Short list of Suggestions

[Zed]

A short list of suggestions that I hope to see in upcoming versions of Avorion:

 

1) Regarding Fleets:

 

a) Please permit more than one ship at a time to be selected for commands to be issued more efficiently

b) Please permit Ships to be ordered to effectively Salvage

b2) Please permit fighters ordered to salvage to automatically continue to the next nearest available salvage

c) Please permit ships to be order to pickup / haul cargo / drop off cargo (for those of us which are beginning to delve into building factories next to Ore / Noble Mines)

 

2) Regarding Stations:

 

a) Please permit players to transfer all cargo (of any type) with single-click to and from stations; This suggestion also applies to crew

b) Please show specialist levels in crew transfer page

c) please enable the use of systems chips on stations

 

3) Generally speaking:

 

a) Please permit Sergeants / Lieutenants / etc of grade 3 to be promoted to the next tier.

b) Please permit A generic Space Station which can have modular factories attached to it (with a station builder, let them "dock" to the existing station and merely increase the station's versatility)

c) Please permit Gem and Diamond Mining in Giant Asteroids as a station

d) Please decrease the sale value of force turrets

e) please permit force turrets to move asteroids

f) please permit shipyard construction of saved ships

 

Thank you in advance for considering these suggestions; additional commentary from the community is encouraged below.

In your avorion install directory, in the data/scripts/lib directory, add the following lines to the productionsindex.lua file:

 

 

table.insert(productions, {factory="${good} Mine ${size}", ingredients={}, results={{name="Gem", amount=1}}, garbages={}})

table.insert(productions, {factory="${good} Mine ${size}", ingredients={}, results={{name="Diamond", amount=1}}, garbages={}})

 

And while you're at it, also add:

table.insert(productions, {factory="${good} Mine ${size}", ingredients={}, results={{name="Coal", amount=1}}, garbages={}})

 

This will be overwritten if the game is patched :)

First priority being salvaging.
