VouMorrer Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hello! I have built a simple co2 rocket only for launching rovers in the home planet, because haha robot empire it reliefs a lot of duplicant labour, but right now i have to do all the launches manually. I am aware that there is a automation port in the launchpad to begin launch sequence, but it is worth nothing because i still have to both reset the destination and deploy the rover manually every time any tips to reduce the micromanaging of the process?

DolphinWing Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 There is a round-trip button next to your destination platform dropdown menu. But I don't know if the rover will be dropped when you reach the orbit. Rocket platform automation seems to be buggy so I don't try them for a long time.

Yes, and it also works when landing on another asteroid. I managed to land on far away asteroids, refuel and fly back. But I've done them manually. Never though about dropping rovers on main asteroid so no good advises here. Sorry mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babba Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 In terms of rovers - I would find it great if we could permanently run robots in our colonies. Robots fitted with rechargeable batteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robots fitted with rechargeable batteries indeed, it doesnt sound very intuitive to use a rocket to launch rover in you own planet. haha i've seen that there is a mod that recharges roves using liquid combustible, but i believe the rocket's co2 expense to be cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robots fitted with rechargeable batteries There is a mod that allows you to refuel rovers with petroleum at a recharging station. Rovers can't build anything beyond basic tech though nor operate things, so you're sadly stuck with biological robot minions as gravitas intended.
