Hi William, very nice and interesting Mod!!, A quick question, is there any way to "disassemble" a drone? (or to exchange modules?)

You can open the drone's inventory, and press "Itemize" to "disassemble" a drone.
But to change modules you have to go to the "Remote screen", choose a module, and press uninstall.

Just downloaded the latest version and found a very significant change in recipes : Drone Bits... Seems like is easier now to create drones, I did my first one with a bunch of ender pearls.... :-(, but.. JEI does not show the drone bits recipe... so, I'm stuck!, please help..

PS Now I see, the bits are from those little wild drones... never mind, I'll go hunting!! :-)

Glad things worked out xD

1.10.2 Server multiplayer loads...a min. later crashes without any players online. Seems to be an entity thing.

It is the latest version installed. Sample below and full report above in a link.

Description: Exception while updating neighbours

Making models are actually not my strength xD And since i'm opting for performance, too complex models are quite out of the question

I'll see to it. Thanks for the report!

hi nice mod indeed i love it i have noticed issue while trying this mod the camera keeps shaking (even in minecraft LOL) in preset mode if you can add option to disable drones from spawning in the world and and enable crafting recipe for the bites it will be better because i didn't find option for that more options means the more balanced game , its good to see that you can change the rarity of the drone tower i suggest to make the drones spawn only in the towers the drone tower is huge thanks for you reading this long feedback .

Removing the drone spawn and enabling bits recipe will just ruin the reason I made those drones anyway. Though you can change their spawn rate to be very low.

It looks a great mod, but i cant make the drone move. I link the controller and the drone, but i dont have any more options than the hovering mode. What can i do?

You need to craft a movement module, install to your drone, and then you will have other flying options

This mod look so fun and I just watched DanTDM video so I think I may make a video for this one.

Please do

i tried to change the spawn rate to low but dosent work i made them all same to the big baby dron ( 1 , 1 , 1) can make disable or enable option this will be easier for me (sorry i have issues with numbers lol) thanks i love this mod that's why i am feeding back this mode adds more fun to the game

i have suggestions for the future update :

1- Drone stations so so the can have there own AI so the unload or load things or auto charge

2 -Drones for specific jobs like in Sim city 5 cities of tomorrow drones ( you can make A.I modules for example (security AI , Fighter AI , Agriculture AI , etc..) for that you need to craft a communication tower and Yes! if you can Make it Runs on RF power it will be awesome!!!!!! more RF more drones you can control

I hope this feed back is not annoying and i hope you like it

Best wishes

Nice suggestions
I'm actually considering the same thing.

Looks like no matter what i do setting the spawn rates of drones insanely low (big=1 wild=2 baby=5) and towers at like 1000

after enough time the mob spawn count gets high enough no monsters spawn in my worlds.

i am using the up to date version as of 9/1/2016 any way to stabilise the mob spawns ? maybe limit the drones to spawn only in the day and despawn at night O_o cause i gotta be honest i really love this mod but for some reason no matter what i do this mod seems to outspawn default minecraft mobs

I'll see to the problem

Do you plan to roll in the changes fin 1.5 to the 1.8.9 MC version? I was enjoying playing with this mod until I had a very serious crash while monitoring the battery via the update screen. When the drone ran out of juice the world crashed and got corrupted. I resolved it by removing the mod, which took out the blocks and items. I also backup regularly.

I have to play 1.8.9 because this is primarily a Thaumcraft world and the drones are great for messing with the Crimson Cult

Hoping to see this mod keep moving forward.

There actually are things that are not available in 1.8.9 so the backward porting is very troublesome, so unfortunately I won't be developing for older MC versions

I understand. Will there at least be bug fixes? Or in particular this devastating bug? Have you had a report of it before and do you know offhand what is the cause? I can submit more info if needed. Best regards.

That crash is code-wise, there's no way for it to not happen, unfortunately. Hopefully Thaumcraft will update soon
