Modding Help MESSAGE TO ALL MODDERS: mod proposal, mine bots

Ok so heres the rundown, we'll need the following:

-NPC pathing
-Upgrades bench (or whatever)
-Spirtes/Animations (I would recommend using GIMP for visual editing on sprites)
-Crafting recipes
Probably other stuff too, but thats what i got for now

 

ok so i was thinking the crafting table would be a wall computer like the creature capture pod computer, and are we ok with insectlike robots?
i know how to do recepies, ill figure the other stuff out too

 

I probably got pathing, cause I'm the only Lua savvy person here... And I'll work on many of the sprites.

Edit: the sprite for that first drone, that @haynesy566 posted a pic of, is almost done, I'll put it up soon.

 

im bad at drawing but ill do my best to convey my idea for the bench brb

 

I can do the bench sprite right now, if its simple enough.... Would you guys like to start a conversation on this instead of on this thread? Its much more private and convenient

 

sketch bench idea

 

With comparison to a character.

 

Awesome! so maybe this could be a tier 6 mining drone?

 

thats really cool

 

No clue. Just wanted to sprite something... Well, now we have a backup! ^.^

 

Not finished completely but hows this?

 

really cool!

 

The green bit is fuel, the garage is underneath and needs a bit of work, then the ore storage to the side.

Edit:
Its roughly the same size as the yarnspinner

 

Spider drone example:

 

so cool

 

I think I'm starting to remember why I stopped writing Lua before I found Starbound...


I used to hand write all my code...

 

For a second there it looked like 50 shades of grey.... mindblown[DOUBLEPOST=1433479820][/DOUBLEPOST]Here is the base concept I have of the garage, just a shell at the moment its a screenshot, dont worry

 

*keeps lurking in the thread*
Interesting so far, hope you keep it up.
