Create: Autonavigation

Overview:

Create: Autonavigation Radar!

Create: Autonavigation + Create: Radar

In the new update, you can aim Sable contraptions directly at radar targets. To do this, connect the Smart Navigation Table to a radar network.

Create: Radar is required for this feature.

Create: Autonavigation is a lightweight addon for Create and Create: Aeronautics.
It introduces the Smart Navigation Table, an upgraded version of the navigation table designed for easier and more flexible autopilot control. Instead of manually preparing a compass and relying on magnetite, you can enter target coordinates directly in the table’s built-in GUI and guide your craft more comfortably.

This makes navigation much smoother for flying, driving, and sailing machines built around Create: Aeronautics. The mod keeps the familiar idea of the original navigation table while extending it with direct coordinate input for faster route setup and better mobility.
Current features: Smart Navigation Table with built-in coordinate input, no magnetite requirement, no manual compass setup, and more convenient autopilot targeting for Aeronautics vehicles.

Examples of Using the Smart Navigation Table

You can build military auto-guiding contraptions, equip your airships and airplanes with more reliable navigation systems, and prepare coordinate-based control for flying, driving, or sailing vehicles.
It can be used for combat craft, scouting machines, transport vehicles, and large moving builds that need fast and repeatable route control. Whether you are setting up an airship patrol route, guiding a strike craft, or building autonomous redstone-assisted navigation systems.

Gameplay Note

This add-on does not use a visible pointer arrow.
Navigation is handled solely via Redstone signals and coordinate-based orientation. This will be fixed in future versions.

CC: Tweaked Compatibility

The Smart Navigation Table can be used as a CC: Tweaked peripheral. Connect a computer directly to the table or through a wired modem, then find it as smart_navigation_table. You can set manual coordinates, read the current target, and check the table’s status from a Lua program.

| Method |Description |
| —————————– |———————————————————————————– |
| setTargetCoordinates(x, y, z) |Sets a manual target using integer coordinates |
| clearTarget() |Clears the manual target |
| getTargetCoordinates() |Returns the current target as {x, y, z}, or nil if there is no target |
| getManualTarget() |Returns the saved manual target, even when connected to a radar network |
| getStatus() |Returns the current mode (idle, manual, or radar) and whether a target is available |
| getPosition() |Returns the table’s position in the world |
| getPointerAngle() |Returns the pointer angle |
| getRedstoneOutputs() |Returns the calculated signals for each direction |

\\\`lua local nav = peripheral.find(“smart\_navigation\_table”) nav.setTargetCoordinates(120, 80, -45) print(textutils.serialize(nav.getTargetCoordinates()))

Requirements: Create and Create: Aeronautics.
