Well I was hosting from in game so zero lag. I'll try to test some more when I get back on the pc but I can only think of one other mod that could be doing this.

The mod doesn't have any code that can cause something like that. Does it still happen with only this mod in the world? Are you maybe encountering MP lag?

There's a bug in the large connector. It causes you to have to power the block off in order to disconnect because it auto reconnects within a split second of disconnecting. It also seemed to auto reconnect when I powered it back on not letting me get close enough to merge the vessel lines again for a seemless connection.

Even if you click unlock inside the terminal, it auto reconnects a split second later. There's no auto reconnect feature so this should not be happening.

So glad I found this since that older version went a little broken

Thanks for the mods! I'm hoping you might consider one or more of my suggestions for your next project...

A Conveyor and/or Industrial Pipe skinned piston mod for more seamless connections between subgrids.
A Conveyor and/or Industrial Pipe skinned hinge mod (same as above).
Industrial Pipe version of your conveyor expansion mod.
SG versions (I know you've mentioned no plans on this, but a girl can dream).

I've taken a crack at the first, and can confidently say 3d modelling is not my forte... I'll stick to programming.

Alright, sorry didnt see there was a notes section

No, see Notes section above.

the small airlock connector flat is completely airtight, is there any way to make it not airtight while unconnected?

This mod is fun and a must have if you remotly care about lore but I do have 3 problems with it.
1. It is called airlock connectors rather than docking ports.
2. The large connector is air tight in the middle instead of at the end.
3. The connectors count as an airtight block at all times. It should instead only count as an airtight block when locked or when aligned for docking. With a brief grace period of a second or so after undocking for any undocking based even controllers to work in.

I will admit that what I know about modding tells me that the third problem may be very hard and fiddley to fix in se1. But if you end up porting this to se2 you can probobly do the whole thing by making the block simultaniusly a connector and a door.

Hey, could you check if there's an issue with the large connector? I'm working with a script (https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3485188140) and I want to use it to lock and unlock the connector via the script, but it's not working. Other connectors are working.

I can get one soon

Do you have a log of the crash?

Ok its probably a conflict, but just to describe the scenario when it happened

I was welding it from a projection on a planet with low oxygen pressure but warm temp, and as soon as i welded over it to have the game create it, the game crashed.

my only guess is it has to do something with airtightness?

I've done what I can within the limitations of the game. The block as a whole should be airtight. If it's not, it's not something a mod can fix.

Uh it is the large open connector block and I can test rq if it happens in just a world with the mod. Might be having some conflictions with other mods

Really nice work. Beautiful model, cool functionality. I'll be using this on a lot of my builds going forward!

Just one issue on the large (3x3) one: the airtight volume seems smaller than it should be. Rather than reaching to the edge of the yellow ring, it reaches only half that distance, and it also doesn't extend all the way to the outer walls. This means that even when two of these connectors are locked together, there's still a depressurised space in the middle (about 2.5m deep). Obviously this isn't great if your helmet is off in Survival Mode...!

Is it possible to fix this? If it's part of the unavoidable pressurisation jank, I understand, but if not, I think it's the only thing holding this mod back from a perfect score!

which block? and does this still happen in a savegame with only this mod?

I think there is something wrong with one of the construction models, as it crashes my game whenever i try to weld it

First things first this is an amazing addition thank you. Question? If you have created a walk through connector would it be possible to create a walk through rotor? When I saw this my brain exploded and the ideas began to flood in.

I have a suggestion, Could you reduce the size of the small grid connector to a full whole block, I was trying to make a small grid ship(Escape pod) that fit in 1x1x1 Large grid block, but then I found out that the height and width were a tiny bit too large so it's impossible to do so. If you can't do it, that's fine.

I almost feel like this mod is why space engineers now has round corridor blocks.

what weapons are used on the ship ?

omg, I don't have to make jank connector systems anymore.

would this come to Xbox too?

I think I love you

No they are connectors, not merge blocks.

I remember using a mod something like this something like 8 or 10 years ago.
So I wonder does this mod have the same issue namely the airlocks being essentially merge blocks with a weird hitbox and causing the ship to forget its name and weather it is supposed to be a ship or a station when it detaches?

they need something like this to be a part of the base game

Why isn't this part of the vanilla game?! So needed

Awesome mod, there would be only one tiny way to make it even better, build in a camera on the big dock and marking on the dock where the camera is, so you can look and aim while docking :-)

Awesome! I've played SE for so long and this has always been my top mod wish, your implementation looks really good!

I've heard from comments on other airlock mods that making them essentially into a piston causes physics issues or something to that effect. Could an extensible airlock essentially just switch between two solid states, with say one being 1x1 and the other being 1x3 blocks long, with a transition animation played inbetween, without actually using code or physics from a piston? Would it be possible to use the expanding collision model of a piston without the attendant physics? Could this be done with hinges to make a 1 or 2 axis flexible docking port?

This really is something that needs to be vanilla

good to hear!

Much better, not even a scratch upon docking

It was a few days ago, I will undock, pull away, and then attempt to redock when I get home from work. See how it goes. Will give feedback on results.

@naustomo I actually just updated the mod a day or two ago to try and make it more sturdy. When did you test this?

I do love this mod. That being said, I made a very heavy corvette. Even around .5 m/2 or less when drying to dock, one of them usually gets destroyed when trying to dock. Maybe more HP even it it takes quite a bit more materials to make. Anyway, kudos on the concept and creation.

HEY KEEN!!! Make this vanilla......please.

very good

could you make an extendo variant like the ones in sifi shows and movies when 2 ships are docking to each other? if not its fine

A 3x3x1 would better replace Zardo's LG rings

haven't this been attempted in the past?

Truly epic, I've been waiting for a new airlock connector mod

Great ideas and the drive to make them a reality!

Babe, wake up. New AQD mod dropped.

@AngryDuck! same

these are really cool

I hope they treat air like they're treating water in SE2 because the one thing I've always lamented was missing from SE1 was the ability to make working docking airlocks where you could have two ships connect to each other with an airtight seal that allowed the passage of people and atmosphere between the two grids. Airtightness is "janky" because the engine doesn't treat air like a fluid. Airtight is a characteristic of the block, not an effect in and of itself.

Are these new or a reboot of Zardo's Airlock Connectors?
