Shuttle Reservation System A.I.
v4.3.1 June 2nd, 2022
B&Bv2 and Prunariu patch Compatible and Coexistance with existing shuttle controls capable
I am honored some of my ideas have made it into the base game of Surviving Mars.
This mod is fully compatible, see coexistance section below.
This mod gives Shuttle Hubs and Shuttles smarter and optimized intelligence around colonist transportation and resource distribution.
This mod also introduces a few options to give the user more control of how shuttles make decisions and operate. These controls allow for fine tuning of deliveries.
The smarter A.I. results in a significant reduction of flight time, fuel usage and busy conditions for shuttles allowing you to move more with greater efficiency.
Optional but HIGHLY advisable to team this mod up with the following mod:
Faster Warehouse – Link
Faster Warehouse contains new Pad Normalization Routines that aid the A.I.
Features
- Set a Hub to dispatch shuttles for Colonist pickup only
- Set a Hub to dispatch shuttles for Resource pickup only
- Set a Hub to dispatch shuttles for both Colonists or Resources
- Change the A.I. for shuttles to an Advanced Resource Delivery A.I.
- Coexists and works with new shuttle controls in Gagarin patch, read below.
- Advanced Shuttle A.I to optimize resource deliveries and stop swapping
- Advanced Shuttle A.I. allows Shuttles to carry Waste Rock from Dump Sites to other Dump Sites.
- New statistics in the infopanel showing you top cargo deliveries in 24 hours.
- New Delivery Optimization routines
Before turning on the new Resource Delivery A.I. I highly suggest reading the guide.
A detailed instruction manual of how to use this mod, the new A.I. and how it all works is here:
User Guide
I am honored that parts of this mod make it into the base game.
This mod is complementary or can be a complete replacement for Gagarins shuttle controls.
Suffice it to say, the reservation system parts are nearly identical.
The A.I. replacement this mod gives you I still feel works better than the controls around the depots in Gagarin.
These controls can be used together for even more complete, albeit complex resource distributions.
Read the User Guide.
