(1) Create an option for an LCD to link to a specific block similar to how we link to functions of blocks with button panels, and display the info to the LCD that we can read on these blocks in the control panel.
For instance, with a button panel I can increase or decrease a pistons Velocity to extend it among other things. Viewing the piston in control panel allows me to see how far its extended in meters. I would like to be able to display on an LCD the length in meters a piston is extended, or the degree a rotor is rotated, or any of these values we can read from our blocks in the control panel.
Like I build an LCD. I open its control panel and target or select a piston block. Similar to when I do this with a button panel to change its properties with a button, I would after selecting it choose from some of the values in it I can display to the monitor, like piston length, piston velocity, etc. Then this would display on the monitor. Perhaps each monitor could display a single chosen value. So if I want to view piston length and piston velocity I would have to build 2 monitors and link each to the piston in question and then select the corresponding Info's to display on each separately. If its decided to allow us to display multiple values on one monitor I would hopevwe could reserve the ability to only have one info value per monitor because I like my big words and numbers :).
(2) Furthermore, it would be nifty if using the programming block or however the above was implemented I could add like values together from other blocks. For instance, instead of displaying on the LCD:
Print lengthextended piston1
What if we could display:
Print lengthextended piston1 + piston2 + piston3
In the event that this is a three piston long piston drill then displaying this added together value would tell us the full drill depth regardless of which pistons are extended or not. And as this is a "custom" value that is an amalgum of other like values having the ability to edit the text label displayed above the value would allow me to name it "Total Drill Depth" or maybe there should be a way to rename the text displayed on the LCD for any of the values being displayed in this fashion so we can personalize the way we interpret the information. For instance the default for piston length would say "PistonA Length: X" whereas this may be a part of aground clearance suspension system for a large ground vehicle and I might edit the value to read instead "Ride Height: X". So custom labels after a default generic label would be great too!
The Dream \ Inspiration:
Could you image a massive stationary piston drilling platform with various button panels for extending and retracting pistons, rotating the rotors, toggling the drills, increasing and decreasing the rpm of the rotating drill bank as well as the rate at which we are slowly extending the pistons and plunging them into the planet? As we toggle these various buttons having the values they alter displayed on a wall of panels would be AMAZING.
We'd have total drill depth (or if too complicated for devs to implement wed have have a depth monitor for each piston segment), alongside a monitor displaying the velocity of the pistons down to the hundreths decimal place to know how hard were pushing our rig, and of course a monitor that reflects that the drills are online or offline, and another displaying the revolutions per minute of our rotator which spins the drill bank arm. God it would be an INCREDIBLE experience to man the helm of my mining rigs in this fashion as these are all values I monitor at my dig site and it would be so much more fluid of an experience to get my head out of the control panels and back in the presence of my large mining beast.
There has been a great deal of interest from the community for this over the years, from people wanting to display their power levels or reactor outputs or building power inputs and so much more. A modder in the community wrote a script package called "AutomaticLCDs2" that allows much of this for PC users but seeing how you guys pulled off the way button panels work I think this is really something you guys could throw together and make officially supported by the game with great ease and a better polish considering you'd build off your already implemented GUI that the modder couldn't. Thank you so much for reading this and for your time and for building the most amazing space simulation sandbox dream factory ever!!
I like this feedback
Any LCD has "scripts" option, where you can choose the specific script. There is no option to display what it in the cargo though.
What do you mean by scripts are not working?
Thank you for your feedback!

I see the scripts made like show time,power etc but what about the custum data you can add is that not available at the momemt? Il put link in here as to what i mean as i wanted to do custom coding

Unfortunatelly, those are not available atm on Xbox.
We will see the demand and what scripts will players demand, and we may add them later.

Hi Mark,
Are there any specific scripts you would like to see in the game?
As it is forbidden to have a scripting support on the Xbox console by Microsoft. The only option is to bundle some of the scripts directly into the game.

I’d like to see (at the very least) Solar Tracking and Inventory/Cargo readout for LCDs. Those two scripts are absolutely quality of life on PC and would benefit the core game on console.

I'd like to see scripts such as Solar Tracking, Drone Mining, Drone Patrol with follow functions, autonomous deep core mining, and a few others. Is there a way we can request scripts to be brought in at a later date?

There are a few scripts I really really want but honestly there is only 2 that I feel are super important.
1.CCTV with cameras and LCDs
2.configurable automatic LCD display for cargo and ship damage
Others to be considered would be-
3 auto airlock/hanger/doors (I know you can do that with sensors it’s just not nearly as good as the script)
4 floor plan script
5.span’s AI mining drone script
6.spug’s easy automated docking

I really want a cargo management script, LCD display power/cargo/etc script, light changing script, floorplan/damage script and an elevator script. I would really love a script which controls rotors to a cosmetically spinning reactor, buuut... Not that necessary...

Hi E,
It is not possible to have scripting on Xbox per se, but we can add some popular scripts to the vanilla game.
Keep voting.

We are investigating two possibilities of having scripts in Xbox version:
- using the dedicated servers (coming to Xbox in future months)
- incorporating popular scripts in vanilla
We will keep you posted on the progress.

Really hoping we can get some form of scripting into the game,
Plus it would cut down on PCU when trying to build things with timers.
Thanks Keen loving the game so far otherwise

Cool. To be more specific, I'd like to be able to do the Lost Colony and Frostbite scenarios. I don't know what ingame scripting is needed to enable those, but I'd love to experience that content.

Great game. Keep up the good work. I’d like to see drill and fill, build and repair in the game. That would be awesome.

This script will help with some interesting creative ideas..
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1445055239
But, I also can just see this as something you can just add to the base game, as it would be nice to control wheels, thrusters, etc, on subgrid without override.

One script I would like to see is some sort of area/space mapping. Or a radar system. Would help plan battles, coordinate attacks, and general exploration. Having it transferable to the holographic block as well would be awesome too. XD Having the Ore Detector hooked up to the radar map allowing us to see where the ore is on a 3d map thanks to the holographic table from the Decoration DLC.

Inventory Management- Isy's Inventory Manager is a brilliant example.

Solar Panel Sun Tracking.- Again, Isy's is probably the best.

Also, not a script but airlock doors would really help and stop having to make a full airlock...these are the ones im talking about:

Nah people we need more weapons. With current ship weaponry it makes builds extremely limited. Add large caliber ship cannons. Lasers. Plasma batteries or something.

I now must ask Keen Software three questions,
First: what scripts did you guys pick?
Second: or are you going to keep that a surprise?
Third: Are they going to be available in the script block?
I don't want that to be decoration. I love the idea that it's needed for more advance scripts. Like for example, having scripts like the inventory manager be unlocked after you install the script block.

After playing around with mods and scripts on pc I found a few that I would like. Some are already mentioned. All of these are listed under Scripts on the Steam Workshop.
Isy's Inventory Manager
Isy's Solar Alignment
Build Vision
Buildinfo
Camera Panning
Sub Grid Control
In Game Time
+ Anything that adds more hostile encounters eg Rival AI, Assertive Ships/Bunkers, Corrupt, Reavers etc

KSH, question, is the limitation with scripting by MS only for direct inputbof scripts into a programming block? What i mean is, is Microsoft just simply not allowing a user from typing in a script in the programmable block? Or is it an outright ban on scripts...
What i was thinking is perhaps could we use a conduit such as Mod.io as a conduit to import read-only scripts into a Pblock?
Granted community scripters or users that want to tweak existing scripts out there would have to republish scripts on their own accounts (like if i took izzy's inventory manager script and i modified code, i would publish izzys script on my mod io with a unique name so i can find it) - then i would just basically import that script that i modified into a block, similar to blueprints and run (no recompile option)
Granted i know it will make mod.io a bit more messy but it does solve the not writing scripts through xb issue

Presuming you are on a dedicated server, you access scripts just like you do on PC. Except here you subsribe to them via Mod.io instead of Steam. If you need more information on how to you scripts at all, I ecourage you to watch one or more of the dozens of YouTube videos on the subject.

You can use scripts on the single player beta xbox which means it wont be long until its on the actual game. The problem is if the modders dont make it xbox friendly it can crash your game so they need to code it differently. Here is a link which explains it better.
