The Ships computer can be accessed by clicking the 'Manage' button at the lower left of the screen then clicking the 'Computer' button (or keyboard command CTRL-C).

A text mode type console will appear with display at top and input at the bottom.

Computer commands involving probing planets can be viewed in the Probing Tutorial.

Typing '?' will get a list of commands.

NOTE: When typing commands into the computer, capitalization is important.


Show

Typing 'show ?'. will get help on the show command

Using the Show command

  • rs. relates to the Ram Scoop and takes pressure, temperature composition readings when landed

Typing 'show rs.pressure' will give you the atmospheric pressure in bar (1 bar = 1 earth atmospheric pressure)

Typing 'show rs.temperaturec' will give the current temperature in degrees Celsius

Typing 'show rs.temperaturek' will give the current temperature in degrees Kelvin

Typing 'show rs.composition' will give you the gas composition of the atmosphere

  • gg. related to the Gravity Generator

Typing Typing 'show gg.g' will give you the gravity in g (1g = 1 earth gravity)

  • pm. relates to power module

Typing 'show pm.reactorpower' gives the reactor output

Typing 'show pm.capacity' gives give maximum capacitor capacity

Typing 'show pm.energy' gives current capacitor energy level

  • mb. relates to the Mining Beam and is used to make core samples deep into the planet surface and to analyse the soil sample taken at EVA.

Typing 'show mb.samplemaps' will give a listing of planets with core sampling probes and their current status

Typing 'show mb.samplemapoverlay' shows the sample probes final results overlaid on the relevant planet

Typing 'show mb.samples' will list all the soil samples you have obtained

Typing 'show mb.analyse <sample name>' will analyse a soil sample and give a result. eg: show mb.analyse Jam1 Rocky Planet (3)

Typing 'show mb.coresample' will activate the mining beam to sample the planet deeper below the surface. your ship will need to be above the surface, close to the surface and facing the surface to take readings.

- The soil sample reading will be indicative of the whole planets surface. The core sample reading will be indicative of the one spot where the sample was taken.

Typing 'show mb.measure' will activate a laser beam on your ship and measure the distance of an object in front of you.


Alias

Typing 'alias ?' will give you help on the alias command

Alias is used to make shortcuts for the long commands in the above 'show' section

NOTE: If you make an alias title as a key word, commands with those key words will not work anymore as intended. An example would be "show", you can't use the show command anymore as it is aliased to something else. alias add show show mb.samples

What you could do is then make an alias which is "sh" instead of show so you can use "sh" instead of show.

Given that nested aliases don't work and maininstructions don't parse for aliases, this could be quite workable. It's probably a lot more intuitive to avoid using "show" or other command keywords for aliases however.


Add

Adding an alias takes the format of 'alias add name instruction'

eg 'alias add list show mb.samples' will alow you to just type list in future to show all your soil samples

Linking to ctrl 1 through ctrl 0

alias add ctrl#

  • example- alias add ctrl1 ch eject 999999 silicon - will make it so any time you press ctrl-1 ( both keys) you will eject all silicon up to 999999. Once the alias is set, you can close the Ship Computer (crtl -c) and still eject.

Numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 0.


List

typing 'alias list' will list the aliases you have programmed


Remove

Typing 'alias remove <name>' will remove the alias you programed with that name


Maininstruction

Typing 'maininstruction ?' will give you help on the maininstruction command

maininstruction lets you run other instructions continuously, displaying the results on you main interface.

There are 5 boxes on your main interface that can display data, labeled 0 - 4, just above your speed indicator.

NOTE:- You cannot have a multiline output as a maininstruction,

Maininstruction Tutorial

Waervyn's maininstruction Video


Add

To add a display module use the format 'maininstruction add display (0-4) suffix instruction'

0-4 being one of 5 locations

suffix being some text behind the output to tell you what it is about

instruction is one of the 'show' instructions from above

note:- need to use plain text, no special characters.. no : etc


Examples:

To display the current outside temperature in the first slot above the speed indicator: maininstruction add display 0 Celsius show rs.temperaturec

Show the planetoid gravity level: maininstruction add display 1 grav show gg.g


List

this will list the current running instructions with the number so you can remove the correct one when required

type 'maininstruction list'


Remove

removes one of the running instructions

eg after you listed the instructions, you want to remove the first instuction.. instruction 0, type 'maininstruction remove 0'


ch

ch relates to Cargo Hold

'ch eject <quantity> <item>' is used to eject stuff out of the cargo hold, such as unwanted minerals and passengers

Examples:

ch eject 100 silicon

This command is also used to deploy Core Sampling Probes to scan planet surfaces for minerals

ch eject 1 core sampling probe

dump

Soil samples can be dumped into a file on your hard drive.

dump soilsamples


When executed, it will tell you the path to find the file and a file prefix of soilsampledump-######, where ###### is a big number.

File dump location could be in:

C:\Users\Owner\AppData\LocalLow\Fluffy Kitten Studios\Ascent_ The Space Game\


clear

Used to clear soil samples. You may want to use the dump command first.

close

Typing 'close' will close the computer console.


nobounty

When a player takes a soil sample, the user has the option to automatically share their discovery with players through a bounty system. If your soil sample matches the parameters of a bounty, then you are paid the bounty with credits and your soil sample discovery information is shared with the bounty payer. Default is 'nobounty off', which means every soil sample you gather will be checked with the bounty database. To turn off the soil sample sharing, type in 'nobounty on'.

Examples:

nobounty on

nobounty off
