[Feature Request] "I like turtles!" - Roving Computer Support Update™ #9

Open SamHammie opened 3 months ago

SamHammie commented 3 months ago

Turtles couldn't switch between ships and the world with ease under normal circumstances.

Here, I suggest adding the Turtle Docking Bay.

This would be a 3x3x3 hollow multiblock structure, which is open on the top, the bottom, and on one side. Facing the docking bay outwards and maneuvering your ship and/or the turtle to be close to the center of the bay will allow you to latch the turtle onto the placement grid of your ship, in the center of the docking bay. You could then execute commands to make it maneuver out of the docking bay and perform tasks on your ship.

You would simply power a bay when a turtle is near the center of it to make it latch onto your ship, and power it again with the turtle back in place to detach a turtle from your ship and allow it to lock back into the world. The exact positioning wouldn't matter much so long as the turtle collides with the coordinates in the middle of the bay and that no additional turtles meet the same conditions for the same bay.

(Note: I have yet to test the mod, and cannot confirm if this process is already automated as of yet, so this suggestion is made under the assumption that this is not currently implemented and/or possible in the addon.)
