Leak Finder

Description
Shows a path towards exterior of the ship while respecting airtightness. Open terminal of any Air Vent block to start a scan.

This used to be a feature in my Build Info mod but I split it off due to popular request. Both this and BuildInfo can be used at the same time.

It has some improvements since it was split too: It automatically re-computes path when grid changes and no longer has a time limit before it hides. To hide it are manually, go far from the grid or seal the leak.


Has a config file to customize the colors at:
%appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Storage\3170315974.sbm_LeakFinder\Config.ini

The config can also be found in Text HUD API's mod configurator (chat + F2) if present, but it does not depend on it.


Also available in PluginLoader's mods list.


mod io?

Found it. The air vent was on a subgrid of the pressurized space. Moving it solved all issues. Thanks!

The red dot is the ship exterior, the target for the pathfind to reach. If that's inside your base then it's probably made of multiple overlapping grids.
If you feel this is a bug, please post a blueprint of the grid and I'll see what's up.

Hey! Great mod, helped me numerous times. But I have a case when the trace ends with a red dot and doesn't show a leak. Room is not pressurised.

I followed the steps in that article (pretty much the only thing I did was unsubscribe and subscribe again). The leak finder is now showing up in the air vent's control panel. Thanks for your help!

It is supposed to be in the terminal like in the screenshot.
The main menu meaning it was added to the world? Then probably it downloaded wrong, try: https://spaceengineers.wiki.gg/wiki/Fixing_Download_Corruption
If that still doesn't help, post the SE log because something ain't right.

How do you use this mod? Nothing happens when I open an air vent's control panel, and I don't have a section in its control panel for leak finder. I already subscribed to the mod and enabled it in the main menu of SE.

Sounds like a coincidence, this mod does nothing with items.

First, using any plugin loader or pretty much any game .exe that isn't the one the game shipped with? If so, try launching the normal game without that, that would see if there's an issue with some plugin (or mod brought in using that loader).

Then if the issue is stil lthere with game's official exe, can you post a screenshot of the issue (so I know where to look exactly) and post the world itself too, I'll check it out to see if I can find what causes it. Publishing both on steam is probably simplest, and drop the link here or DM me on discord @m_digi

I consider this a must-have!

So this is the first time I've added a mod to my world after starting. And, I had no idea that it did not auto add. I feel like a complete moron. Thank you for setting me straight. And for replying so quickly! Absolute hero. Cheers!
