DeMerge - Auto Convert Station to Ship (unsupported)

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2927777502

-----------

This small script will automatically convert Station grid to Large Ship grid under certain conditions.
Can automatically rename detached grids.

Useful for making custom airtight hangar doors on stations which is not possible other wise.
Can also be used for merge-landing of large ships on stations or other large ships and taking off without need to manually hit "convert to ship" button or renaming the ship back to something meaningful.
Should work with modded Merge blocks as long as they mimic vanilla Merge Block.

Add "[AutoConvert]" tag to one of the Merge blocks that are on side that is expected to be converted to ship. Tag is Case Sensitive.
If there is # anywhere in the name of the merge block then the name of converted grid will be changed to whatever is following the # sign. Auto renaming will also work for grids detached from other Ships, not just stations

Merge Block 115 [AutoConvert] #My Very Uniq Named Miner Drone

The following conditions are required for the automatic conversion to happen:
1. Owner of the tagged Merge block must be the direct owner of the detached grid.
2. Merge blocks must be turned off all at once OR block that has "[AutoConvert]" tag must be the last to be turned off.
3. One or more of direct neighbors of Merge block must actually detach from the station when tagged Merge block is turned off.
This condition can be turned off by adding bang sign to tag: "[AutoConvert!]".

Alternative tags (if tags with [] don't work for you): {AutoConvert} / {AutoConvert!}


For automatic door you would want to control merge blocks through programming block as Blocks Groups can behave strangely on merge.
