Stray Nugget Collector

Update - New Mod

I've released a new mod, Small Item Collector.  It is based on the Stray Nugget Collector, but introduces new features.  It has three targeting modes, including one that picks up any tier-1 item type of your choice.  It also has three proximity rules.  You can now prioritize collecting the closest items or only pick up nearby items (within 150 meters).

Description

This mod creates a variant of the Medium Storage Silo that can be activated—via the default interaction key/button—to collect stray/unattached resource nuggets automatically.  There is no distance limit imposed; if the resource nugget is loaded into the game world, it can be collected.  The Stray Nugget Collector can be found in the Research Catalog in the bottom row of the Small Printer category.  It costs 3,000 bytes to unlock and 2 Titanium to craft, which is the same as the base Medium Storage Silo.

Version 0. 1. 1 added automation support to the Stray Nugget Collector, allowing signals from repeaters and other 'actuator' devices to trigger its activation.  To minimize computation-induced lag, activating the Stray Nugget Collector initiates (or resets) a 30-second lockout period during which automation cannot re-trigger the collector.  Players are not affected by this lockout period and can manually activate the collector as often as they wish.

Important Notice

I am no longer involved with Astroneer modding.  It is unlikely that I will update any of my mods or be available to support them in any way.

This mod currently does not work on Aeoluz, the Glitchwalkers planet.  I do not have the Glitchwalkers DLC, so I'm unable to properly test a fix for this.

Installation

This mod requires the third-party mod loader AstroModLoader Classic to function.  Extract the PAK file from the ZIP file and drag it into the mod loader window.  I will not provide help or support for mod installation or using mod loaders.

Notes

• []This mod adds a new item to the game.  There's a possibility of a research catalog order conflict with items from other mods that could cause this item to not show in the control panel interface of printers.  You can use CorporalWill's Print Menu Fixer mod to fix such conflicts.

  []This mod does not supersede any game assets directly.  All edits are made dynamically via the mod loader integrator to avoid conflicts and update issues.

• Version 0. 1. 3 tested on Astroneer version 1. 36. 43. 0.
