Recycling Technology Update 1 Options

[The_Hunter]

do the overlord with a nuclear engine remplace the T2 crate with a nuke one? or drops both? or is a chance between them?

Both

also i assume tier 1/2 crates work like vainilla crates for the other GLA vehicles?

Yes

Will the truck be able to pick up and use salvage like any other GLA vehicle after it's been upgraded with a weapon?

Nope.

The Recycler Truck has a wonderful design and its variants are pretty cool, something unique that really elevates the ROTR to a new level that hardly any other mod for ZH had managed to achieve some day. Great job!

How long did it take to implement this new mechanic in the game?

at least 6 weeks worth of free time

at least 6 weeks worth of free time

It takes a lot of dedication, I do not know if I would be capable of something like that.

That was the hardest thing done so far in terms of SAGE?

Most defently yes XD

[BlackRangerXIII]

Here is the Scenario:
I'm playing as GLA vs all the Five factions in FFA and I use the Recycler Truck to capture all their tiered technologies:
Will I be able to use all the Tiered Upgrades for the Recycler Trucks and The units for all the factions, even GLA?

Yes

when get one recycler to pick up the material, does he have to get to base to apply it?
and when he upgrades himself, is the same upgrade applicable to all of the units or does every recycler have to pick up salvage?
also, is the recycle system limited to the truck or does it give other units perks?

No.

One Recycler is enough to enable stuff for everyone else.

also, is the recycle system limited to the truck or does it give other units perks?

The Recycler unlocks stuff for other units, depending on WHAT it recycles.

Also, all these things were explained several times by now. Please read the thread/watch videos etc before asking again.

[GeneralCamo]

It's impossible use them with AI Player. Unless, it requires with new AI's scripts.

It's possible if the AI just builds them directly. Obviously this would allow them to build Chinese recyclers when there is no Chinese player on the map.. but it is really the best that can be done.

[sino301]

i watched the vid a couple of times, and heard most of it by now, but it doesn't hurt to read about all of it in the same place

[Serialkillerwhal...]

Just a thought, but which Jin units drop EMP canon scrap?

And would you be able to take parts from another GLA player?

Nuke Cannon with electromagnetic ammunition.

[The_Hunter]

Any chinese tier 2 unit will drop the scrap required to make EMP recyclers.

[Shiro]

As has been stated already, yes of course.

[MARS]

Just to be clear: The crate type and effect is NOT determined by the exact unit it was from, but simply it's tier. ANY Chinese Tier 1 vehicle, be it a Dragon Tank, Inferno Cannon or ECM Tank gives you a crate that lets you upgrade the flamethrower. ANY Chinese Tier 2 vehicle, be it an Overlord, a Shenlong or a Nuke cannon gives you a crate that lets you upgrade the EMP blaster. Having the contents determined by the unit would make the system way more clumsy, unintuitive and even harder to balance because some tech would only be given by some unit belonging to some general, so instead, we choose to interpret the Recycler upgrades as a general way to nick enemy theme weapons, regardless of what general they normally belong to.

[__CrUsHeR]

^ I understood this concept, only mentioned the Nuke Cannon as the unit responsible for having elements capable of being adapted in Recycler Truck.

About your ammo: are electro-explosive barrels that are thrown by your cannon?

Hunter you are truly the master of making SAGE your bitch.

BRAVO

1.85 Do you know yet if you will be making this GLA default or a GP unlock?
2.0 Available for all generals?

I believe the 1.85 is close to fishing.

2.0, not so much.

As for the answers, I know not.

[MARS]

It -probably- won't require a GP unlock at all, since we want this to be a central mechanic of the GLA, so there wouldn't be a point in artificially restricting access to it. And yes, it will be for ALL GLA generals in 2.0, for much the same reason.

From the animation and {G}'s narration, it's a piece of rocket propelled EMP exploding device.

Looks like a improvised barrel with some EMP warhead inside; thanks for the reply.

This really does seem like a potentially game changing addition to the GLA arsenal; assuming that these cross-teched vehicles remain as powerful as they currently seem.
Given that this upgrade appears to be applicable to all Recyclers, and not just the one who recovered the crate, there is suddenly a large incentive to goad T1s and T2s away from a base or column to salvage them. A relatively high cost in terms of losses might even be justified. Given that only the USA has salvageless vehicles (Drones) they will certainly become a favorite to counter GLA.

It will be very interesting to see this mechanic in action in the coming streams, and even more so to see how it is used once it is released to public. One thing is for certain GLA will be a very different beast in the future.
