      • auto laser : mix point defense and disruptor

      • auto rifle : mix classic sprites and point defense

      • auto loaders : don't spend too much time on ammo and missile auto loader as size might change when grinders get added

      • auto reactors : regular reactors with extra stuff

        • check schematic in secret folder
        • bonus : differents lights for each modes

      • capacitor

      • circuit breaker

        • blueprint : green
        • roof sprites
        • normal map
        • doodads for screen
        • damage levels

      • console : 2x2 control room with extra stuff

      • coupling wires

      • drone controller : 3x3 control room with extra stuff

      • drone cores

      • drone ftl : regular ftl but smaller

      • ftl resonator

      • internal structure : done

      • nodes

        • all sprites
        • special sprites for each nodes

      • scout shield : large shield but very small

      • semiconducting wires

      • small sensor : mix big sensor sprites with radar from control rooms

      • transformer

        • blueprint : green
        • roof sprites
        • normal map
        • doodads for screen and lights
        • damage levels

      • weapon controller

        • blueprints : red
        • roof sprites
        • normal map if different than roof light
        • merge floor, optimize doodads
        • damage levels

      • lantern : check if good

        • battery sprites if needed

• II) porting and balancing

  • A) rewrite parts to make them useful and not op

    • auto loaders : take ressources from grinders to produce ammo

  • B) add new parts as needed

    • grinders : one for each natural resources, store large amount of resources for auto loader only

    • ammo belt for other ammo

    • auto storage : like an ammo belt, but with more storage

    • small automated resource collector : 1x1, smaller range

    • large automated resource collector : 3x3, longer range

    • drone mining drill : 2x2 side mount, short range

    • extra cpu : more command points for drone core

    • automated hyperdrive beacon

  • C) add feature and qol

    • fire resistance buff or automated fire extinguisher (might need c# to not look janky)

    • make transformer and circuit breaker detect autoreactor adjacency for turning on

    • weapon controller code glue reset crew priorities

      • solution : leaving partcrew as is, add crewtoggle and replace partcrew references by crewtoggle reference (pro: bug removed, cons: more code, more works to make other mods compatible with auto++)

• III) c# or waiting for feature

  • removing crew from drone : prevent ship from turning into junk when no crew on board if they have a node

  • build/repair ships without crew

• ?) faction ships and career content
