It works very well. Highly appreciate this MOD, a must have especially with moons, providing a high frequency of attacks. Thank You for this solution, thumbs up

does this still work?

It's unlikely that I will add any additional features. Survivors shouldn't do other things while drafted? Did something change in the game? I haven't played in a while.

@SpoiledInk13 I noticed when I select all battle bots I cant ask them to go to the battle stations collectively. Another thing is after the survivors are at the battle station they then go back to their duties automatically which is frustrating during a battle

@SpoiledInk13 great mod helps save time with the deployment of bots and survivors. I was hoping you could add when a bot is destroyed, the new bot built on that same station goes automatically to the same assigned battle station when ordered. Also is there a way to add a column list for all bots and be able to group certain battle bots?

@SpoiledInk13 Thank you... never played with work areas, didn't even know it had "features" :(

I'll try that out.
SpoiledInk13  [author] 28 Nov, 2023 @ 8:49am 
You can do that by using the use work area feature. The button is located on the work area flag.

Working very well, thank you. Super appreciated - especially with the ongoing advancements.

Is it possible to have a button that is, basically, the general sounding of battle stations? One button, and everyone with an assigned post goes to their assigned post.

Yay! Thanks for the update.

I have no2 entered the field of battle about 8 times since the update, and it has worked 100% perfectly.

I know you know it should, but I wanted to report that I'm seeing the same thing. (It's even a pre-existing save. The same one where I reported that crazy behaviour earlier)

Thank you!
And thank you to @injto4ka also!

With assistance from injto4ka (thank you!) I have sorted out all of the issues. It now also supports selecting multiple units and sending them to their battle stations.
SpoiledInk13  [author] 26 Nov, 2023 @ 1:22pm 
Setting and sending a unit to their battle station should now work correctly (existing saves may be forever munged though). However, the unit still fails to defend itself. Also, if anyone knows how to create a multi action please let me know.

injto4ka If you have suggestions please share. :)

There is a small tweak that has to be made in order to avoid the back and forth unit behavior.

Oh and <-- (she, her)

I spent a few days trying to sort out existing issues with this. Unfortunately, I have found that the functionality that I am using is not documented anywhere. Reverse engineering the API is extremely time consuming and frustrating. I'll upload the latest that fixes the issues with breaking robots. However, when reaching their destination they don't defend themselves. I haven't been able to figure out why. If anyone wants to tinker around with it feel free.

I made a comment to @Jaggid Edje about this. If you are interested in suggestions...

Had the same experience as Jaggid Edje when I tried moving where the Battle Station was located.
Jaggid Edje 25 Nov, 2023 @ 8:30pm 
This worked fantastic for me when I first started a new game, but now the survivors just spazz out and do a rotating, back and forth dance without actually going to their designated location when I use the button to send them to their battle stations.

I don't know if it's because my base got too large, or too complex, or what.
SpoiledInk13  [author] 25 Nov, 2023 @ 10:14am 
If drafted the button saves a location on the map as a survivors battle station. This location can be on a tower or anywhere else that is reachable. When undrafted you can click the button to have them automatically draft and then go to their assigned battle station.

I think i misread the mod. Does this mod treat towers like mechs where you can assign a survivor to a tower and this press a button in the photo when select them and tell them to "mount" up in the tower.
SpoiledInk13  [author] 25 Nov, 2023 @ 12:05am 
This mod currently works well for survivors. However, robots with a base station can break.
SpoiledInk13  [author] 24 Nov, 2023 @ 3:24pm 
Right now there is no option to select multiple units for actions. If I get some time I'll look into it. Right now I'm working on a mod for viewing all of your robots.
vapaman 24 Nov, 2023 @ 2:25pm 
Do you have to click on each survivor to send them to the assigned one or can you tell the group at once to go to the tower
vapaman 24 Nov, 2023 @ 2:23pm 
OMG, I love you.
Mantastic 24 Nov, 2023 @ 1:20pm 
This is a godsend! Thank you so much!
Count 24 Nov, 2023 @ 9:07am 
Amazing! Well done.
Love that survivors can be assigned to guard any location, not just towers.

Impressive!
