Small Update 1.0.4

Patch Notes 1.0.4

Added in-game Documentation

• New icon to make it easier to find:

• Document the location property .biomass for the biomass available to trees at that location. That's been in the language but we missed the documentation page.

• More details and examples in the hover box for many commands.

Text Scripting Command Options

There are a bunch of settings on commands in the visual scripting with no equivalent option in the text scripting. We've added a new syntax that allows adding options to the end of a command:

[c] : option option ...[/c]

New Options

• Go To Heading: let's you control what direction a drone is facing at the end of a goto command:[c] goto : heading [/c] Forward, backward, left, and right are relative to the starting heading.

• Place Beacon Role [c]place beacon : role [/c]The entity set specifies and the role for the beacon and optionally the team: [c]place beacon : role [Quarry][/c] Sets the role; the team matches the team of the drone or surveyor that placed the beacon. [c]place beacon : role [Quarry].team(red)[/c] Sets both the role and the team.

• Place Beacon Size [c]place beacon

  size [/c] Sets the size of the placed beacon up to 25x25. Place Beacon allows multiple options so you can, for instance, set the role, filter, and size in one command.

  Example [c]place beacon

  size (5, 5) [/c]Creates a 5x5 beacon with the drone at the center.

• Place Beacon Filter [c]place beacon : filter [/c] Example [c]place beacon : filter ironore + limestone.1[/c] set the filter to Iron Ore and and the Limestone I variant.

• Place Beacon Empty [c]place beacon : empty [/c] Sets the hide when empty or delete when empty options on the beacon.

• Signal To [c]signal to

  [/c]Sends a signal to a specific entity.[c] signal to : [/c]Sends a signal to all entities in a role or role+team.

  Example [c]signal mine to

  [Miner].onteam(red)[/c] sends the signal mine to all drones with the Miner role on team red.

Other new Text Scripting Features

• Location function lets you construct locations with expressions. Example [c]goto location(this.location.x + #.number * 5, @.location.y)[/c]

• Location.withx(), Location.withy() Lets you construct a location by replacing a component of another location. Example [c]goto this.location.withx([Quarry].nearest.location.x)[/c]

• Location.biomass Returns the amount of biomass available to a tree if planted in that location.

• Location.plantable Returns and item set of seeds that can grow at that location.

• deletebeacon Surveyor command to delete a beacon.

Bug Fixes

• Text script team names are now case insensitive.

• Allow goto near/high/low/random point of a surveyor in a text script.

I am also still working on my text scripting playthrough of the game. The latest video shows scripting conveyors with item sets and requests. This'll be an ongoing series with a focus on how the elements of scripting work together.
