oh okay thanks

They're technically "tires" instead of armor blocks. I'm not 100% how well they perform today with game updates, but they significantly reduced the amount of damage vehicles received from bumping into things. Collision damage used to be extreme & melted blocks. Tires had the benefit of being more resistant to it.

out of curiosity what dose this mod do? dose it reduce impact damage or dose it take damage instead of the parts behind it like an armour block or will stuff bounce off it ? I'm just not sure if it suits my use case or not if anyone knows that would be great

Thank you MagnusEffect, I truly appreciate your kind words! I'm doing much better! There's still a long way to go, but I've got the time!

It's a shame my internet is so crappy, I'd play co-op SE. Only being able to play solo was a major contributor to why I stopped playing/modding.

I have nothing to say other than thank you for your previous contributions Shaostoul and hope you are doing better.

And pay no attention to anonymous worms that would rather hurl unwarranted insults your way than contribute something constructive or meaningful. The internet is full of them and they are cowards and or morons every one of them.

No one has offered to update it. Anyone is welcome to, they just have to add me as a contributor so my fans don't flag it.

@Shaostoul did you authorize anybody to edit this mod? It's so useful, but I'd hope somebody can allow it to be textured from color picker.

It's what my community suggested/voted on/designed. It fulfilled the role exactly as they needed it. They called them bumpers.

Nice to know I made a lasting impression! I don't recall your name, care to provide context from where I impacted your life previously?

ah, that's why it's so confusing... 🙄 - @shaostoul you never learned from your mistakes, you're still telling yourself to be right despite it's evident that you're wrong, even years later! - go search for the definition of "bumpers" yourself you incredible ignorant fool! 😒

exactly Bumpers is enought since there is only one type of block in game that bump to other safely and thats wheel other best is the blast doors but these colide safely

The video is so my fans know why there's no updates, therefore it's informing my customers.

"Bumpers" is succinct description, 18,000+ seem to agree.

It seems you don't know what bumpers are, hope this helps: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+are+bumpers

It seems you've forgotten what a troll is, hope this helps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

Be rude, get rude responses.
Be kind, get kind responses.

Continue to be fussy & I'll continue ignoring you.

Troll? EXCUSE ME!!! State a fact is not about trolling! Its about say the stone cold truth and let the smart people to understand, the bootlickers to attack it, and the cowards to stay silent!

If you make something, you supposed to let the "costumers" know what is this, not make fake ads, but inform the "costumers" correctly, who will to you use your merchandise. If you not, your position is 100% attackable!

When i clicked on this mod, i saw an interesting picture, and will to get it. IF IT WILL FULFILL ITS PURPOSE I WILL TO Donate. Because i from Emirates, money not problem to me, and i glad to donate money with people who put effort and hard work to do something for other peoples! BECAUSE Every working person deserves to be paid for their job! EQUALLY!

But, here i find ONLY a video where a person talks for around 5 minutes! AND NO ANY INFO ABOUT THE MERCHANDISE WHAT HE MADE! YES ITS MERCHANDISE! Meaningless its free or not, everything is merchandise until you mark its a donation!

Thank you NeroDrake <3

Some people live to troll & hurt people's feelings, I choose to ignore them or if possible create a sassy mod update or video like I did with the rainbow thruster mod.

who are you to atack him Shaostoul gave us the SE comunity great deal and till this day even Keen is using some of his ideas for updates he made this video to answer us what happened and why he cant continue and instead of beying greatfull you both are bitching on him if something happened to you and you had a lot of fans then you would just stop responding and elave them in confusion the only think im sorry is the fact i didnt reply before as i didnt check comments of separate mods as i used the master collection mostly or jsut forcefields on smaller projects

Rikkavidu_GER
I line up with you Buddy! What the hell?! This guy's face not so hot enough to watch it for minutes...

What for a shit Video. I want see how works the Mod, and not a Men that talking to us. Bäh.

Hah! I dig it!

Talking of creative use for bumpers.... ;)

Antenna base... lol!

Hey guys, I'm so sorry to do this to you, but I need to work on my future for concern of not having one if I'm not careful. Please check out the video added to the description discussing me going on hiatus from modding Space Engineers.

should be able to

Can they be colored?

To those of you wondering why updates and changes are taking so long. Please take the time to read the new blue wall-o-text in the description. If you don't care to read it, just know it could take a long time for everything to get the updated but, they'll hopefully happen eventually.

Ah. Very good then, I was thinking of using these to prevent damage to a tram slot termination.

To act as bumpers. Y'know the things that you put on bumper cars? Slap a few of these on, they're a bit more resilient than armor blocks to being destroyed. Or you could use them as some of the other craftier people use them as piping cosmetically. Or whatever your imagination can come up with.

These look interesting, what are they for?

UPDATE: October 28, 2016

WARNING: Sometimes mods corrupt when updating. Locate the 9digit number in the URL that corresponds to a 9digit.sbm file in the AppData/Roaming/SpaceEngineers/Mods folder. Delete that SBM file and it will force a redownload.

Finally! It took a while for me to get the update out since I got home from Florida but, all is well! My cousin's brain surgery went fantastically and he's returned to work. It's lovely to be back in Washington and have everything back that I missed. IE: My computer, bed, and amazing well water. :P

Thank you everyone for your wishes and being patient during that difficult time.

-This update brings everything to the current Stable SE version.
-Steam thrusters were quieted and white box shouldn't appear.
-Glass should be fixed.
-Many texture fixes to be in line with the new renderer.

Thanks for the help!

Try going into the appdata/roaming/spaceengineers/mods area and delete the 9digit.sbm file that is associated with this mod. The 9 digit number to look for is in the URL.

Hey Shao, I've run into a serious problem with your mod. I don't know why, but I only get a 3 way bumper whenever I load it into SE. I'm not sure if it's confliction with other mods, but I can't use it and I really need it for builds. Please help

UPDATE:
-Steam Thruster 'should' be fixed and quieted down.
-Added support for the new variants system. (4000+ lines of code later)
-Cleaned up some code.
-No errors beyond "None File Extensions" present on release. I was able to place, grind, and weld all blocks without crashes.

The mod was released via the development branch, however no code changes took place that will break it for the stable branch. You will get a prompt about this, but you should have no issues.

they 'should' be available for small ships, I'll figure out what's wrong.

there are a lot of bumpers not available for small ship, will that stay like that or are you going to update?

Nice, and thank you!

I don't think I could do the solar sail, due to the limitation of one block type per block. I'd have to code something quite complex to actually work.

I thought that you could already have an 'anti-grav' sort of bike already. I remember seeing a lot of stuff that would just barely hover above the ground as it flew around. If I could play on planets I'd test, but it's quite laggy for me and my old computer.

I couldn't make the slow shield from Dune sadly. At least not with what I presently have available. I'd probably have to do a lot of scripting, which is a bit out of the area of modding I'm familiar with.

The ram would probably just work best as a heavily armor spike of some sort. I can only really think of weapons focused on real close combat.

Maybe a solar sail, which can give forward momentum like an engine but only in space-sunlight - no complicated mechanics needed.

Or a sandspeeder antigrav, which by the quantum effect keeps your vehicle at a short level above the ground (like a hovercraft ), making you a genius torchbearer of mod invention and freeing the screaming souls of land-transportation engineers from those cursed wheels?

M'kay, I'll stop. :3

Wow, did I got you hooked? ;)

Can you detach ramming damage resistance? Weapons should affect it like the material of the armour it is from.

I do not know it's possible, but you maybe could add a slow energy armour, like that one in Dune which violently reacted to lasers.
Like reverse gravity which only pushes away a slow body, not bullets and maybe slow rockets?

Ah, I see. Hmmm... I'm not sure how one would introduce a ramming type of block that'd be more resilient than the armor blocks it is ramming into and impart more damage.

I can't readily think of any way to make a more effective ramming tool than just a spear of armor blocks. I could make a flame thrower, via a thruster type of block. I could make an extremely short ranged cannon of sorts that imparts a lot of damage. I'd have to try a few static ideas for ramming weaponry.

I'll fiddle with things and see if I can get any where for proper ramming styled stuff that isn't just armor.

Example:
White Flayer God level enemy:

Thank you for asking!

I mean bumpers used like a ship's ram on galleons.

There is the religious faction of White Flayers in From the Depths, a game I frequent.
They use mainly quick units employing rams, saw-blades, and drills - essentially contact weapons - and I like this concept a lot in my designs.

I've just wondered, are the ramming concept have a right to be in like a mod?
I mean can they be coded, and would people like to use them as ramming thru another ship, while soaking damage, or employing them on swinging blades or rotating sawblades...

Like this. :3

They are in code considered wheels, so they have more resilience to collisions.

What do you mean by rams?

Do they resist collisions?
Are there a Rams mod too? ;)

ok. :)

I was thought I did get them all added to the small grid, I'll double-check to make sure.

I read redcobalt60's comment, don't take me TOO serious. But still it's racist. :\

Please, Shaostoul, having this mod partially for small grid is RACIST against the small grid.

Please, end racism. For good.

The current expected date is the 23rd, so hopefully some time not too long after then.

Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate the work that has gone in to your mods. Sorry to hear about cpu, and look forward to possibly having the whole bumper set for small ship blocks..thanks if you can make it happen.

Yay. I needed the small bumpers anyways.
Hope you get it soon!
