Oh

@Nigel★۞: Well this lag upon destruction is why I added the mini factories ;) Those work exactly the same as normal ones but should lag a lot less when broken.

@Geneosis Thats a Great Reason Btw Make Normal Factorys Smaller

@Something That Should ♥♥♥♥ You: Yeah that's my attempt at "cleaning up the mess after you break it so that it won't lag forever" XD It still lags for a while, but it should resolve itself eventually ;)

THERES A FUCKING BLACK HOLE IN IT!!!!!!

I know it would be a pain in the ass to add more content, but if the mod was bigger and slightly deeper it would pretty much be the best mod in the game. It's your mod obviusly, but I can't help but think balancing isn't that big of a deal. The player can already configure the mod a lot, they can also just place more factories of one team and bye balancing. Think of that "decentraliced balancing" as a friend and let the player tinker with it. Having the option to disable some drones in the options might help too while adding content. Whatever you do I love the mod and the concept, I just wish I had more to do on it. Love your work! Have a nice day.

make titan cameraman

@Plazich: Not so far no, I feel like it's sort of balanced the way it is now so I'm not sure if I want to add too much to it ^^

ok thanks

@harun_yezer: What is important to know if one drone will attack another is not their color but their Team (you can make the team color and drone color match if you want in the mod options). Also when you pick drones from the spawn menu freidly drones are always in team 1 and enemy drones always in team 0.

Hey Blue Drones attacking Blue factory WHY?
i spawned Blue drones Directly From Spawn menu

pls

can you make a mod that has ww1 robot looking ground troops

@theterminator429: If some other mods exist doing that, then this mod uses tags that should let them aim at the drones, but it may be some extra work for the mods authors.

@mrp1212: This mod was mainly focusing on flying drone as it gives them a lot more freedom to explore the map and a lot less chances to be stuck (compared to land vehicles). Also land drones would need a very different way to get controlled by the script and to pathfind, so I think I prefer to keep it this way and focus on flying ones ;)

we need ground drones

I wish that AI controlled tanks would fight against these

yea baby!

we need more drones

@Geneosis: NVM I figured it out

@boyspauls: What do you mean? If you spawn several Factories in a row and don't touch their team they should all start in a different team... Then you can change the team to group some of them together if you want.

No matter how many teams I allow in my game it only allows 3

@Depresso gaming save tf2: You open the spawn menu (there should be a button for that when you hit Escape), then search for "drone" in it (see the first screenshot up on this page), then you can pick the factory or drone you want from there ^^

how do i spawn a factory

Mod updated! You can now select in the options how much percent of the max armor will be recovered when an armor is rebuilt after being broken ;)

I guess bring water bots next

@frankiepoop2002: So what would be the point of carrying other drones? Do you mean carry miner drones to protect them somehow while they mine? Also its weaponry seems to be higher than the current MK3 drones, so that would probably cost quite a lot.

could we get a new drone, it would be a carrier that can carrier only mk 1 drones and it would have two wings that each have two blasters on them and one big laser on the centre

@help: Was the enemy drone factory or some other drones from the same factory attacked at all when it was fighting or not? Right now my best guess is that it considered defending its own base or a freindly drone higher priority than attacking the enemy base... But I would like to be sure that's it, and not an actual bug ^^

Sadly I don't have any clips but I watched an enemy fighter drone murder all the drones at an enemy base and just leave the enemy base there. Tier 3 fighter drone murders all the other drones and proceeds to wander away from the enemy base.

@help: Were those fighter drones? If so this should not happen if the factory is in their line of sight (no obstacle between them)... Unless they are somehow retreating because their own Factory is under attack. If you have short recordings of it happening, please share them, maybe it will help figure out what went wrong :)

Hacker drone be like Wololo (Age of Empires reference)

Can you make the drones target enemy factories more? I've watched enemy drones just kinda wander on by unprotected enemy factories.

Mod updated! Enemy Drones should now correctly aim at the player even in third person view.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE MORE PACIFIC RIM BRO PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

@bpl81uf: As discussed in earlier comments, this mod is designed to handle very well up to 4 factories on the map at full production (with all their drones), so even if the player can spawn many more than that, I want to avoid having an automatic mechanism producing more and more factories (this is why the decoy drone produce fake factories and not actual working ones). So even if a mothership would be a very cool idea sadly I think it would become laggy way too fast :/

@VolcanoFlynn: Open the Spawn menu ingoame and search for "drone", you should see all the factories as well as each individual drone from this mod ^^

how to start

Drone Idea: The Mothership it is just a big drone with heavy weapons and can produce normal drones and factorys.

@Cat_4480 & EggMasterMiles: This should not happen if you have the latest version of the mod... Do you maybe have some custom player model? Even if you do that should work, but just in case those models are the issue please let me know which one you are using.

Swing it, thrust it, slash it, stab it, smash it, slice it, be a true Ascended Sword Master !

How do i stop them from shooting me its really annoying

feedback: great mod but i get attacked by an enemy bot getting controlled by a friendly
suggestion: allow the player to damage the drones and/or base

@Plazich: Hmmm that was not really the plan for this mod, as a land vehicle (or bot) would require a quite different type of AI to operate, and existing robots currently have no ability to detect and/or attack other bots :/

Ok thanks!

@SharkBait: Well the Hacker Drones were designed as a catch up mechanic when a Factory falls way behind others because it is damaged a lot or loses a lot of Drones :) So I think it servers that purpose pretty well ^^ Still if you are lookinng for shorter fights, you can simply disable spawn for Hacker Drones in the mod options ;)

When i made two factories fight, the losing team's hacker drones just stall it way to much. Perhaps make a way hacker drones can overpower their control? (if more than one hacker drone try to out-hack the bad hacker drone, they will overpower it and stun/damage/kill it.

@Smok1: That is my personal "cleanup" mechanic in order to remove all the debris when a large Factory is destroyed :p (else it stays lggy)

i used the remover tool on an enemy drone thation. THERE WAS A BLACK HOLE THAT STARTED DETANATING EVERYTHING WTF

@mrp1212: Of course, by default every Factory fight every other Factory :) But you can setup Teams if you want more than one Factories to fight together.

can the blue one fight the orange one
