Outside the scope of this PR but what do you think of a shuttle mounted scanner that could provide similar functionality in broad terms and provide the mechanisms needed to spawn gas deposits? I'm thinking for the purposes of the Ambition/other future shuttles that may not benefit from having a player present in the locations that may be most beneficial for approaching and investigating an asteroid. |
Possible. It's a little bit of a pain because you'll need to generate the number of entities to place ahead of time, then pull from that value when making the floor plan. Outside of world generation though, you can just point to the asteroid with that non-zero value within a range from, say 20-100m, which should be fine if you're pointing to some arbitrary point on the asteroid. |
A general remote scanner to say "yes, this one is probably worth going in manually to check things out" vs "no, nothing seems to be here" scanner. Not enough to let you sit and review an entire sector but maybe enough to be a QoL issue if it ever comes up. Not sure if it's a matter for concern for Ambtition pilots. I'm not sure why anyone flies the Ambition, having none myself. |
Holy BUI this is cool, ill give it a test soon |
About the PR
Renames the gas deposit locater to the gas deposit scanner. Adds a really simple, gas analyzer-like interface to see the approximate composition of a gas deposit. Used like the gas analyzer, hold it in-hand, click the deposit on the ground to view it.
Gas mining drills now give an estimate of the amount of gas remaining in a deposit to the nearest kilomole.
Minor reorganization: moves the bidirectional pump UI to a BUI folder along with the GasDepositScanner and GasSalePoint BUI.
Why / Balance
Gas mining quality of life.
How to test
Media
The composition of a very large air deposit, showing each composition amount from Enormous to Trace.
