A new block that will automatically repair damaged blocks within your claim. Introduces a new block that is based on a storage chest. You need to put in materials that are then used to repair random blocks within its vicinity. The auto repair block has it's own (slightly increased) range, but will only repair blocks that are within your or your allies claim (block the owner could also pickup). So it's recommended to place the auto repair block close to your actual claim block. Btw. they don't repair themselves.
The block will slowly and randomly try to pick blocks around its perimeter and checks if it needs repair and if the required material are in the storage. Once those prerequisites are met, the actual repair will start. Blocks are not gradually repaired, but rather take time to fully restore the durability. If a block that is being repaired is further damaged, the auto repair is aborted. You should hear a sound from the box when it is repairing blocks and also if a block in repair is further damaged (and repair in progress is aborted).
Make sure you have placed a Land-Claim Block, otherwise it will not work!
- Place the block within claimed land
- Interact with the Block by pressing
E - Open the box inventory and put in repair materials
- Make sure to enable the auto repair block (hold
E) - Once enabled, you should see a gray outline around the box
- Wait for it to find a damaged block it can repair (yellow outline)
This mod is compatibly with Undead Legacy out of the box, e.g. no further
compatibility patches are needed. But you will need to make sure that this
mod loads after the regular undead legacy mods. You can e.g. accomplish
this simply by renaming the folder to ZClaimAutoRepair.
Given the big range a repair block covers, finding a specific damaged block can take quite a bit of time. Consider that when more blocks are damaged, the random finding of damaged blocks has a much higher chance. If only one single block is damaged, finding that one can take quite a bit of time.
Repair speed has been increased from A19 version, since I agree it was a tad bit slow, specially if you have many high hit-point blocks. Although the pace is still at a leisurely pace. I don't want this block to be overpowered. It should repair a fairly damaged base within 7 hours though and you can always build additional repair blocks. They might randomly interfere with each other but repair should still work (and be faster).
I've made some measurements and will gladly report my findings, although yours
may vary for whatever reason (calculations are tick and time delta based).
Internally the repair speed is currently set to 2000f (just a factor).
With that base factor you can expect around the following repair speeds:
- Each tick (sound you hear) it repairs around 65 hit-points
- This sums up to around 5000 hit-points in one in-game hour
- Or around 125K hit-points per in-game day or 875k in a week
- Or 75 fully damaged 10k blocks between horde-nights (6 days)
I reduced the storage size to have a bit more UI real-estate to add more info and maybe modifier-slots to further increase repair-speed etc. It would be nice to have a better indication what the box is actually doing. For now I only added some sounds and an outline, since that was pretty easy. Another thing would be to require power for the box to work. Ultimately an NPC doing something similar would be killer, but needs AI and path-finding.
Simply download here from GitHub and put into your A20 Mods folder:
- https://github.com/OCB7D2D/OcbClaimAutoRepair/archive/master.zip (master branch)
I've included a MSVC solution file and also a simple batch file to use my
A20BepInEx Utils, although BepInEx is NOT needed for this mod, it still
make compilation a piece of cake if all env-variables are properly configured.
The MSVC solution files require one environment variable PATH_7D2D_MANAGED
to be set. This is needed in order to find the correct game dlls for the
compilation. Note that the resulting dlls will be put under
build/bin/target/AutoClaimRepair.dll. You need to move them
over to the folder root in order for 7D2D to pick it up.
