Waste rock and more.....

[Robot #42]

Would be nice if rovers would auto collect waste rocks like other resources. Also they could collect resources from salvaged vehicles and such.
Maybe another mod that allows you to sell or trade resources for cash or other resources. Say to Venus Expedition Group ( someone trying to colonize Venus ) or some such thing.
Thank you.

Drones in range do that if there are also the appropriate depot or dump site.

I do agree that Dozers should have the option to auto collect waste rock that is not in a dump site and bring it there. Just like the automated mode for the RC Transporter.

Drones in range will. Would be nice if rovers would gather up say after cleaning a toxic pool that is out of range. Rovers could run over a bring it back.

Would love it I there was a way to have dozers auto collect waste rock, while no active landscaping is going on. As for rovers, I think I'd like to keep that separate from the collect resources button, but I'd love it if they were given a new button that just tells them to find all the waste rock.

Also would like it if I could say set Command rovers to auto travel to toxic pools.

Finally, given how waste rock on a landscaping project can bring it to a halt and landscaping nanites will often pile up waste rock out of reach rovers and non-wasp drones. Would be nice if maybe shuttles could gather waste rock without it being in a deposit, just don't have it as the default setting and be something the player has to turn on.

I think there is a mod for the first. I'm not sure if it was a mod by ChoGGi.

The 2nd I think will make more problems than anything. Since RC Commanders are used for more important stuff.

I think RC Dozers should be able to clean toxic pools. It just makes alot more sense and gives more meaning to have at least 1 Dozer. Since the RC Commander and his drones which have 2 specific terraforming techs for better working on landscaping projects.

The last one with the shuttels. That will just brake the game a bit too much IMO.

There is a mod that adds an auto clean for toxic pools to commanders. It is called AutoClean made by Vissaben. You can turn it on and off as needed. I don’t use dozers as they just get stuck. They will try to process landscaping projects. They just ram into it over and over like they are trying doing absolutely nothing. Maybe they could be fixed to work correctly and add a function to retrieve waste rock scattered across the map.
