noice, thanks.

After several years and changing computers, I have finally regained my ability to upload changes to this item. XML edits to bring basic functions in line with current SE versions have been done.

If there are errors or outdated information in the properties of this block, please let me know.

I have no plans to alter the skins/models of the blocks, or alter their basic operating principles. Too many games/creations/servers could be affected if fundamental changes are made.

So are these like more effective welders, or are they just visually different welders?

agreed @janack, always found it a tad irksome that they're all different pages. Would be nice to have a "Twin Tools Pack" with all 3 in it.

I was wondering if it is possible to combine these three mods into one mod pack? I don't have a problem getting all three, I was just thinking about using them on a private server and doing a mod list for it.

ah ok. Yeah I noticed a ton of things were missing from my SE modpack, wonder what happened.

@vizthex I honestly don't know - just woke up one morning and they were gone, so I scrambled to re-upload them as all my games were breaking.

anyone know why the originals got delisted?

been curious for 2 years now.

It has more range I think

Agree... I missed this mod when it popped off the list. Can't remember what it does now though.

So it's a reupload of something, but what does it actually do? Might be worth making the description a little more... descriptive :)

why not spread this idea around and see if someone else can do it?

As answered previously, that is not something that is planned for this mod, and I don't know if it is even possible. Light to heavy armor conversion can be accomplished by editing the world file (while the game is shut down) using SE Toolbox, however, so I suggest you look at that if you need to convert one of your ships between light and heavy armor.

@Hadies_Alchemist - while I don't think such a thing is currently possible in SE, even if it was it is most definitely beyond my current skills.

Hello I was wondering you think it would be possible to make a mod with welders that convert light armor to heavy and back. That mod would be amazing.

Would it be possible to have a nerfed version of this model ? The current model grinds very much forward... One or two blocks reduction (still more than vanilla) would be much apreciated if you could ? :)

Hey mate. I love your mods, the twin tools are super handy, the only thing I would add is a bit of feedback when you are using them like some sparks or something so you know its working and maybe a bit of info on how it compares to the vanilla one. thanks!

how much is cost?

@manny the mammoth: yes, the AOE on these is still greater than the vanilla welders.

Per the 8/23 update is the AOE greater than vanilla welders

Twin grinders has also been updated, by the way. Same changes were required.

Thank you, Tharatan!!!

Mod has been updated and should be working now. Change notes added to description.

hey can you update the mod? since they updated the game i cant use the welder anymore...

And can u add PCU to large twin welder, please? )

Broken by the minor update? All right, I guess I know what I'm doing this morning!

crashes when you place it :/

This mod is broke. Please, fix it)

It looks like mod was broken by last minor update. And twin grinders too. Didn't test drills.
Sir Tharatan, fix it, please. We like'em so much!

I have an issue with this mod and the last update, at least in DS. The welder doesn't spawn when I try to build it, and every blueprint with this welder also doesn't spawn.

I seem to be missing the sparks when welding?

Thank you so much for reuploading them! They're so very useful.

@Drako Edor: I'm not quite sure what's affecting you, but I just tested both the grinders welders, and they are definately operating at a multi-large-block range and radius of effect. Can you try clearing your mod folder and redownloading them, and see if it persists?

the range and sped of these things are a little... okay not a little but way to small. I have to literally touch the tools (both grinder and the welders) against the blocks just to interact with them, I even brought up the debug draw just to see the range and the little sphere was half-way inside the tool itself. If you could just bump the range out to just infront of the tools it'd be a million times better, I can suffer with the slow speeds because these are tiny and perfect for compact little ships, but when you have to ram the ship against a block just to do anything to it it's really hard and easier to just use a T1 grinder (a little faster as well)

From my recollection of the original mod author's description, the rate at which these welders work is identical to the vanilla ones - the only change is to the area of effect. Since they can be affecting more blocks at once, it will appear to have slow process, as the welder will bounce between each block in the area in turn for a tick, rather than concentrating on a single block at a time.

@murlin all of that data is stored within the model. theres a sphere in there that defines the area. I cant get the models to load without blender crashing.

its a bitch, right?

its so slow

Ive heard some reports that the range and speed of these welders have been gimped massively. Ive opened the mod to see if I could increase them yet I don't see anything in the mod that actually adjusts welder range. What exactly allows these modded welders to supposedly increase range at all?

NVM my last comment, I found them two pages over. You should put a link in the description to the three of them on the other pages so that people can easily find them.

did you re-upload the tiny grinders? I'd check your workshop page but private profile.

If we haven't seen the original mods return by 7-27-2018, I will start looking at making sure these get updated with PCU values appropriate for the new update, and checking if there are any errors within the mods that have accumulated since it was last updated.

Twin Drills have been reuploaded as well. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1448253243

Thanks, a pity, these mods are the best.

@RoCkHeLuCk - sadly, I didn’t have a copy of twin drills in my local mods folder, so I can’t do anything about them. Hopefully someone else can reupload them.

What happend "Twin Drill"?

what happend?

thx ^^

Thank you
