This  mod is a expansion to the Automaton mod and uses my Drone Commander Mod.
It adds a new Feature "MiningRoutes". With this Feature you can record routes and save them. These routes the mod then can walk automatically.
When entering Mining Areas (Clay pit or Mountain) it will mine all minerals which should be mined (selected ressources in DroneCommander Mod) and then continue walking the route.
When it encounters a hostile mob it will shoot them.

How to install:
1. Place Automaton.mpk, AutomatonDroneCommanderExpansion.mpk and AutomatonMiningRoutesExpansion.mpk in the "Mods" folder located at %userprofile%\documents\AtomicTorchStudio\CryoFall
2. Edit "ModsConfig" located at %userprofile%\documents\AtomicTorchStudio\CryoFall which looks likes this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<mods>
  <mod>core_1.0.0</mod>
</mods>

by adding the following three lines:
  <mod>automaton</mod>
  <mod>automatonDroneCommanderExpansion</mod>
  <mod>automatonMiningRoutesExpansion</mod>

after the core, so it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<mods>
  <mod>core_1.0.0</mod>
  <mod>automaton</mod>
  <mod>automatonDroneCommanderExpansion</mod>
  <mod>automatonMiningRoutesExpansion</mod>
</mods>


How to use:

  • The Mod has two different Modes. The record mode, where the path you walk will be saved in the "Editing Route" defined in the Feature options. To enter this mode press the F10 button. Pressing it again will deactivate the mode and return to the normal mode. In this mode the mod will do it's work with the route defined in the Feature options as "Active Route".
  • To record a route i recommend enabling the feature and disabling automaton itself (default X Button ) and go to your start position and press F10. Then enable Automaton and start walking your route. As soon as you completed the route and returned to your start position press F10 again and the route is saved.
  • When recording and you enter a mining area which is not shaped like a circle i recommend walking one time arround the border to ensure that it can return from every point to the route.
  • You will need to have a weapon in quickbar slot 1 to shoot automatically creatures and a drone controller in hotbar slot 2 to harvest the ressources.
