I had an idea about a ROTATING CONVEYOR PASSAGEWAY, similar to this so it would be possible to build rotating modules and living quarters that you can traverse through WITHOUT losing atmosphere! Please make that! I would promote the shit out of your workshop items

The Steel plates are sus they vented

Welding walkable conveyors causes the collision to not update properly. This is a SE issue, which can however easily be avoided by defining the final collision shapes for the buildstage models already. Would be great if you could fix that!

Doesn't seem to be working on dedicated servers

Conv. tube inside armor cube will be nice addon to make armor seamless.
Not asking to be airtight But i know thatl vannila passage can be if you put glass on model open area you can make it airtight.

venting? thats a little sus

Adam Jensen approves

There are like 5 other mods that do exactly this that are years old... why is this one getting so much attention?

i can vent like a sus impostor now

it works you just to take one that's takes you down or up to get in

They are not working. I cant get inside, not with jetpack, nor on foot....

finally now i can go full 'yipee ki yay motherfuckers' in my spaceship

this is a very cool idea and i can see some people using them in series or videos on like boreding ships and stations

nice idea. I was tempted to make my conveyor sets empty too, but I was afraid of too complicated collision. Advice: add additional shapes: corner/ edge, and long conveyor. those were most requested in my mod during betatest

@Mr.Riggs Thanks!!

@Marnok I´ve also thought about these, and i´d love to make them happen. Can´t promiss anything tho, as blocks with multiple functionalities are not possible nwithout more heavy modding.

@Your Pal Deebs Possible, but I might be affraid youwould look at an engineer head and foot stick out of them as they are even smaller inside then my crouchy ones.^^

@mikejminer Thank you! I don`t know how the ai´s pathing behaves in SE or if they can even walk through a block that allows this.

So I've been waiting for something like this for a while now, thank you, you're an absolute legend. That being said, are the spiders and aliens from various mods able to use these like its alien isolation, if not, someone please get to work.

Here's a thought: What if someone could make a replacement mod that will slickly replace vanilla large conveyor tubes with walkable ones that would match?

This look great!
I'll be cheeky and drop a suggestion for connectors with opening doors! Also walkable pistons. Then we can have extending docking tubes!

Thanks, my mistake! Thanks for awesome mod!

@Thundercraft Now that is a fair point and I´m might do it at some point.
The only problem that i see remainng is that there would be no real access points throughout the ship to get into the conveyor system, else you need to grind your way in and out.

@ThePhoenixKnight I would love to solve this in a way that let the blocks be pressurized inside and airtight on the outside, if this is not going to work i can add a set of airtight conveyors.

@Mr.Riggs There are two version of the conveyors, one walkable the other not, check if you haven`t accidentally placed the wrong one.

Lil generall update:
Ladders are not really working in the tight spaces of this blocks so I decided to work on a new set of 'conveyor' blocks which will have nearly all their volume walkable and they will look like cliche vent ducts :) soon tm
Another problem is the functionality of blocks, i cant make them ladder conveyor and door at the same time unless i create a 'Laddoor-veyor tm' block which can do exactly this. (Or block in block possibilities plz Keen)

Cool! But how to go inside? I build this tube and can't go in( Even with sneaking, even when i stand on vertical tube.

Please make it to where there is airtight versions of the Conveyors, because I was going to use them for a Scenario but im unable to cause I need all the rooms to be airtight, Aswell as a version with a door /Openable vent

@ Eddo of Rivia [author]
Would it really be purely cosmetic...?

Well, I'm not sure it would work the way I think. But consider the various encounters-type mods out there that add not only NPC creatures, bots and other enemies, but also NPC ships, bases, stations and defended/infested wrecks - mods such as MES Wreckage .

These ships, bases and stations use vanilla parts - stuff like conveyors. So if there was a mod like this that replaced vanilla conveyors, then... wouldn't that force the blueprints used in such encounters to use them? And wouldn't this allow players to walk through the conveyors they use?

fair enough!

Can't wait to see what comes next!

@Thundercraft I just don`t see a reason why, you can just have all the conveyors. Why would you want to replace the vanilla conveyors? It would be purely cosmetic.

@CTH2004 I didn`t want them to be airtight without having a 'door' block as an airlock. Also not making them airtight actually should give them atmosphere inside to breath, they just do need to be surrounded by airtight blocks. Because like kickformoney said thats not how airtighness works in SE. The only exception beeing doors which can switch pressurization on certain mountpoints aka. sides.
I´ll propably try some stuff but i cant make every block a door, because then blocks would need to be a conveyor, a ladder and a door at the same time which SE definitly doesn`t like.

@RMazer I don`t think it`s, you would only be able to walk through the hinge at very limited angels or walk through the walls at other angels.

when the sus

@RMazer There's already a mod that adds walkable rotor. It's not exactly what you were looking for but it's neat.

Dude this is amazing! Can you please make a walkable hinge? Ik people say its impossiable but if you could try you would go hella popular

@Blonduke552

Bingo!

I had this on my mind a couple months ago. Glad someone made it a reality!

so what you're saying, is i can vent?

@Bionuke552 That's not how airtightness works in Space Engineers. You can't have a single pressurized block, a pressurized area is considered to be a space between six airtight blocks.

This is a cool block, I really like this idea.

you could just add a hatch block and an endcap block and boom airtight.

now i can be sus :troll:

it's a shame you didin't make them airtight, though I understand the reason. Would it be possible to make them where they are airtight on the inside, so if you have these sealed, the inside remains presurized? After all, air-ducts have a peculiar habit of, you know, having air (:

not sure how feasible that is, and if it isn't, ah well. still a great mod!

Then, perhaps some day, you'd consider releasing a version that does replace vanilla conveyor parts?

@skye 1. Not airtight as stated in the decription. 2. Maybe at some point, i have a rotor mod that i would like to redesign into this style and walkable mchanical blocks would obviously be cool^^

@ViccyQ I can understand, but I personally am not taking my sci-fy video game that serious. It wouldn`t be hard to remove the conveyor functionality tho so i might do a just walkable version.
Also you can put down two system, one for you and one for your cargo, im not forcing you to transfer items throught this conveyors.

@Thundercraft No they don`t, I would explicitly state this in the mods description if it were the case, as i would expect every modder to do so.

Thanks for the great feedback guys!
I am planning for integrated ladders and access points in the form of vent/cargo containers or hidden doors. There are a bunch of possible implementations alone for vents, as a door or busted open for all the alien fanboys e.g.
I am also thinking about a classic air vent style that would be much easier to traverse because of its thin walls. Especially if ladders are not going to work well in the tight spaces of this conveyor system.
And maybe other styles in the future, looking at you alien fanboys again :)

Seems like a good companion with the Xenomorphs mod...

Q: These do not replace vanilla conveyor parts... do they?

Now you can stealthily sneak around the vents of your ship as if you're playing Half Life again

Works well with "Conveyors by Novar"

looks so cool, need to move stuff? need to get there too?

I always wondered why noone has done a wide but thin conveyor. Isn't the largest thing that passes through them steel plates? that would work without breaking any game rules and be waaaaay more space efficient.

While the mod is super cool I think people are starting to lose sight of what a conveyor does?
In reality, you would be crushed, stabbed, smushed, shredded inside a real conveyor system.

The entire purpose is to move objects in between the tubes for other specific blocks.
Idk stuff like this kills immersion for me and feels cheap. To each their own.

1. how's air tightness working on these?
2. Do you plan any walk-able rotors/hinges/pistons that will fit same style?

Don't you dare make it like Aliens isolation. Please don't.

GUTS

cool mod man
