Hi KitsuneKas,

This is the constructor variant of the Tetra for manual grinding and welding.

So PAM is used for autodocking and gravity-aligning only, but not for grinding jobs (hence no sensor), as it does not have enough grinders to fit the ship in the hole it would grind.

If you are looking for a ship to do PAM grinding jobs, try the Tetra-AC 970 Salvager instead:

Unfortunately it looks like this BP lacks a sensor in the design, breaking PAM functionality completely. And of course this is the first constructor ship I printed in a new survival world. >.<

2 - The Hercules shouldn't get damaged just from flying if there are no mods being used, so I am not sure how it got damaged

3 - Unfortunately it won't repair by itself. It works like a normal projector, you will need to weld the missing blocks back, it is there so you don't have to figure out which blocks to place and with what settings etc.

So you'll have to turn on the repair projector, then take a welding ship (or your hand welder) anywhere that looks like there are damaged or missing blocks.

Thank you Master,

on question 1, yes I was talking about PAM and your answer was perfect, thank you very much, I will wait for your next updates. As I said, for me, your ships are the best found so far.

about 2, i do not use this mod, the ships just got some damages, not burned completly. Maybe it's normal ingame, and i din't say correctly.

about question 3 - this repair, wil repair automatic? or i need do for my self?

2 - The Hercules, Atlas and Pegasus series should be able to leave and re-enter planetary gravity, as well as the Hydrogen version of the Hestia. However, from your comment about burning, I am assuming you are using the "Atmospheric Drag & Re-Entry Effects" mod? If so, then I don't know if any of my ships will be what you are looking for, as I, so far, have only been designing without mods in mind.

3 - Each ship should be equipped with a repair projector, which is a projector block with a blueprint of the ship loaded into it and lined up. When the ship is damaged, look on Toolbar 6, button 5 from the cockpit for the projector, turn it on, and it should project and missing blocks.

I hope that helped, let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi V.α.я.є.L.L.α, thanks, I'm glad you like the ships!

1 - I think you are talking about the PAM script? If so, then in the constructor, the script is used for automatic docking only. As far as I know there is no way for PAM to create a welding job, so it is for grinding and mining only.

The constructor series is not suited for using as a grinding ship, because it will not fit in the gap it grinds, instead you can use any of the ships in the Tetra Salvager series that have three grinders, like this one:

When I get a chance to continue updating the ISL fleet I will replace PAM for another alternate docking script and add what I have said now about grinding jobs to the descriptions

hello master Spite,

first of all i would like to thank you or your team for making all these ships.

I have traied many blue prints, some really beauty, but no one is so functional and easy to fly or programming like yours.

you guys is the best!

so, i am used normaly the mining ships, i would like to learn new functions and i am trying to use this contructor one.

1 - Is it the same system like mining? how it's working? i need set the radius for what i want to construct and the ship will get the material in my containers and build my projects?

2 - and have you guys some ship good for i go out space from the earth? i have tried one of your ships, i think hercules, but it burned when I entered the atmosphere, because that i am trying this new contructor, to repair the ship.

3 - hm, and how working please this options repair project in all ships ?

and really thanks, you guys got my favorite projects for all ships i founded from ISL

Thanks Kaito, and yes I totally agree!

I have been using this one for a long time in survival, probably more than any of the other utility ships and It's definitely a favourite.

But the Neriida is always still there for getting into tight spaces, or high ones like you say (I usually play with Jetpack nerfing)
Kaito 29 Apr, 2021 @ 12:08pm 
This is quickly turning into my favourite ship ever. Compact, excellent thrust, just enough cargo to be worth the hassle. I've used this ship to build pretty much my entire base, do repairs on other ships, and even did some combat salvaging with some Reavers buzzing around while dodging missiles.

The Tetra Mk1 gets the Coveted (not really lol) Kaito Star of Excellence :P

The Neriida has basically turned into my personal jetpack drone. I just stand on it while I RC it around. Who needs jetpacks anyway, amirite.

Thanks!

Excellent upgrade to the Neriida, although I still keep that one around for tight jobs. Must have in 1-1-1 worlds.
