Change Log
v1.2.2
- Fixed bug when loading the game with the mod for the first time. (Bug added in v1.2.0 with the config reload functionality.)
- Replaced deprecated function call.
- Manifest description updated.
v1.2.1
- Fixed a bug where tasks were being assigned when drones weren't available. This was causing configured energy constraints to be violated. This issue was emphasized when fewer drones were available.
- Small revision to the appearance of the enable/disable HUD image.
v1.2.0
- Added a button to the game HUD to enable and disable drone clearing.
- Added a config setting to explicitly enable or disable the mod.
- Reload configuration settings on each game start.
- Reduced debug log messages.
v1.1.1
- Fixed compatibility with Windows10CE's DSP Cheats's Instant-Build feature to make instant clearing.
v1.1.0
- Fixed bug with drones getting locked up when Icarus completes their task first.
- Clearing tasks no longer save. This is a compromise to avoid issues when disabling/removing the mod.
- Fixed bug when performing Quit Game that wasn't removing drone clearing tasks.
- Improvement in drone usage calculation. This provides a cleaner cut-off when clearing is shutoff due to drone count usage or energy availability.
- Disable clearing when mecha energy level is too low (configurable).
- Optimized mechanic for holding drone still while working.
v1.0.0
