Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# What does "_CollectPlaceables" do for you?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Collects placeable items such as satellites or mines in a single sector or throughout the entire galaxy.
~ The "Assist" assignment enables multiple ships to collaborate with an _CollectPlaceables ship for joint collecting.
~ Involvement in the collecting process provides valuable experience for pilots and service crew members, as deemed deserved by their performance.
~ Full control over ship actions during periods of inactivity, including docking, flying to specific points, or following another ship.
~ Utilizes the integrated sector activity and sector travel blacklists within the game to exclude sectors.

Bug Report - Ships Idle instead of collecting

It is not compatible to the version 7.50 anymore
JanPanthera  [author] 21 Jun, 2023 @ 7:44am 
I've completely reworked the CollectPlaceables mod from the ground up. Consequently, it is now fully compatible with X4 6.1 and should be
free of any bugs from previous versions.
Of course, if you find anything amiss, please create a bug report.

Interesting. I also started getting game freezes shortly after adding this mod and applying the default order.
draeath 7 Sep, 2022 @ 5:56pm 
This order seems to override the Avarice eruption flee logic. Ships who are collecting in those systems do not attempt to leave or dock, and are often destroyed.

Is there perhaps opposite mod - that deploys consumables in area?
unr303 17 Apr, 2021 @ 6:49am 
When laser tower is near a station then it would not collect it. It gives the order but the ship does not move. If you give "collect deployable" order manually then ship picks up the same laser tower.

Hey JanPanthera! Mod isnt working as expected for me. Ship getting stuck trying to find a path (maybe) to the placeable. Happens if sat is near station/gate, for example

@MasterControl ... if you still play the game and still have the problem with 1k satellites.. i added a function that does selling of the collected stuff ^^
MasterControl 9 Oct, 2020 @ 2:12am 
Would it be possible to set these guys to automatically sell their placeables after they are full? I'm trying to use them to clean just over 1k satellites, it'd be very handy to just let them do their thing without supervision

yeah write it in the discord under #ask-me.. i think i will add this but i don't say any date ;-)
