I agree with WackaFlackaFlem, it keep disconnecting after leaving my base (Multiplayer server as well)

il try and take a look later and test again, im hoping that should be a easy fix, not sure why it has came back after all this time lol

To clarify, I mean my power poles disconnecting from one another. Not a crashing issue.

Anyone have any fixes for the disconnect that happens when I travel away from my base?

I'm playing an online hosted multiplayer server.

Thanks! Here's the logs for both me and my friend in a world with just this mod, there's a time diff of 3 hours. And the fix for the disconnecting tethers is in the README. It may end up being a symptom of the problem causing the crash but idk. I can send you some world files too if you need.

anything in the logs for why its crashing? maybe i can look? i havenmt updated it to new updates yet sadly

Been trying to run this on a server with some friends but every time they get out of sync distance of the base they crash and the tethers break. The tethers breaking was a pretty easy code fix but I can't figure out how to stop the crashing which sucks because this is really cool otherwise :/

Never mind, I found the fix, you have to fully grind down the blocks and replace them

Has this mod become broken after this hotfix for anyone else?

it is already, closer to the top, its a bit much in description though, maybe one day il make more obvious

Thanks again! Might be worth putting that in the description though :P

C:\Users\Faolon\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\76561198337890155\Power test v2 Tethers Mod\Storage\TethersInDev_Faolon\settings.cfg obv go to your user and save xd but thats the path

Thanks! And which file do I need to edit to adjust the max cable length? 100m seems a bit short

transformer pillar, just diff style for now, nothing different, charging station has 1 connection max, also just mainly used to plug into small hose connector for the small grids, or to charge large rovers with a charging point on them,

What do the transformer pillar and the charging stations do?

Yes! Its great. IO translates the computer component to basic computers, which isnt bad because its just sillicon and copper wire to make those, but displays are made in the microelectronics fabricator and those require rarer ores and the oil and synthetics production supply chain to make, so its quite expensive lol.

i may play around in the future too, or make a addon for this mod? i love industrial overhaul!

It works fine with industrial overhaul, the recipe is just a bit expensive, the thing with assemblers is a vanilla related issue that has been present since 2015. I tried to make a modadjuster mod that altered the recipe to use copper wire and electromagnets instead of display and computers, for the pylons, but somehow that causes the models to stop loading, will have to look further into that.

I just want the grids to share power but be isolated in terms of "data" or "terminal" access so the issue with the vanilla assembler (used for some advanced parts in the IO production chain) is handled.

This also matches the todo list item: "Separate power transmission and power+data transmission. (The ability to only have power between grids without connecting them in the terminals.)"

I really, really like the power lines in this and would love to use them and I am going to use them once i figure out what I did wrong with the modadjuster xml

so when i connect the grids, you dont want to see everything? just the "local grid"? il look into that, as a config or setting possibly i can set up, i have to redo how toolbar works, hope to fix that when i get the new models implemented as thats where i can assign that in the code. also, this doesnt work with industrial overhaul? theres a few mods it doesnt work with, and i wish i knew why lol, this system should really only be by itself, but if found if its not priority loaded it breaks, but im not exactly sure why, if anyone else here codes or has ideas, id love the help with that.

Anyone running into problems today only? I've been running this mod on a save for a few weeks, but jsut today i'm trying to connect some tethers that are static grids, within 200 m of each other. left clicking a tether to a grid that highlights yellow, the cable just disappears. no message about distance being too great or any other messages. just disappears

Oh its listed in the todo and I somehow missed it after reading it several times over. I really hope this becomes a feature! It would make IO make so much more sense in general and make the assemblers less annoying to work with.

This mod is really cool but a thing I would wish was noted was that this system connects the grids fully, i.e if you pull up production tab or show inventory for all connected grids you get the inventory and production blocks of all connected grids. I was trying to solve a problem (caused by vanilla space engineers) that makes any assembler show up when you access the production tab no matter which production block you actually accessed which is really obnoxious when you play anything like Industrial Overhaul which implements an actual production chain. This mod doesnt work either :(

Hello there @Faolon,

I'm back to SE and still using this mode, obviously, but, I have to say, as @TuuvisVanKraun mentioned more or less, that there is no way to have both Large and Small grid in the same toolbar, or go through all of them with the mouse whell. It's a big headache to have 2 toolbars to have the same mod because one Small Grid direct access takes out the Large Grid one.

Mabye you could take a look into it?

Thanks so much for keeping this mod alive.
Greetings

i would definitely not be opposed, i havent had time to remake many models or get the lods made,

@Faolon, would you like support / contributions for more connection point models?

mmm, thats the new model, i havent finished that yet i dont believe, hopefully i can start soon, but been waiting for next update as more api changes.... again...

Whenever you try to attach a cable from the small grid charging station it seems that it wants to start the cable from the world's origin (cable comes from far away in the sky, not the charging station block), and if you try to connect it to another (large grid) charging station it just says "To far away", the conveyor hose connector does work tho.

you still can, you just have to connect the cable to a conveyorhoseconnector, its a block you have to put on the small grid now. if you search connector it should show up.

This mod USED TO be able to power small grids from large grids... Why was that removed????

i thought this mod allowed players to connect a large grid to a small grid, to power rovers for example

yes it does, sorry, i havent updated that yet, il update desc, thanks!

@Faolon just to confirm, this does work on multiplayer? The title implies it does, but under "current goals" it shows multiplayer release so I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

mmm, il look into this in next week or 2, the update must have changed some api stuff. happens in vanilla with just this mod? can send the log report on github?

My tethers are also disconnecting fairly often

my tethers keep randomly disconnecting out of nowhere

il try and set it up so its disabled by default, or have an option to turn it off,

All of the [INFO] messages in the logs are rather annoying. In my Daryabar star cluster they run dozens of pages as all Empire ships and stations use them. I love the error messages, just not so keen on all the info ones.

I tried using all three, I think a mod i have might be causing them to not work. What do you mean by hoseconnector block?

yeahh, socket station doesnt work, and it will be rmeoved, thought i disabled it, my bad, thesmall grid, you using a hoseconnector block?

Forgot to mention, i am in creative and that the socket station is also not working. It doesn't connect to large grids either, unless i connect it to a pylon.

Using this mod on an Ares at War world industrial overhaul is installed as well. Charging station is unable to connect to a small grid rover. *within 20m* Im able to grab the cable but there's not prompt to connect, nothing is even highlighting

Will the model be updated, the hit-box being a cube in the middle and also not be the Programmable Block welding stages.

they are not limited for performance reasons, ive had 0 issues with performance, was for survival, and kept that way when i took over, however, they can now be changed in the config file.

Are cable limits for performance reasons?

@grandadgaming
Are you trying to connect directly to functional blocks still, not using the connectors that it now requires?

Completely messed this up, used to work great on anything before the update, now cannot connect to any rover or ship to charge it :(

what do you mean ship is not able to connect? your making sure to use a pylon or a hoseconnector on the grid?

Pls update this mod. Ship is not avalaible to connect.

can you put the logs on the github please, so i can look at them, test going far away,

im also getting the power lines disconnecting when i move far away not sure why its on my dedicated server aswell
