There seems to be a problem now with the Mod unable to push control commands through too many hinge.rotor combinations. Works fine on the first set, no reaction after that.

Fantastic Mod thank you. Not sure if the advance features work though my hinge is not returning to home no matter what i do.

best mod ever created.
please investigate porting it to Pulsar Plugin Hub ???

Здравствуйте автор, Уже больше 3 лет пользуемся вашим плагином.но после недавнего обновы перестал работать...

Would it be possible to expand the number of affected controls and blocks? I'm specifically thinking about using keys like (shift, ctrl, alt) and blocks like thrusters. I'd like to be able to bind the shift key (for example) to turn thrusters on/off when pressed/released.

Bro this mod are amazing, u are a genius,can u add the set action in the toolbar for home position and toggle return home? for more automation pls

This mod is amazing. Easy and practical.

Thank you RougeSable :)

This awesome mod is part of our collection "Sirius - An arcade vision of a survival game" https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3154892496

Thank you to offer this to the community ❤️ And thanks a lot for keeping this mod up to date ❤️

@hanniah yes if you only have 2 mechanical blocks. but if you want more control or have more blocks this is much easier and more fluid in its movement

never mind, i figured it out. for anyone who did not know like me the "set and move" toolbar actions change the limits. they don't just tell it to go to a specific place. i was using this function to sow and deploy my drill crane. but each time i did that it set the limits on the rotor. sad there isn't a function to move to a set distance without making that the limit

I have a crane with a drill on the end. everything works. however the rotor sometimes glitches and cant go past 0 degrees one direction but it can go all the way around in the other direction. and the direction is not always the same. not crippling but wonder if you have any thoughts on this.

Isn't this replaced by the custom turret controller?

(12/20/2024) The mod still works, EVERYTHING is OK!

Please note that all the blocks you want to control MUST BE IN ONE GROUP, and the cabin itself must be in THIS GROUP, then add the cabin to the bottom menu of quick commands, selecting the "Control Mechanics" item when adding and switch to the "ON" mode

Nevermind... I figured it out.

I'm trying to get this to work on a small grid and it doesn't seem to do anything. I'm not sure where I'm making the mistake, I'm following the guide here but no joy...

it does work for me, but trying to add in timers to control the rotors as well is messing stuff up. IDK if its because of me, or the mod, but it was working quite well before i messed it up

doesn't work

Is there a way to have let's say a single rotor to have two possible ways of control? Like, if I saw it want pitch and roll to be controllable in a rotor, is it possible?

Fantastic mod! Massive thanks for making and maintaining it. It's crazy how much can be done with relatively minor setup! Any thoughts on extending the mod to wheels so their speed or high offset can be be influenced? That would be fantastic for controlling subgrids or mechanical contraptions that use wheels to move things around.

the cockpit needs to be in the block group with the control

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some assistance. I can't seem to get the mechanical keybinds to work, I have a rotor connected to the group and have given it a keybind but when I activate control mechanics nothing happens.

I generally don't like the idea of "ought to be vanilla," mods can just be mods. This, however, really ought to be vanilla. The first time you build a yardarm and can control it directly, you'll adopt this sentiment. On the very short list of must-have mods, this one would make that list: it's a basic functionality like "press W to move forwards," and really needs to be integrated into the base game to avoid it falling into disrepair.

I really wish there was a method of synchronizing rotor positions and pistons when you have two individual arms that aren't merged.

I know what you mean though... but in this case, surely simpler is better.

There are plenty of scripts.
The menu and associated benefits are why many of us prefer this over the scripts.
It's excellent.
If it was a plugin, it would be even better.

Is it possible to modify mechanical binds through an in-game script? Like for example, I could make a script that when passed certain arguments, could reconfigure mechanical binds?

I figured our what i did wrong.

Well it works for me on Single Player. But only for the directly placed Grid, no Sub Grid witch is a problem.

Not sure if this mod is being updated anymore. It crashes my game as soon as I connect to my friends game running this mod.

One of those simple in idea mods that really makes life so much easier, and really ought to be made into vanilla. Makes cranes, telehandlers and other such contraptions SO much more effective.

Only one snag: Does not play well with Whips 'Skid Steering' script. By that I mean you can't use the same control seat to do both: Skid Steering takes over. I recommend using a remote control for skid steering, and having your seat for this. Otherwise, 10/10!

Figured it out after a while. Decided to only link 1 hinge in the end as I need independent movement to get right angles

Just trying to set this mod up with 4 hinges to alter direction of a crane. A rotor turns it on its base no problem. 6 pistons extend the crane out. Again no problem. But when I move the hinges, only 1 moves. They all have the same settings so I assume the all use the same setup as all the hinges are facing in the same direction. What am I missing?

So, I only tried the mod recently, and I love it. The only thing that caught my attention, which isn't a big deal, but on the Control Velocity slider, if you Ctrl Click it and type in 1 on a piston, it does 5 m/s instead of 1 m/s. To get 1 m/s you have to do 0.2 for it. Again, isn't a big deal because if you are making a machine using this mod you will have to tinker with the control settings, but I thought I would mention it just in case.

absolutely amazing mod, love it

I'm having some trouble with drills using this mod. If the craft is using more than one drill it seems to lag when updating the voxels or doesn't even respond at all

I am not able to get this to work for pistons at all. Everything is set up as instructed but inputs are not doing anything?

any chance to run this as client side only?

This is amazing. I found this just when I worked up the courage to try to implement PARK. I'm so grateful I didn't have to.

have you thought any more about adding this to vanilla via the plugin manager?

legend

You are my beautiful savior you helped me get ideas for ships/cranes

it works in terminal but not with this

ok, i managed to make it work, however, i cannot control more than 5 pistons at once, i need 8 for my printer

its accessible using a cockpit block

i dont see the control mechanics thing in the g menu

does it work with pistons?

Whats a good number of hinges for drill rig? having trouble working out a good order to get good mobility.

Amazing job. Easy to setup and understand.
I wish there was a way to include the currently mapped keys for a function in the UI, but driving a welding arm with mouse and keyboard is so smooth. Button toggles are painful to make intuitive.

Oh, I already solved the problem
Sorry...)
