Droid Engineer Archive

Like the previous messages my medical probot has stopped coming out of the data pad despite logging on/off.

He will always re-appear within a camp site & sometimes within buildings.

His attack command has failed & despite buying loads of batteries I am unable to re-store power without the aid of a power droid.

This has only happened since the last big patch.

Any updates on when this problem will cease to be a problem

This sounds elementary, but do you know how to use the batteries, by selecting 'Recharge' from the droid's radial menu?

Yes tried that..always says something about requiring a power source...in the past Ive just charges up with batteries but not now.

A power droid can charge up my probot.

I ve tried t/ferring batteries direct on to droid, re-charge menu button..still no luck.

This may ALSO sound elementary... But crates of batteries or individual ones? Because crates don't work as a power source...

Now don't get angry if your answer is "Of course, you fool!", because I'm a wookie, and I may have to tear off your arms and beat you with them.

It's just that this one got me the other day for a few seconds, until I realized that I'd run out of actual batteries, and only had a crate in my inventory.

I had three customers that I had to explain this to last night. One of the customers went as far as to say that I was trying to cheat her, since the batteries weren't working right. She left my shop pretty quickly after she realized how big of a fool she really was.

AAAhhh ummmmm I have a crate of 3 batteries...this maybe why I cant recharge my droid.

How do you split these into individuals....normally you can split these...any ideas

By rights, double-clicking the crate should extract one battery from it.

If that fails, try bringing up the radial menu for the crate, and look for 'extract' or some such.

But I never really need to do anything but double-click.

Just an fyi on uncrating things since the big patch. Im a doc and carry all my meds in crates from my factory for ease and space. I used to be able to double click on the crate and out popped an item ready to use. Since the patch last week, I now get a "Split" control window in which I have to choose quantity "1" to split. this give me a crate of one which I then have to double-click.

This also happens with my Pop-O-Matic Tents in a crate, my weapon powerups and batteries. Go figure

Whoa...

Perhaps that is related to the new code for extracting directly from crates to ingredient slots when crafting...

since the patch a double click of a crate now brings up the split funtion, get item was moved from the 1 position on the radial menu to the 2 slot, so now a double click brings up the 1 optioon or split crate function, just right click and select 2 to get an item from the crate...really annoying, I think they should flip flop these since getting an irtem seems to be the most important function on a factory crates radial click menu.
