My craft also auto-skuttle if they're -touched- and not at perfect health.

This hinders my plans for leaving crates buried in shallow dirt as land-mines.

That is a seriously good point.


Also, I think Data should make it so you can scuttle while still moving (if you're digging through the terrain for instance) and get rid of auto-scuttle completely.

You boys were lucky that you weren't around for build 18, if auto-scuttling is what really gets your panties in a bunch. There wasn't even scuttling, much less craft explosion/loss. They just fell to the ground. After five minutes of playtime the regular map was turned into a hilly wasteland of drop ships and rockets (assuming you used them, the AI didn't.) Rockets could tunnel forever, or if you shot them enough, they would go flying and destroy everything in their way.

Not in build 18.

Build 13, you had invincible rockets, but there were no builds were there were problems with non-settling rockets AND debris piling up. They're pretty much mutually exclusive; one is caused by the solution to the other.

Yeah, one needs to be implemented, and improved by fixing the problem it causes otherwise. Which is basically what IsScrap tried to do, but doesn't quite. If that system is staying, I think it could really use some change. Like maybe instead of being a boolean for materials it could be an integer of how many pixels upward are displaced.

Personally I'd like it if some crafts would settle as terrain under certain definable circumstances, including a toggle-able-by-modding manual option to do it, but I'm not sure how well that could be implemented into regular CC modding. And the circumstances under which rockets autoscuttle really needs work. But that's getting precisely back on topic and just saying what everyone else already has, which I like to avoid.

Yeah I remember that, I've been here at least as long as you.

And scuttling isn't neccessary, gibs are.

I actually enjoyed this a lot, would love watching rockets go berserk and start tunneling through the map, or use them to block entrances, create bridges, etc, and have the terrain get piled up, at least it didn't do like it does now where I keep running out of terrain.
