Could you, please, remove the connector graphical parts from the parts which don't function as connectors? That would solve the issue people are having. Thanks!

Wait...it's seriously hard coded that you can't have four connector ports on one object...in the base code? THAT sucks.

it's one of two sides without those darker wedges

I cant find the one that would connect

one does, should at least

None of the sides connect to a connector

not working... connector don't lock

Yes but no Steel, add steel :)))

they have same build reqs as regular containers

I can work around only one side connecting but not when crates explode from lightly touching surrounding blocks. Need a serious strength boost imo.

could you please rephrase that?

how do you make a connector that does not require power to connect?

Oh, I get it. Okey, thanks buddy :)

light up and connects.
the problem with this mod is that only one port works.
cause i screwed up and it's hardcoded
so container has these 2 darker ridges going along 4 of its faces
one of the two faces WITHOUT the ridges work
from default orientation it's the one on the right

Thank you, i'm waiting for results :)

i'll test

I don't know what I do wrong, but it doesn't want to connect (even doesnt highlight yellow)

Hydrogen tank would useful too

Does this container not get picked up by trash settings?

wouldn't mind a hydrogen tank like this.

Great idea but it might be better if you just remove the non functional connectors or somehow mark the only connector that actually works.

If it were vanilla it would also requier a power source. Also it would look better if two blocks were used.

if i wanted multiple blocks i would've used vanilla container and vanilla connector

Why don't you make it have 2 half container blocks. This way you also have extenders to increas cargo size.

you cant add more than one functionality of a functional block to a single block

Hmm that is somewhat awkward, maybe connectors in one direction and merge block in another direction? Think something akin to a ship cargo box but with a connector in a direction, would be just cool as ship to sweep in and grab a cargo box in space combat (which is now viable with the relative dampening) and zoom off. Kinda star wars ish.

sadly i couldnt really go through with the idea all the way cause number of connector rings is hardcoded to 1 and SOMEHOW while i was testing the fact went under the radar

Yummy, been saying we need some kind of detachable cargo thing for ages now, and due to the way SE works making it as a dense grid is basically impossible.
Would love to see some varients of these so that cargo ships/bases etc could be designed with the idea of moving containers of things rather than having to completely dock ships up all the time to move cargo about.

for now
the one that works is the one without those bars coming through,
there are only 2 of them as opposed to 4 with the ribs coming through

No need for killing, any chance you could make the rest of the work OR Highlight the working one and remove the rest?

ok so 1 of the 6 slots work
chances are it's the only slot that ever worked
and if it's only slot that ever worked fkn kill me

thanks for looking into it, Great idea with this mod

there was no update to the game?
gonna look into it

I too am having issues, Mod may be broke due to game updates. The containers stick together just fine, was able to make a large stable block of them and a line of the too, but even with the connection strength turned up-to 100% on both the ship and the cargo box , they do not connect.

i can't get it to work ... connectors stay off all the time i'm missing somthing?

this is going to be very useful.

I think if it had one side with a conveyor port, that would be handy.
... if it doesn't already.

Ye gods, what is this sorcery?

This mod is too great not to do a video of ^-^

Awsome!

oh lol ranos found your video

there are no current plans on doing other models
i am still in process of fighting 3d software to do my bidding

Just one like the longer container. It looks like two large containers welded together.

@ranos what do you mean? you want a bigger container or what?

code-wise it is a connector not a container

so because its a container not a connecter you can make it not require power? now that you have figured out a workaround, is it posible to make containers in the shape of slim connecters (like this mod http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=387054218) that dont require power to connect but have regular conveyor ports on the other side? that would allow a lot of flexibility. a cargo container that had 3 conveyor ports and 3 connectors would allow you to put a parachute on it and drop them from a ship at high altitude, drain them, possibly put other stuff in them, attach them to a launch ship that brings them back to space, rinse repeat.

also dead drones suck.

nice

From what you have said below, it doesn't produce any power, it just thinks it's always powered. Which is a great way to do it in my opinion.

Any way, do you think you may be able to add an extra large container line the one from this mod: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=375315957 ?
Even adding containers like the ones from the Azimuth mod pack could be an interesting idea.

every time i turned ship's reactors off containers got detached so i don't think you really can power anything with them

I wouldn't imagine it's much; probably only a watt or two.
