's batteries? If not in this publish, will we still be getting it soon? I didn't see it in the patch notes...





Checking your spelling (and punctuation, too) will ensure that you're making sense to more than two people.

yes, when you examine your droid it says power: x% or something similar to that.

Has anyone tested the cycle rate of the Stim Despenser Module? If that sucker will pump out heals with out a delay inbetween, it might do BETTER than B's for folks with low level hed skills.

Nice, that's what I wanted to know.


Makes life much easier to track.


I can assume that in live you won't be able to add structures that you don't have rights to (didn't you say that was the case above?), but I hope that it can be done on any building you have admin on. If so, it will be a very useful module indeed.

yea, on TC you can only add it to the list if you have admin (might have misworded it before). Anyway, the complete step by step process with screen shots is up now at http://jenden.endofinternet.net/pub8/maintenance/(I'll probably put up a link off my main pub8 page in a minute)

And if anyone knows how to make the links on this board actually work... let me know, this is getting really old.

Looks awesome. Thanks.


You can only put links in your sig - I'd just put up a "pub 8 pics" link there to save you time.


As I've been thinking about it, 9 is plenty for everything but harvesters. House, shop, factories, etc. I was thinking 9 lots at first, and even that seemed enough, but then I realized 9 structures.


As discussed above, putting harvesters on this will be of negligible value anyway, but for a crafter or anyone who owns/manages a ton of structures, it will be great.

To put links in posts, you have to write the raw html... so something like:

<a href="http://blah.blah.com">The Link</a>

yea, I do that but it strips my link out before I post... anyway, no more cluttering up the thread more than it is, if someone knows how send me a PM (only if you know how on these forums, which defy all rules of HTML, I swear...)
