Howdy! I usually play longer sessions of Avorion - and after some time (we are talking hours here) icons start to disappear, then soon after everything goes south. 2021-09-20 00-52-17| Starting thread [Stacktrace Sender]... 2021-09-20 00-52-17| Started thread [Stacktrace Sender] with id 400 2021-09-20 00-52-17| "data/scripts/entity/ai/salvage.lua":setObjectToHarvest: Remote call Error: Function doesn't exist. 2021-09-20 00-52-17| "data/scripts/entity/ai/salvage.lua":setObjectToHarvest: Remote call Error: Function doesn't exist. 2021-09-20 00-52-18| T: 1 2021-09-20 00-52-18| Object: N2cp13ClientScriptsE 2021-09-20 00-52-18| Execution Context (inner to outer): 2021-09-20 00-52-18| #0: data/scripts/entity/init.lua 2021-09-20 00-52-18| 2021-09-20 00-52-18| Error while adding file data/scripts/entity/init.lua: 2021-09-20 00-52-18| cannot open data/scripts/entity/init.lua: Too many open files 2021-09-20 00-52-18| 2021-09-20 00-52-18| Starting thread [Stacktrace Sender]... 2021-09-20 00-52-18| Started thread [Stacktrace Sender] with id 401 2021-09-20 00-52-19| failed to load texture from file "data/textures/icons/player.png" 2021-09-20 00-52-19| failed to load texture from file "data/textures/icons/sector.png" 2021-09-20 00-52-19| failed to load texture from file "data/textures/icons/strategy.png" 2021-09-20 00-52-19| failed to load texture from file "data/textures/icons/envelope.png" 2021-09-20 00-52-19| failed to load texture from file "data/textures/icons/player_trade.png" 2021-09-20 00-52-19| failed to load texture from file "data/textures/icons/robot.png" 2021-09-20 00-52-19| failed to load texture from file "data/textures/icons/drone.png" 2021-09-20 00-52-19| failed to load texture from file "data/textures/icons/flying-flag.png" 2021-09-20 00-52-19| T: 1 2021-09-20 00-52-19| Object: N2cp13ClientScriptsE 2021-09-20 00-52-19| Execution Context (inner to outer): 2021-09-20 00-52-19| #0: data/scripts/entity/init.lua 2021-09-20 00-52-19| 2021-09-20 00-52-19| Error while adding file data/scripts/entity/init.lua: 2021-09-20 00-52-19| cannot open data/scripts/entity/init.lua: Too many open files 2021-09-20 00-52-19| 2021-09-20 00-52-19| Starting thread [Stacktrace Sender]... 2021-09-20 00-52-19| Started thread [Stacktrace Sender] with id 402 2021-09-20 00-52-19| T: 1 2021-09-20 00-52-19| Object: N2cp13ClientScriptsE 2021-09-20 00-52-19| Execution Context (inner to outer): 2021-09-20 00-52-19| #0: data/scripts/entity/init.lua 2021-09-20 00-52-19| 2021-09-20 00-52-19| Error while adding file data/scripts/entity/init.lua: 2021-09-20 00-52-19| cannot open data/scripts/entity/init.lua: Too many open files The log file at that point is spewing out loads and loads of "Too many open files" errors.

Seriously... After playing with 2.0 for some days now, I really like most of the ideas. However - I absolutely don't like being dictated how to play the game. I don't want to be forced to use many smaller ships. I prefer to play with less, but more bulky ships. I'd like to build a R-Miner/Freighter, out of titan, but I cannot, because adding any decent amount of cargo space boosts up the processing power so far, I cannot build the ship in the first place. We are talking about a medium sized titan freighter/miner, that costs roughly 60k titan, but would need like 8 system slots. - If I reduce the cargo hold, I need to visit a refinery like every 10 minutes of mining. Lock those slots (for placing systems in there) until they get them unlocked by the required tech, but don't forbid people to use (older) large blueprints. I can build a "flying rock" to cheese my way through some certain bosses, but I am not allowed to fly a large chunk piece of scrap, because "cargo space" adds to much processing power?

Simple problem… You cruise around some sector with auto-salvaging turrets, fly near a station (to dock) - and you discover there seems to be some tiny piece of wreckage near the station which your salvage laser auto targets, and although it does absolutely ZERO damage to shields, you loose all your reputation in mere seconds... Seriously…

I'll wait for 0.21 before trying to update anything :)

I don't think so - whatever the ships do in "attack mode" is up the the core game.

Hm... As long as the AI switches to "attack mode" I doubt we can change that. Same goes for salvaging I guess. Another thing I've been thinking about are alliance ships - they currently don't report if they are done - I've seen that in the 0.17.1 beta one could send messages to a faction - on the other hand we might use the alliance chat for that.

I reuploaded r1 with a small bugfix (the old one would send you 15 messages if a ship is stuck)

Hm... Well the script sure does some additional checks (distance to asteroid, velocity of the ship). I don't know how "fly mode" compares to "attack mode" performance wise. I guess over all the performance should be similar - but I didn't profile that script yet.

Hi folks, I've tweaked the mining AI (based on beta 0.16.7). features fly towards mineable asteroids the stock ai goes into "attack mode" right away and hence crawls slowly across a sector to reach asteroids. this mod ai does check the distance and actually fly towards an asteroid before attacking (= way faster travel between asteroids) basic stuck detection the stock ai might get "stuck" in between other asteroids. this mod ai does check ship movement and will switch to the nearest asteroid (even those without resources) after 15 seconds of near standstill. if the ai is stuck for 5 minutes, a warning will be sent to the player. known issues unstuck won't work if all mining turrets are on "auto fire"; have at least one of them on manual possible features if there are no rich asteroids left send a message to the player and start mining the other asteroids instead of going idle. to install go to data\scripts\entity\ai copy mine.lua to mine.old replace mine.lua with the mod one history 2018-05-01 r1: initial release (fly, stuck detection) mine-r1.zip
