Encode snapshot information onto a memory card? #36

Open pantheis opened 12 years ago

pantheis commented 12 years ago

We should look into the ability to encode the snapshot information from an Inventory stocker, and the configured mode, onto a memory card item that can be used to copy that configuration state into other inventory stockers. In this way, we could setup a snapshot for say the nuclear reactor we use, then copy it quickly into additional inventory stockers.

Having setup those additional 32 nuclear reactors, I completely agree!

Have the scan/clear button open up another GUI window where instead of input/output areas, it shows a card slot, buttons to scan and clear the configuration, and to store or load it from the card, and display a 5x5 grid of the detected attached IInventory object. We can't recreate the actual layout of the attached inventory, but we could display a 5x5 grid setup as a "fake item" style inventory display, and have the player be able to mark a specific index into that IInventory Object as "ignored". Ignored indexes would be skipped over for all routines. This would allow a player to ignore a specific spot(s) of the target attached inventory and could be useful.

All of the settings of the inventory stocker, snapshot, mode, which slots to pay attention to, etc, would be saved to the data card and that data card could be loaded into another inventory stocker which could then be told to copy those settings, making for an easy way to setup multiple inventory stockers with the same settings, such as usually the case when you setup multiple of the same machines.
