i had a thought, couldn't somebody make a dropship that is basically a enormous bunker (or modules) thats gibs into the correct materials(not the kind you shoot one bullet into and they break up)?
i think it would be pretty cool to be able to add on largescale professional bunker pieces to a game while in progress and then rush your brainbot from a destroyed or under attack base into your totally new and amazing drop ship base. and the same for smaller turrets, just a really small dropship that can travel through tunnels and then gib into them for a slightly extra fee.

the problem, right there

data's "solution" to the problem of craft gib piling up was isscrap

isscrap makes any settled mo of any kind (no matter the material) settle into "scrap" if there's no terrain or bunker background behind it

i suspected that. dang. maybe something can fix that eventually.

But you know how to get around that, don't you Grif?
EDIT: Well it appears the examples in the Epic Moments Thread have 404'd. But anyway.

The problem is not the ability to turn IsScrap on, but to turn it off. So far, I know of no way to do it only through ini, which should be possible. As 411570N3 said, Grif can do it through Lua, but otherwise not, and I believe he can only do it pixel by pixel... Not sure about it though, I never followed up on the topic.

Actually I sorta lied. It's still scrapped terrain, just pixel by pixel I can construct it perfectly. And with a stronger material, it's (less) noticable.

But yeah, it's still scrapped. The non-scrap terrain in the forcefield module is because it's a bunkermodule, with the automatically placed background.

hm. well maybe in a newer build this can be rectified more easily. it would be nice to have a megamall dropped into the grasslands as a little extra entertainment.

Ideally Data will just make the IsScrap setting work, instead of having bull♥♥♥♥ solutions that modders can't change.
