Facility ships: Possible with scripting? |
I would like to create a component for ships that can convert itself into a facility on a planet, consuming the ship, or piggybacking on colony modules. The idea is a homeworld or other large planet with lots of manufacturing can manufacture an expensive facility, like, say, an atmospheric converter, and fly it to a colony and set it up there.
Re: Facility ships: Possible with scripting?
You can't really use scripts arbitrarily. They are only applicable for AI, random events and intel projects. Components et all have no access to scripts.
Re: Facility ships: Possible with scripting?
but the idea is great. maybe it´s worth of making a request for a new feature?
Re: Facility ships: Possible with scripting?
Is it possible to make component that would when ship is consumed (colony ship) give boost to construction rate on planet for one turn? (something like universal prefabriced parts).
Re: Facility ships: Possible with scripting?
The events don't have to be random, however. Its entirely possible to use the "event" script to call an event every turn, which can be used to simulate facilities on a ship (in a painful round-about manner)

Brilliant!
Brilliant!
Elegant AND resourceful!
..and we don't have to hear any more about how better colony techs are pointless.
You rock.
Re: Facility ships: Possible with scripting?
Nice Idea since most of the places you need to teraform dont exactly have the best production base to build this sort of facility quicky. It might be an idea to build this as some sort of advanced colony module it would give a point to the extra tl's of colony tech in stock
