I can't move the drone up or down, on the y axis, do you know why?

Would it be possible to make this move with wsad or is it hard coded?

You start small... understand how systems work on a default sub. Then download some interesting stuff and see how that works. And slowly grasp each component and eventually you become an autistic monkey who likes to spend more time in the submarine editor, than actually playing the game *insert pepe drinking juice emoji here*

Just discovered this, I am trying to make my own autonomous bot, My question is mainly where in the love of god did you learn to do all this wiring? I am slowly starting to get a grasp on the easier to understand things like wifi, delays, OR and SIG components. But I am very curious how you figured all this out.

Recently stumbled upon this mod and absolutely love it. Very engaging way for the captain to participate in away missions, and an amazing aesthetic both in the drone's design and the various text display boxes for its status.

Have not had any issues thus far on the latest patch, thank you for this!

AWESOME ! does it work in the latest Patch?

No idea if it works in the latest patches. Technically it should. Just follow the instructions.

@Fabo, Does this mod work? This would BE NEAT to use.

It uses supercapacitor, which has been reworked in the last patch, so i'm not surprised. i will fix it... at some point...

Hmm, for some reason the UFO drone will discharge once and then never again, not sure why that happens.

I'm loving the drone but I have an issue when testing it.
Sometimes, when I'm moving it, it appears a "ghost copy" of its periscope and display boxes that fallows it around. Also, when that bug appears, it stops maintaining position and I can't dock it again.

hey i have a black box inside the drone for some reason.
any idea why?

Cool! I would appreciate that. I am a fan of exposed circuits for in-game customization, and reducing the amount of components is certainly going to be helpful.

The drone has this range finder, which most probably 98% of the time you ppl don't notice. But it actually takes a lot of components. Today I realized that with the new coordinates pins, I can reduce the number of components and wifis drastically for the range finder. So I might do that in the coming days... cuz right now the drone has more components than a standard submarine.

Yes! It works perfectly now. Great mod!

Perfect! Thanks for the fix, @fabo, works great now! Amazing addition to any sub

We will try your new version later :) Otherwise the might of the Honkmother is with us !

I suspect the problem was the new engine I've put. Even though it has the box "invulnerable to dmg" it didn't had the tick - cannot interact. So bots might be trying to get to it or something... Hopefully it is fixed now...

Sorry I wanted to report earlier but then I unfortunately forgot. So the only way we managed to solve the weird problem with the bots going crazy because they couldn't fix anything is this: One of us had to make an assistant and take the clown talents where you can repair by tooting the horn. Several times the drone then honked despite the fact that it is supposedly completely "healthy" and then the bots have returned to normal. Future, actual damage to the drone could then be fixed as actually thought with a welder without spinning the bots.

Alright. Updated. Fixed. Took me only 4 hours to figure out the problem. Hopefully now it works... F**king Baro wiring...

WHY the fuck is the hull outside the drone... what the fuck happened....

Hey @fabo ! Love the build, excellent concept and execution.I’m having the same bug as @Vnyx & @Hinny. I think I figured out part of the problem: when I load the UFO Mark II submarine the hulls+gap are OUTSIDE of the structure, so the pump can’t control buoyancy. I linked screenshots of the offset (https://photos.app.goo.gl/M4kgJJfFtfiPuPz39) & where I moved them back, where I assume(?) you’d put them (https://photos.app.goo.gl/Uu6z975qjntbwjBq8) .
Moving the hulls over WORKED & it stopped giving a 'no signal' or 'breached hull' error, but the buoyancy control of the drone is still off & I wasn’t sure how your wiring worked to know how to fix it.
Just moving the hulls over (so the pump was at the bottom of the small square hull) produced a VERY buoyant drone that flew straight up. Putting the pump in the large hull only does the opposite. The closest I got was linking the two hulls with the pump right at the bottom. Seemed to work, but still too buoyant. What do you think?

I like the looks of this mod a lot! However I can't seem to get this to work. I use it in a custom sub but the hull always start as breached and it rapidly ascends no matter what I do. Though, I can steer it left and right, but not down.

I have had this installed before but it does not work even if I uninstall and install it again. The corresponding directory seems to disappear when it is uninstalled so I cannot "delete" any lingering version of this in the Mods directory of barotrauma. Please advice

There are some non-hidden cables in the control part, and also some cable that appear to not be connected to anything but that might be how this is represented graphically. Is it possible something went wrong when you updated this mod? Or is it something that is not updating correctly on my end?

I've updated the file. 2 new components in the drone didn't had the non intractable tag clicked. Which technically shouldn't matter since they were invulnerable to damage, but yeah. Hopefully this fixes it.

It is on another submarine on which I play with friends. So the drone itself works without any problems and can / does what is also listed here in the description. The problem with the bots going crazy is also not always consistent. Only sometimes. We are still trying to figure out what the problem might be. If you do a full repair on a station, for example, the problem for a while no longer occurs and then out of nowhere it happens again. I can unfortunately say nothing concrete to describe it in more detail, at least it does not occur to me at the moment better.

Can you tell em if this is on my sub Levski or on some other sub you've installed it?

So far a really cool Drone with which i have quite my fun. The only thing that is a bit strange (no idea if it has to do with the Drone itself) is that certain bots that are supposed to take care of mechanics/hulls permanently try to repair something near the docked drone or something even though there is nothing there. In this respect they don't stop and don't do their other work anymore.

Yay! Can´t wait to test it :) Thx for the Update.

AAAAND IT'S UPDATED!

This is the drone I actually wanted to make from the beginning. I can now say it's finished : P

Don't stress yourself. I was just curious :)

AAaaaahhhhh...... it is kinda ready... just had to test it... and write the labels what to write where.... I'll try to make it happen this weekend

May I ask how the update of the drone is going? I've looked at many drones and yours is about the only one that really interests me, especially since A) it's not too big and B) it's not too overpowered, which I think is a good thing.

Drone will be updated for the new patch. Fully periscope navigation with maintain position if you don't push it around. Better manuverability. Removal of the navigation console and placing a simple sonar for minerals.

This is really cool! I love the concept and design!

One note, the UFO is the complete drone, and there is no *Mark II*, which would be like a new, improved version...

"UFO MK II" should be called *UFO Assembly* to avoid confusion.

Thanks for making this!

The periscope works now, for some reason. However, it still ascends rapidly. I believe it is powered, since all checks are green. Using the buttons just lights up said buttons red but otherwise do not seem to do much.

yeah so... The terminal thing is from the new patch. I have to manually change the lenght of the text to something like 5000 and readd the text. Didn't think it would happen, since for some reason, on my sub they all work. Barotrauma being barotrauma.

The second problem - you have to turn on power to the drone and light preferably. After that you technically should have no problem. If it ascends quickly, then it probably has no power and the pump is leaving the ballast empty. This will also explain the periscope not working. There is a battery counter. If the battery is not dropping, then you have no power to the systems.

Also the drone won't move, even though it lights up in the middle when I left click in the periscope. They just... reverse sink? They move up until they are out of range (tested while maintaining position)

Hello, I have have tried installing this drone on a submarine. The drone spawns, the periscope works, but the navigation terminal displays "no signal". I have tried interaction with the terminal, typed "drone" as instructed but it it only says:

> Welcome the UFO Support Drone Manual
>
> This is a scout class drone that can support divers in various tasks
> The drone has 2000 battery charge that depending on use can last 10

I could use some help, it simply won't work.

For people that don't know - unsibscribe - go to the mods folder and delete the files for this - subscribe again to download the new files. Baro is like that...

So it seems I tried your method and yet the drone still sinks while using the periscope :/

Ok just tried on my sub. I confirm that only making these changes works ( https://i.imgur.com/CMOchJy.png ), thanks @Fabo for the help !

@LastRequest

I had the same issue so i asked Fabo and he was kind to point me towards these 3 components on the control side (what is installed in the sub).
See https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/822776551493730334/835533478707200060/unknown.png

I have not yet tried to fix it on my side but i guess by comparing the new one versus the one installed you will manage !

Do you know exactly what the issue is? Is it periscope side or drone side? I have the drone installed and trying to replace all parts is proving to be very cumbersome.

UFO drone updated for the abyss update - there was a issue with neutral boyancy when operated with Periscope. Circuit has been changed and fixed.

This is AMAZING, very well done guys, pretty impressive

Yes you got the question perfectly !
No worries i was just wondering if you had any tips.

I did put a door as well in the end to workaround the issue like you did in your sub.

Thanks !

You can try changing the glass hull to normal shell walls, and move the oscilating search lights to the sides, but the periscope one that follows your mouse will be a problem with the centering. Also the drone will block line of sight for the divers when it's around them in water, and I kinda dislike that. It's not like divers block each others line of sight.

I don't think I can help you on that particular request :S

Not sure I get your question - you don't like that you can see through the drone? It doesn't cast a shadow? The thing is... it's walls are glass, because all the search lights that oscilate, and the periscope saerch light, are all inside the hull and rotate at different angels, so they need 360 transparency to work in all directions. That circular plate - it's just deco to hide all the ugly components inside. Now on my sub, I have a door that i need to open in order to access the docked drone. And yes i think i can see outside when that is open and the drone docked.

How to fix this... you can put doors on the outside of the drone docking bay, they will block view, but unfortunately since they won't be connected to any hulls, you can just move through them. and by you i mean monsters also. So you fix the view problem, but will kinda look silly when there is a mudraptor stuck there and you won't be able to see it.

Hey !

Thanks for the upload, it's quite easy to install on another sub as an upgrade by following the instructions !

Do you have any recommendations on how to avoid seing "through" the drone when it is docked and i want to check its content ?
For example if there is a light outside i can see it coming inside the drone access bay.
Maybe i should try have some doors outside that close when the drone is docked.
