Having this error in editor when your mod is enabled:
Error loading PackedMods/RCMechanic/Code/Script.lua: PackedMods/RCMechanic/Code/Script.lua:77: function arguments expected near '.'
During gameplay RC Mechanic is not available.
Any idea how to fix it?

Am I the only one that doesn't have a pin-icon for the mechanic rovers? (it's just an empty circle with the schmall activitiy icon top left)

Is this rover affected by dust devil?

ah

Improved drone hub radius, even if it was out of drone hub range didn't want to repair
ChoGGi  [author] 27 Jul, 2020 @ 6:18pm 
which mod?
BlueAquatics 27 Jul, 2020 @ 7:11am 
It doesn't matter figured out it was colliding with another mod
ChoGGi  [author] 27 Jul, 2020 @ 5:00am 
Yeah, works fine here. It won't repair stuff that's within range of a working dronehub.
BlueAquatics 27 Jul, 2020 @ 3:59am 
Any idea if this mod still works? Can't seem to get ti to repair anything
ChoGGi  [author] 29 Oct, 2019 @ 9:41am 
It's just a re-coloured attack rover from one of the mysteries (last war maybe?) .

Wow, this looks way more realistic than these Tachikoma-like drones, I wish we could replace them (visually) with this awesome model! :lunar2019grinningpig:

Hmm, I guess I did skip keeping a list of assigned tasks :)
KampfTomate007 9 Jan, 2019 @ 3:13pm 
It appears that unlike the explorer ones which tasks get spread out
having more than one mechanic ends up sending all mechanics to the same target

what i would recommend/is that tasks get assigned to only one mechanic so that for example 3 don't all end up getting rocked by a meteor because they all choose to go out for the same target and instead make it possible to rescue a lost mechanic with other ones and therefore make a truly autonomous system... until every single one of them ends up getting smashed while moving towards each other... which is possible although unlikely but hey... that's why its 3 and not 2 ...maybe gonna change that to 4 tho :D

anyway i do hope i could give a idea and that i'm not overlooking something awfully obvious which would make this comment obsolete...
in that case i just wanna thank you for your beautiful work on pretty much all your mods i do enjoy a lot of them and they truly deserve to be categorized as quality of life mods

enjoy the day fam!

v0.7
Didn't repair some rovers.

The RC is not repairing, it goes to the broken RC and sits there making noise.

Found this spam on the log:

Suggestions are always welcome.
Sillls 12 Oct, 2018 @ 1:19pm 
lol. No. Just wish that it could do other things. Never mind. It's a good build. :)
ChoGGi  [author] 12 Oct, 2018 @ 11:36am 
Did you think I was lying in the description? :)
Sillls 12 Oct, 2018 @ 11:21am 
Nice looking build. But that's all it does. It repaired one RC and the rest of the time, it sits there with nothing to do. Maybe if it had another use?
The otehr RC's are being used all the time but this one only works if somthing breaks, and another drone dose not get there first.
Sillls 11 Oct, 2018 @ 4:42am 
Ah, I see. When you replyed with "Same as the others Rovers" I thought that you meant on the shuttle. Thanks. If you want to, you could take my screeshot and posted next to your's to avoid confusion. :)
ChoGGi  [author] 11 Oct, 2018 @ 3:08am 
Yeah, that's the correct one, same place as the other rovers (when you research them).
Where's your tribby icon?
ChoGGi  [author] 10 Oct, 2018 @ 12:28pm 
Screenshot?
Sillls 10 Oct, 2018 @ 12:19pm 
Hey, I found the RC but it was not in the right locaton. I found it under the build menu. Treats the RC like a building.
ChoGGi  [author] 10 Oct, 2018 @ 7:30am 
Make sure it's enabled in the mod manager. Load a game, quit, and upload your latest log to pastebin or somewhere.

I don't see it listed there and I have tryed starting a new game
ChoGGi  [author] 10 Oct, 2018 @ 7:04am 
Same place as the other rovers
Sillls 10 Oct, 2018 @ 6:45am 
How do you get it?
ChoGGi  [author] 9 Oct, 2018 @ 11:39am 
v0.2
Refunds 1/2 amount of cost for building (instead of 5 Metals/Poly) on demo.
Asneakyninja1 6 Oct, 2018 @ 10:23am 
You MIGHT wanna look into the salvage returns for this RC... Though its not THAT game breaking when you salavge the rover it gives back 5 metal AND 5 polymer.
