Robots in disguise..
« on: April 17, 2009, 11:10:14 AM »
We have liftoff!!

...... well compression at least.


Had a play with it just now and lost a little time trying to figure out how to do it.  Essentially it's the same as manufacturing but when selecting the assembly lines to use - you need to select "Personal" rather than public or Corporate.
The hard part is knowing how many runs to do based on the amount of ore you have without resorting too much to typing in the numbers and using show info to have the Ore/Run details.

The process appears to be:
1) Have Heavy water in your cargohold and enter Compression mode by turning on the Industrial Core (0 skills and the core uses 1k Heavy Water/cycle)
2) Have the Compression BP and Ore in your cargo
3) Right click and select Manufacturing on the BP
4) Select the choose installation button, change the drop down to "Personal" from Public/Corp (you'll now see the 4 compression lines)
5) Select a line & hit ok
6) Set the amount of runs you want and hit Ok
7) Hit Accept to start the job

It's pretty quick - about a min per run.  When the jobs done - deliver as you would a manufacturing job.
The only possible locations for the source and destination is the cargo (rather than the corp hanger).

And yes - she does transform.

can the BPOs be researched and is their any benefits in doing so?
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

I don't think research does anything

I'll so be watching next time you compress! I want to see this!
