Ship Control Module
The Ship Control Module is a new multiblock that requires an Advanced Contraption Controller to be placed directly on top of it.
It enables create train style automation using the Shipping Schedule and Ship Docks, it does it's own live path finding and sub-level/world collision avoidance.
Currently it only supports ships that are steared and propelled by Thrusters added by this mod, Create Propulsion Simulated thrusters do work to a degree but not fully.
Known issues with the
Ship Control Module:
- Doesn't work correctly with planes, boats, ground vehicles or sail like blocks on bearings.
- Most features are only fully supported with the thrusters added by G&G, other propulsion mod support is being worked on.
Gadgets and Gizmos update 1.3.0 is already being worked on and was being worked on side-by-side with the 1.2.0 release, 1.3.0 will bring better usability to the Ship Control Module including a full GUI and better ground vehicle, plane, and boat support.
