Just overwrite the existing production management script aboard the Alexander with the new One from the Script Subscription.

Automated Production Management a bugfix has been uploaded to get the program running again. But you have to install it manually into the Alexander. Will update the blueprint ASAP.

Yeah that will definetly happen, but I am still working on my trading Script to get the exploration mod running, so it might take some Time to get them all updated, I apologize.

Mahtrok, any chance for an upgrade? Mainly the scripts for the ship with the new Hydrogen engines and new doors. Hands down this is a great survival vessel and would love to see it retrofitted as new developements arrive!

Thank you :-) but you should ne aware that those assemblers are automatically controlled and if you want to keep the automatic production management Running you do need at least 24 assemblers for this is the amount of vanilla components.
And yes it is definetly inspired by many scifi movies and series as all my ships.

Regards Mahtrok

Love it. Might MOD it a bit before I build one in survival though. Need less assembly.might fill the space with something else.

In the third picture (looking at the back) the design reminds me of something of a mix between BSG and Stargate SG1. But awesome none the less.

In fact the first "Alexander" was a modular design, built from Modules and was therefor a litlle bit larger.
A Command Module with Bridge, Cryo & Medbay, a Production & Refinery Module, a Jumpdrive & Reactor Module, a Main Engines Module and 2 Cargo Modules on Port and Starboard.
This Ship is instead built Block by Block started with the Command Module. This made it a lot smaller by providing the same functionality...a much better deal for survival.

Yes, the looks are diminished by adding solar panels by far, however when playing survival... it's all about surviving haha! I looked back at the power consumption of the assemblers and you are correct. They really don't need PE modules. I reverted back to the default build and added the solar panels back.

Thank you! I'm happy you like it.

After a few moments of thinking i agree with your idea of the timer delay. At first i took 2 Secs to avoid decompression in case of exiting, but only the Airlock Door to the outside needs to have this delay. The Inner doors can open nearly directly. I will change this tomorrow on the Blueprint. I did not add more Solar panels to not destroy the outer look, even if i like the idea of "green" energy and most of my ships do use Reactors only as a backup and are driven by Solar/Battery Power.
I did not add Power Efficiency Modules because of the lack of space inside the Ship and through the use of the Automated Production Management Script all Assemblers are required but do not work at the same time so the power consumption shouldn't be that large at all.

Bravo!

I've tested this vessel and inspectd in inside and out. Great job on the fluidity of the setup, especially with compartmental oxygen distribution! This is an excellent survival vessel. The only modifactions I added were a few more solar panels to the exterior and added Power Efficiency modules to some assemblers. Also tweeked the response time of the cockpit doors to have less delay.

Overall, this is one of the best vanilla survival starter ships currently on the Workshop. Thanks for putting in the hard work!
