@Begarnir, issues are fixed in the meanwhile.

@WardenWolf, thats a feature that came in the new game update. That is why its not working in this mod. Will also never work in this version of the mod as it is not maintained. I am planning in fixing that in my version, which I maintain (2 versions of it).

This mod is NOT MAINTAINED !!!
Look for the one that has "maintained" in the title!

Stalker maintained mod is broken. Not stability work. original mod correctly than.

Thank you maintaining it, STALKER. Heads up to all, this mod does still work as-is, but unless you disable grinding and looting functionality it will cause meat drops from enemies to disappear when turned on; the meat isn't collected, it simply disappears. Only problem with this mod I've ever encountered.

fix plz

Since this original mod, for which we are very grateful to the author for his hard work, has no longer been updated since 2021, SKO85 has taken over the work of updating it, so we can continue to enjoy this mod in current versions of the game. Please visit the updated mod page at https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2111073562&tscn=1756756647
I will add that the updated mod supports several languages

The maintained version has a larger area setting! And you can turn off the auto turn I think, I managed to do it but it's tricky.

This works fine for me, There is one out there with (Maintained) in it's name but I do not like that I can't turn off the thing that makes it auto turn off after 15min so I don't use it.

havent been able to have a playthrough without this now! There any plans to have a SE2 version?

One of the best mod ever, fully help in all operations , awesome mode

Dead and abandoned

is Nanobot Build and Repair System working? i can seem to get it to work on my server. can anyone help?

i refuse to play without this and the drill and fill system now, very 10/10 :D thanks!

@Beats, use mine. Its posted in the comments on next comment pages. Read the description of it too what iscrequired to make it work.

Anyone find a script that works with this? The last one I used isnt working anymore.

Yeah I just set it to welding only and ignore the whole grinding part, too much to think about.

@andywht
dont know either why it decides to randomly eat stuff and as far as comments and posts inside the bug reports discussion over the last few years go i am not alone with it.

i have done all steps i can do from a moduser side for trying to isolate and solve it but besides it happening in every world i open up with it after atleast 1 bars is a few dozen hours build with just bars in the world as long as the janitor has more selected than just grinding enemy blocks i could neither narrow it down further nor solve it.

there is definitly something going on as i tried some other versions of bars and i couldnt reproduce it with anyone i tried that got updated in the last 2 years.

though id also like to note down that i am mainly use aie in most worlds nowadays and bars just in a few settings and when i use it the rebalanced version of SKO85 where i dont have probs with bars owned by me eating random stuff i own.

@Abisius Xarvenius Carbensius - I'm playing Survival Impossible scenario right now, with Reavers, Imber and Assert. BAR grinds enemy grids and not touching mine. Plus I have over 70 mods along with it. I wonder why does it work for me and not for you?

@SKO85
doing a clean modredownload (deleting all files related to the mod i have probs with from the main and worlspecific storage folder and the workshopfolder of the steam library in which se is installed before triggering a redownload via resubbing and then waiting till its finished without touching it or doing anything else) is one of the first things i do when i have probs with mods, directly after a modconflictcheck and telling steam to check for file integrety.
so iam pretty sure i got the latest version.

random stuff owned by me getting eaten by a bars owned by me while the janitor is allowed to grind neutral stuff is also a problem i encountered so far only with the original bars since the survival kit is out and not with any of your versions.

@Abisius Xarvenius Carbensius, you should make sure you have the latest version. Steams sometimes does strange things with updating mods, Re-Subscribe works most of the time outside the game.

@Abisius Xarvenius Carbensius - that is very strange indeed. I've read in your answer regarding "janitor grinds neutral blocks", hence made that comment. I have both settings off at all times.

@andywht
somehow i doubt you read my comment fully as you told to turn the "grind unowned blocks" off while i have already stated that if it is on it is eating stuff it shouldnt which by itself should by basic logic already tell that its off due to its problems (which it has for years even before updates to this mod stopped), heck if you go far enough back you will find comments of me saying it and telling others having probs with it that turning this option off stops wheels beeing eaten.
besides that while testing around with just this version of bars and no other mod in the world this results in bars not doing anything at all besides consuming power.

Little update: I haven't bought last 2 DLC's, but running the latest game version, as it automatically updates with Steam

@SKO85 - Yes, playing with it right now along with other 70+ mods
@Abisius Xarvenius Carbensius - Set "Janitor grinds not owned blocks" to Off

@andywht
for me it doesnt work properly even after making a clean redownload.

besides wheels, subgrids with no ownable block on it and random not ownable blocks beeing eaten if you allow the janitor to grind neutral stuff it doesnt do anything.

@andywht, are you sure? With the latest game version? I definitely know this is one is broken.

This mod works with no issues here. My everyday mod

This is one of the best mods of all time.

@The Autistic Page
that isnt due to a mod conflcit its due to this version of bars beeing deadly out of date and already having had probs with grinding unowned subgrids like wheels beforehand while it was still maintained.
i suggest searching a still maintained version of bars and look if you have the same problem there or not and you have there a far better chance to get it fixed.

or you do the same as me and switch over to aie and have fun with robot helpers.

For some reason even when all the settings are correct some of my units GRIND my base or ships. This is when it is set to welding only and grind colors are also off. Any idea if there are conflicts with specific other mods?

For those that can't find the blocks: they are gated by the progression system.

Change the world/global settings. Check the pinned thread titled "Block Settings".

is there a way to make it more faster?

@fyreeater
dont think this version of bars is getting an update anytime in the visible future, though there are still maintained versions of it out there.

Is the build and repair going to get updated. I want to use it. But it has been crashing on some games.

@Swiftie @CaveDweller
this version of bars is atm deadly out of date and looks like Dummy08 is no longer around to update it, but there are others versions of bars out there stil beeing kept up to date or even aktivly beeing worked on.

i for my part switched over form bars to aie as i find that one far more fun.

Just jumping back into the game and this mod seems to be dead. I cant even find it in the build menu any more. RIP

@lordgamer7225

I'm going to say doubtful considering this mod appears to no longer be updated. Though I do hope something similar appears. A lot of my builds are designed with this mod as a core component

is there any plans to move to space engineers 2?

@McStone
id like to point out that you might want to look for a more up to date version of bars, there are multiple avaible inside the workshop.

besides that the wheels beeing eaten is due to se ownership handling and any subgrid without a ownable block (which wheels are) counting as kinda neutral and thus keeping the default janitor setting of janitoring unowned and neutral stuff results in them beeing eaten.

Thank you for this mod, it is an essential on our server and I think most others now. It does, however, famously love eating the wheels off of rovers. Even if it is on the same rover grid while you are actively driving around. Is it possible to add a toggle to 'ignore wheels' from the janitor? Even if this results in a hard exception to ignores all wheels even if painted, the tradeoff to hand grind them is worth not having them get randomly eaten off.

Also, the priority list is broken, it only grids furthers/nearest first.

Thank you again for this most excellent mod!

@ThiRalÐ

Yes! Near the end of the description you'll find the link to a script that helps automate a lot of that!

Tell me, is it possible to tell Nanobot to make the missing parts? It's a bit of a pain to do them ourselves. Thanks for your answers!
