ZTransport

Works with Spaced Out!

ZTransport allows multiple Oxygen Not Included colonies to exchange energy, gases, items, and liquids, as though they were different Z-slices of the same asteroid. This adds some interesting teamwork opportunities to the game.


One of the players must run a server in order for the mod to be useful. The server is not included. The server is found here[github.com]

• Transport gases, liquids, items, and energy between colonies running at the same time on different computers
  
• All elements can be transmitted
  
• Temperature, mass, and even germs are preserved

Let us use a simple example. Alice has long ago created a sustainable oxygen system, and has much more oxygen production than she needs. Bob, however, has been having trouble with his algae supply; in fact, it has just run out, bringing his oxygen generation to a screeching halt. His Duplicants only have a few cycles to live. What can he do!?

Well, he can take some of Alice's oxygen, of course.

First, Alice and Bob must both be connected to the same server. Say Alice is the one running onizd[github.com] and her IP address is "192.0.2.55". Both Alice and Bob can click on their Printing Pod (or any Z building), click on the "ZTransport" button, type "192.0.2.55" in the Server Address field, and click "Confirm". They will now be connected to the same server. The setting will persist with the world, so they only need to do this step once per world. (If Alice and Bob are on different networks, figuring out what IP address to use will be a fun task, way beyond the scope of this readme... but it may help them to know that the default port is 5496, and the protocol uses TCP, not UDP.)

Now, Alice must build a Z Gas Sender, and Bob must build a Z Gas Receiver, both at the same coordinates. This Sender will send gas to the Receiver, acting something like a Gas Bridge with one end in Alice's asteroid and the other in Bob's. (Once a Z building has been constructed, it will show its coordinates when either selected or moused over; positive X goes to the right, and positive Y goes up. It's clumsy, but this lets you figure out where you are relative to one another, and with patience and precision, get everything linked up.)

Once these buildings are constructed, Alice must run a Gas Pipe from her oxygen generation system to the Z Gas Sender, and Bob must run Gas Pipe from his Z Gas Receiver to a Gas Vent somewhere in his base. Once this is completed, oxygen should begin flowing from one colony to another. Bob is saved! Hooray! (Until Alice's water runs out from all the extra load on her SPOM...)


These features are not yet present, but are planned to be added some day:

- Z Power Sender working more like a Transformer than a Battery (and multiple versions of it at different power ratings
- Optional game speed syncing, for players who would rather annoy each other than slightly cheat time in a game whose plot revolves around a giant apocalyptic time anomaly...


If (when) you encounter any bugs, report the issue on github[github.com], along with the Player.log file which is located in ONI's configuration directory.

This mod was produced as part of an apprenticeship. The bulk of the client's code was written by BloodyRum, under the oppressive and pedantic gaze of Solra Bizna (who also wrote most of this description).
