I would really like to see some base robots for building and maintenance. Mars soil will be an essential resource on a Mars base, especially as building block and radiation shield. Robots would probably already be present on Mars when humans arrive; enabling them to do hard labor work outside without exposing themselves to the harsh Mars environment outside the habitat modules. The robots are limited by tools, movement, power capacity and signal coverage. They also need maintenance and cleaning to prevent excessive wear. Remote operation could be accessible through the Holographic command station or similar equipment. Also it would be safe to assume all manned vehicles have at least basic remote operation possibilities.

Hi, I just got introduced to this great game. As I'm a professional developer myself I of course wanted to mod this game to my liking. Mainly I want to extend the existing entities with new commands. I've search the forum and wiki pages, but could not find a good guide on how to create mod's. Specifically I need to know how to get the mods to load in the game. The programming is of course my task and I'm quite competent at that. What I need help to do is: - I don't know how to unpack the example mod. I got the game data unpacked from the workbench, but cannot find a way to unpack any of the other .pak-files. - I do not know how to extend existing entities. (might be the example mod answers that, but I can't get it unpacked :)) - I do not know how to repack (if needed) the mod and make it loadable from the game. I feel that this information should be the absolute minimum requirement for this sub-forum as this is probably the first place all new modders go to get that info. Thank you for a great game, and thank you for keeping it moddable!
