Awesome, thanks to all

Big thanks to all those working on this glorious project!

There is a bug on the mission direction though. After we made the change, the missions are correlated to the direction your character is facing. So to bypass this bug, have your character face north and all missions will come in the correct direction.

Do we know whats going on with the harvest droids? I'm having issues getting it to work since the patch. It pulls from one mob but then after that it spams 'You lost sight of your target' and then no longer works, unless I pull it back out.

We are aware of the bug with harvester droids. We are working on it and hopefully we have a solution soon.

Could it not be rolled back to how it was previously for harvester droids? At least that way they would still work in some capacity, as it is currently they do not work at all.

Or am I missing something that would prevent this from being possible?

What does leashing mean in this context? Wonderful patch today, thanks.

No, I formatted the older droid harvesting code and tried to prevent it from accessing its harvest list repeatedly. I have already finished implementing droid harvesting in the new AI. Once its merged we will get it to Finalizer in an update soon. See: https://review.swgemu.com/c/Core3/+/8524

Leashing is when a mob is drawn too far away from its home spawn location and it returns to it. In this case our AI will become unattackable and return to their home location if their target or themselves becomes 256m from their spawn point. They should run back to that spot.

I was wondering lol, I thought maybe I was clicking on the wrong direction!

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thank you for the update and look forward to the spoils of all you and the rest of the teams hard work =)

I can think of one silent nerf to faction pets not listed here.

Hello
Could you add another list to the mission terminals, sorted by mobs / NPCs / species ?
( it takes quite a while to select a mission if we are only hunting for one species )
