hey so upon further inspection the colliders on it are completely messed up and appear to have 4 blocks(?) around the main collider which is also off-center. i'm taking a look at fixing it myself if you don't have the time and am curious if you have the original fbx files for the model. of course if you don't/don't want to give them that is also all good.

oh and also the sounds and particles continue even when unpowered/turned off which is a bit strange but otherwise works as intended aka it stops working which makes sense

can confirm the top half of the block has no collisions

@crimson Sorry, this is really out of my control. Any issues like that are solely ToolCore's to deal with, as all this amounts to is an XML definition on top of ToolCore.

As for the clipping, I don't recall experiencing that issue, but I will look into it at some point.

@Copper are you planning to update your mod to the latest SE version?

cause, I gotta say, I love this mod, especially since it cuts down on voxel edits, so having this mod up to date would mean the world to me.

also, there appears to be weird clipping issues with the block's collision boundaries. which I can only guess that the collision boundary for the block is flipped 180 horizontally, cause I don't believe you're supposed to be able to clip into the top of said block.

Does this mod no longer work? I can't get it to appear in the game.

This no longer works from what i can guess. Tried to figure it out and does nothing.

Has anyone had issue with the ore deposit being changed to magnesium over time with a ore tap over it?

Does this work with modded ores such as BetterOres?
