Unread post Is there any script out there that does this?
I want to strip all the fighters off of every single planet in my bubble and dump them onto a specific planet that's set up at the gate of my bubble. I'd have to do this manually otherwise, by going to every single planet, taking all the fighters off of each planet one by one and making several trips back to the planet that I want to dump them on when the ship gets full on fighters. Was wondering if there's a script that does the entire process automatically for me.

So say there's 5 million fighters spread out across 150 planets in my bubble, and the planet at my gate has a 10 million fighter capacity, I want to grab all 5 million from every other planet and dump it onto the 10m capacity planet at the gate. Any script out there that automates that?

I think mombot has a command that does this.. FARMFIGS

There is a post on the first page of this forum with all of mombot commands.

Even if you play solo, getting mombot is a must for functions like this.

Thanks, yeah that's the right command though i'm not sure if i'm using it in the proper context. I run it from the citidel menu using:

arm farm farmfigs

default should farm all fighters on the tl list (since I don't want to manually enter like 70 sectors to the list), but it's not farming the figs it's farming the fuel ore which isn't want I want.

What it looks like it's doing when I run the above command, is it looks like it's trying to strip ALL product off of all the planets and move them onto the planet I started the script on. But I don't want to move ALL products, I just want to move the fighters only.

Your triggering the "farm" command, try just "farmfigs":

arm farmfigs

I've not been playing for a while so not in any active games to test.

Unfortunately that's returning the following error no matter where I try to run it:

{arm} - farmfigs is not a valid command.

Also tried:

arm farm figs

and that did the same thing as arm farm farmfigs

I see what you're saying about the "arm farm" part seeming to activate the farming command, but I don't know why it won't let me do "arm farmfigs"

Hmm, perhaps it does't come with default download now

Try the attachments

put farmfigs.cts in
SCRIPTSDIRECTORY\Mombot\Modes\Resource

and farmfigs.txt in
SCRIPTSDIRECTORY\Mombot\Help

Not sure I've ever used it, please let me know if it works :)

And the help file..

Hmm Text help file isn't attaching..

Script might just auto write this file anyway.. else just put the following in a file called "farmfigs.txt" in the directory as instructed above.

Code:
- farmfigs {set} {clear} {list}                                 
    Visits sectors in list and farms figs from the planets there.     
       - default will visit all planets on the tl list       
       - if planet full of figs, drops figs to starting sector
                                                           
    [set] {sector1} {sector2} {...} {sectorx}               
       - set puts sectors in the order you enter into a file
    [clear]                                                 
       - clear deletes the farm file                       
    [list]                                                 
       - show lists of all sectors in the farm file in order

Yeah I didn't have that file in my mombot\modes\resource folder. I ran it and it seemed to work for snagging only the fighters and no product, but it only ran on the very top sector of the tl list so I dunno why it's doing THAT now. I tried setting a list of sectors and it only went to the first one on the list, grabbed all the figs in that sector, then returned to the starting sector and said it was done. Really odd behavior out of this thing. The target planet is not full on fighters either, I made sure of that as well. Target planet has plenty of fuel to jump around, ship i'm in has plenty of fighter capacity and a planetary scanner, all the right boxes are checked for it to run properly, it just doesn't seem to want to.

There is a fair chance the script is only compat with v1 and not v2.

They planet list did change, they added planet numbers from memory.

Not even sure where the source code for that one is, I'll see if I can find it and take a look one day.

Z-Bot's Planet Driver will do this and more... on both versions of TW.

I'll take a look at that then, thanks.

Edit: got it up and running and it works perfectly. Does exactly what I was looking for in my first post of this thead.

Try using a macro, instead? I use macros for moving product all the time. FAST!!!!!!!!!

I assume it would be just as fast for figs. Especially if you use transwarp.

I could, but it'd take forever to set up the first time and the macro would be massive. There's over 150 planets that I have to visit every time I do a fighter sweep. Z-Bot worked perfectly for what I needed.

Is there any way to use zbot to twarp around the universe and do planet negotiation on all my planets? I don't see the option under planet driver (not that it would make much sense anyway to warp one planet into a sector with other planets just to negotiate those other planets in that sector).

Now at over 300 planets all of which need to be negotiated, and tbh at this point it's getting to be a huge chore, I would love to be able to just tell my bot to do all of that.
