Easy system of energy for the drones

I will have to think about. I didn't use rf to keep it simpler for the user to have a lot of drones. Could maybe make it use coal or something but I'm not sure if that would be more fun or just more grinding to use a lot of them

commented

I had been thinking about it.

I think it's a good idea to implement an energy system because it would be a bit tricky to use the mod, because out of nowhere the drones do the work for you

commented

What do you think is better? Make them run on items like wood and coal or implement some rf power system. The power system would make it a lot more complicated because you need to have a place for the drones to recharge and implement a generator to generate the rf.

commented

I think that is better implement rf but at the moment this is a little mod, don`t complicate it, it is better to make this fuel as coal

commented

I've started working on a basic system, what would you think is a good way to display how much fuel it has left? Displaying as items above them probably won't work there are already a lot of items displaying.

commented

I'll start working on a test with fuel next week (or earlier depending on when I release the update)

commented

I've been messing around with the fuel idea but it doesn't feel right. If I implement a fuel system it should probably be with RF and not with burnable items (It totally messes up the tree farms lol). I've rolled back the changes to before I began testing with fuel for now.

commented

what do you think on a basic charging station near the home of the bots

commented

I've also been thinking about that. But I want the mod to be usable without another mod installed for power generation. So I would have to add an option to disable the need for fuel and automatically detect if a power generation mod is installed.

commented

this is a good idea
