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.
Contents |
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
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,
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 curent 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
eg 'ch eject 100 silicon'
This command is also used to deploy Core Sampling Probes to scan planet surfaces for minerals
eg 'ch eject 1 core sampling probe'
clear
Used to clear the core sample maps
Close
Typing 'close' will close the computer consol.
