Skars and Lia arrived at new planet in search for new advanced technologies, however planet was guarded with powerful shield that made them disconnect most of their schematics from Command Node. Will they be able to win, if orbital works are still working? Thanks to Regallion, who optimized my scripts so they would take less space than before. thanks to Grabz for (again) slightly helping me with code. and thanks to you player because you want to play y map again! :D KUUN-LAN

I don't see any way to order any parts from orbit, I gave up when I had 50 parts in orbit.
The problem is probably that my keyboard isn't US and does not have a numpad.

Didn't work for me either. The map looked interesting though...

And maybe those towers should be invulnerable to creeper, so that they don't need walls around them and there won't be any walls left behind to block their line of sight?

Hi! Did you try second keys? for example `[`for cannon? You also need to click middle mouse button where you want to send them.

Kind regards

This map looks really interesting and like it could be a lot of fun to play, but I need some help.
What is a "middle mouse" button, and why is there a need for "second keys"?
You are restricting your number of players with this kind of programming.

The second keys don't work (at least I see nothing happen) and a middle mouse button? My Laptop has two...

I got it to work, 1. Make sure that NumLock is on/you can type numbers with numpad.
2. Check if your mouse has wheel on middle and if it can be clicked.
3. Hold correct number on numpad and middle click with your mouse while holding number down.

Sadly I cannot help if either of these is missing. :(

My Dell XPS 15 has neither a mouse nor a numpad (or an emulation of it)... So no map for me!

I'm really sorry for all problems that have occured on this map. In my next map I will try to solve those problems (hopefully not making any more of them). I'm pretty sure I would make less mistakes if more people could playtest (or beta-test) them! :D

@KUUN-LAN,
There used to be a developer kind of forum here where members did just that - test play proposed maps and give some feedback. One of the current Mods can probably give you the link.
If there is a way to do that, I would gladly volunteer to give it a go. Us retired guys have lots of time on our hands.

Still there, still in the same place, just about 2 places down from where we're having this discussion:  (I even made the included screenshot clickable so you can go there.... ;) )

However, KUUN-LAN spends most of his "here" time on the Discord (https://discord.gg/rRbEz9K), where there are also multiple places for map makers to converse with and get help from other mapmakers or players.
