yes, i am having issues updating this now, its corrupted, I have uploaded this mod new to my workshop

u mean the mods folder of steam or of space engineers ? because there is still the bug

delete this 347400064.sbm from mods folder and download it again, it loads fine for me from workshop, lmk if it still does this for you.

plz fix it so awesome mod

it doesnt load the mod during the loading of a system

mate

if you refer to the colors of thruster, then that is obsolete, we use the recolorable thruster mod on our server, this mod is primarily for our server Hydro Survival

Why are the non armored and the armored Tier 1's different shades of yellow?

alright ty

I multiplied to get amount of small blocks in a large jumpdrive then divided that number by the amount of blocks in the smalldrive. With the result i then divided the distance by the amount of distance per small block and then multiplied by 12 to get the distance a small jump drive can go. That seemed a bit short, so I made them able to jump about 21km, which is reasonable, considering that they are .5% the size of a large drive. I didn't want them to trump large drives either, they can jump 100,000kg 21km max

Hey nuke, so I was wondering what the weight limitations are on the small ship jump drive; a regular J-Drive can jump 2000km max, and its maximum threshold is 1.5 million. Would this mean, for a small ship, the maximum threshold would be 15,000kg? And if so, how much does it scale down?

Hello! I was working on a small ship when I noticed that, while less noticeable, the problem is also with the smaller version of the 1x1x1 small slanted thruster. It appears to happen at the same distance as with it's larger ship counterpart.

must be a problem with LOD for that size, will check it out

(Part One) Hello again! So, I thought that this was just a problem with Space Engineers it's self (like a bug that the Devs caused) but I noticed it's not with all thrusters. It's with yours. Not all of them though, just one. The 1x1x1 slant tier1 large ship hydrogen thruster. It's a render problem, I think. When you're close enough, it looks fine. But if you move far away just enough the entire block goes black with the piped turning white.

(Part Two) This isn't a problem with my video card either. I just got a new, better one (considering mine was five years old) just a few hours ago (relative to this post). All the graphics have been fiddled with to see if I could trouble shoot it. I noticed that it's with just this thruster texture because I have set a tier1 1x1x1 normal thruster and this one side by side and the problem is consistant (I took a picture). I don't know if it's with any other of your thrusters, but this type makes up about 50% of all the ones I use. All mechanics for this thruster work fine.

Wonderful :) Almost all the ships use these thrusters. The series wouldn't be the same without it. It will most likely be called, "New Frontier". On YouTube.

you may @Orcbow, let me know about it so i can watch :-)

The director of the web series wanted to ask the developer(s) of this mod with his own account, but he can’t seem to comment for some reason. So I am posting it for him. The message goes: “Hello. I am creating a web series based in Space Engineers and would like permission from the creator(s) of this mod to use it in said series. Your mod and account name(s) will be credited in the credits at the end of each episode it is used in.”

thank you :)

Tier 1 = 2x Tier 2 = 4x Tier 3 = 8x Tier 4 = 16x They all use the efficiency changes that are in visentenials mods

what is the difference between levels? how do these compare vs vanilla in power & efficency?

that would be awesome. if possible

that might be possible, it's looks really simple looking at the source code.

I want a mod that adds back turret lasers. I like them for some reason.

this has now been updated with the new g-menu changes and may not work properly with stable version.

Accurate picture...

I almost thought that this mod corrupted the files and the lasers didn't work anymore. And I was actually fine with that, I just found out recently that Keen removed them.

yeah.

I think Keen liked it too, they removed them from vanilla :-) that and I think they would have made lag even worse with planets.

This was a great mod until keen removed the lasers, it helped reduce my lag and made it more fun when playing with friends, thank you for this mod while it was needed

yea i did realize they were off until i joined an online server and didn't see them, then I got off and tried a new world and saw that they were gone.

its funny because i didnt know they removed them cause i always use this mod lol

It was indeed quite a useful mod. I never had a problem with the laser causing lag; I would get rid of them because it was so rediculous to have visible lasers in a vacuum.

I know this, but a good mod while it was needed. Wonder if they disabled them because of this mod or just because they caused lag. If the later is the case then they may re-enable them again and this mod will then be useful again.

Obsolete, now that Keen has removed the aiming lasers from all turrets.

Excellent!

It is fixed for DX11

Is there a way to fix it for DX11?

@itsTEOTWAWKI Fair enough I suppose, with the full source code we'll certainly see more options opening up. It would be very nice if modders started by making existing creations more flexible. I agree with you on the render distance for lasers though, there are times I would certainly want a laser. Overall, it would just be better to put the options there and allow users to customize for themselves.

I feel like it's more of a thing the community as a whole should get into depending on which route is more effective: Should there be one mod that recognizes which blocks are turrets/have lasers and adds options in the console? Or would it be better if each and every modder added the options to their turrets? Perhaps the better question, why not see if the Devs themselves could add in the option for all lazers?

Either way, I'm excited as anyone to see what doors it will open up.

@Valtros Oh I didn't say it shouldn't exist, I simply said I would rather have the option to limit view distance, but I appreciate where you're coming from.

@nukeguard Now that Keen opened the source, perhaps you could revisit the mod and see about limiting view distance, it would be useful to those of us that prefer not to eliminate them entirely.

Thanks Valtros for the support :-) nearly 7k subs I guess somebody is using this mod.

@itsTEOTWAWKI

Ok? So... great, I guess? Glad you have an opinion but I'm sure many people have thought that through and still want this mod. I think it's pointless to go onto a mod's page and say you don't think it should exist because you wouldn't use it. Yes, there should be an alternative, like having it so you can manually turn the laser off/on, but until that happens this is the mod people plan to use, everyone has their reasons.

While giving away one's position is never ideal, turret lasers are as much a warning as a beacon, and I would much prefer them over nothing. If there were a away to limit their view distance, that would be preferable, otherwise I wouldn't mod them at all.

That would be a kool effect

im gonna also pair this with this mod http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=339831224 for a kool effect.

@BlackRedDead Ai controlled turrets is not op when both you and your enemy have them. I really just made this mod for dedicated servers to make it more difficult for raiders to raid your bases.

Thank you! This "feature" has always bugged me. I feel like it should be an option like you see for showing gravity field - and subject to all the same requirements (radio connectivity, access, AND 'show on HUD' enabled)

:-(
i like the lasers, but i also dont like that my enemys can see them earlyer than my turrets can fire!
also an ai controled turret wich you cant notice is something op!^^
so a laser wich you can see but doesnt goes endless would be nice :-)
- even if lasers normaly not visible and goes endless far in space, but hey, its a game, you NEED to think in gameplay logics!
so a 800m long laser (wich is the range of the turrets!) where a nice compromise to endless lasers or no lasers^^

not really, I tried that, and the only thing that seemed to work was 0 or 1000

hmm... so it is also possible to just decrease the laser lenght?
