Would like a multi-controller for the robotic parts

[linuxgurugamer]

Not sure what it would be called.  But, as far as I can see, each KAL-1000, while it can control multiple parts, treats all of them as one consolidated part and moves all of them at the same time.

I'm looking for something which would be multiple KAL-1000s, so a KAL-2000 would be equivalent to two KAL-1000s, KAL-3000 to three, etc.

I thought it had been done, but haven't been able to find it.

and I'm too busy right now to do it myself.

For a quick test, I added a second ModuleRoboticController to the KAL-1000, but that didn't work, everything just went onto the first one

Any takers?

You can edit the "timeline" of the controller by adding another point and set it to "zero" (read: whatever value the initial/starting point has) and just drag it to the time where you want that specific part to be manipulated.

If by "moves all of them at the same time" you mean "not independent from each other" then... yeah, needs multiple controllers or a mod.

Yup, that's what I mean

@linuxgurugamer You're probably already aware of this one, but if not...

The Servo Controller is specifically designed to run robotic parts from a central location. It isn't idea but it works. It doesn't do inverse kinematics. What you can do is take "snapshots" of the parts in various rotations and positions, and then play those snapshots.

I was, will be trying it out. I was trying to reduce part count, not sure if it will help.

The mods are all separate, so you can download the plugin separately from the parts. The plugin will patch the stock robotics so that the KAL-1000 will also use the plugin. It relies on the KAL-1000 to at least have the list of robotics under its control.
