I don't know if this is an issue or not, but it seems to me that this would mean it's better to reclaim the mass storage instead of using the wreck to rebuild it.

This would need to disable adjacency then, otherwise who would ever turn the storage on at remote mexes?

I guess there'd still be one in the case of ENERGY storage if we make energy stealable, since it's not usually found in wrecks

Mass stored should also reduce when mass storages blow up

please exclude stuff like SCU and sparky from that, otherwise nice idea

There will be no bonus anymore.

But it also increases the mass available on the map, because stored mass is no longer "volatile"

I imagined a mass storage assigned an amount of mass proportional to its fraction of the total storage

However most of the time (ie: not noob games) this number remains firmly at 0 (except in the rare and fleeting moment where something is reclaimed and the guy does not have enough build power)

Created a patch which implements this, if you lose a building with storage capacity you will lose the actual content within it. Also transferred to a player if given / captured.

Not the current mechanics but would be possible to implement, yes

Mass stored should also reduce when mass storages blow up then, even if you have space for it. And put some of that mass value into the dead mass storage, why not.

is mass stealable?

2015-04-26T22:18:44+02:00

Is it possible to steal "stored" mass by capturing a mass storage building? Is "stored" mass recoverable from the wreckage of mass storage buildings?
If not, can this be modded or scripted?
