AI Recorder, AI Movement - capture and replicate rotation of the ship
What
I wish AI recorder would capture both position and rotation of the ship.
Why
Recording of precise movement and rotation is vital for automatization. Space engineers is game about engineering, where some degree of automatization is expected. But since recording and remote control doesn't work precisely, they are often unused and mostly source of headaches instead of satisfaction from well done project.
I feel like the biggest problem of all navigation blocks (AI blocks and remote control) is they are trying to improvise. They improvise its rotation, collision detection, movement within gravity etc. And this is fine. But none of the blocks can be used to be actually precise and doing exactly what you want them to do.
How is that we have a script for programmable block that can do precise mining in space. And it exists for years. But we dont have the same functionality with AI blocks?
I think precise capturing and rotation capturing would be good start of something, maybe not mining, but at least 3d printers and stuff.
I like this feedback
If you use a flight control block with no collision avoidance, with precise mode and with no gravity align, the recorder will follow your waypoints exactly, including any rotation. You can switch different flight control blocks' AI behaviour on at the waypoints as actions, and doing this will turn the AI behaviour of all the others off. This effectively lets you use a flight control block as a config preset, so you can engage very precise playback at any point. If you need more precision, get the recorder to record waypoints more frequently, at shorter distances - or record the waypoints yourself in stop motion.
