Simplificaton Idea for Mining Airship.

Instead of using a separate Ground Helipad for each product mined. Just have it deposit just like trucks do. Into a sorter. Dumps all into a sorter and let it deal with the sorting. Might reduce the effort to code for the mining airship to deal with sorting using those ground helipads. Thanks for giving this a some thought. Note: i have no idea how difficult it would be to change code to allow the mining airship to dump into a sorter vs your ground helipads. Be well. be happy.

😆初期我也是如此设想!但是,事实是相当于mod重写率百分之八十.

那是对底层寻路逻辑等全面重构.

游戏中不存在一个能够挖掘又能运输的车辆,所以挖掘飞艇是一套全新的底层逻辑支撑,每一样东西必须匹配才能良好运作.

挖掘飞艇的设计初衷和地面停机坪的应用场景,是在大规模挖掘矿山时充分被利用,且此时不必出现一个挖掘机配备几个卡车的情况.

而,实际使用技巧是,把地面停机坪4个出口分别连接上我的压缩机mod😁

而压缩机mod可以用户自定义,可以1万或者几万几十万矿石被压缩成1个矿石单位,此时每个后方的总线或者机器建筑只要有一个破碎机就可以支撑全线生产所需.

😆 That was my initial thought too! In reality though, this would mean rewriting around 80% of the mod.

It requires a full‑scale overhaul of underlying path‑finding logic and more.

There is no vehicle in‑game that can both mine and transport resources, so the mining airship relies on an entirely new set of underlying logic. Every component has to align properly for it to function well.

The original design intent for the mining airship and the use case for ground helipads is for large‑scale ore mining operations. This setup removes the need for one excavator paired with multiple trucks.

A practical trick for actual gameplay is to connect the four outputs of the ground helipad to my compressor mod respectively😁.

The compressor mod supports user customization. It can compress 10 000, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ore into a single ore unit. Under this circumstance, only one crusher on each rear main bus or machinery building is enough to sustain the whole production chain.

Oh, no, not worth rewriting 80% of the mod. Thanks for the consideration.

😝感谢理解!😝Thanks for your understanding!
