is this mod still up dated? or is it classed as dead now

question, did the mod suddenly change so that some of the thrusters only have large grid options while the sloped thrusters have both grid sizes? because now the non-sloped thrusters only work on large grids, but I remember them working on small too.

So apparently when horizontal in gravity up thrusters do not work, but they work every other way. i do not know what is going on lol

Is this mod still viable. Having a hard time finding a working version of Rider's thrusters.

VSI Recolorable Thrusters<== I think.

have you tried using that change thruster colour mod?I cant remember its name but if you just look up a few of those key words it should come up

hey @SEModder4 could you make a version of this mod with orange (like hydrogen thrusters) color?
@Ced23Ric would you allow him to do so?

no worries :)

SEModder4,

Rider has since left Spongos modding, and so have I. Sorry.

@Rider,

Hey could you add me please I have a small request that would set my ship ablaze if you can please please? :D

HAIL CLANG!

FYI. Thrust values as tested at 20,000m ~0.3G

Small ship thruster = 100kN | 100,000N
Large ship thruster = 1MN | 1,000,000 N

1492: The problem is, I can, but there is hundreds of blocks here. Tell you what, I find out how to stack thrusters for the nw build system and then I'll get on that shit.

You can add other color variations of the flame? Please

fuck u, m8. Im stickin to the old, overpowered dampenerds version.
And fuck shields

Considering the recent devolution of comment quality, several entries have been deleted.

Recursion, recursion everywhere! Thx.

Done and done. I'll be fine without contributor, as this is literally a modified reupload of a modified reupload. Added a link into the description here.

Here it is.
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=699050815

P.S. Is everything fine, including copyrights?

Sure.

Thanks. All credit will be given to Rider & you, along with a link back to this modpage. Also, may I ask for cross-link? I.e. you will write somewhere in the description that there's a slighty fixed version with proper dampers, thrust types, ship sound system compatibility, and, maybe, a slight rebalance (if you approve, normal thruster component shall be replaced with custom component (Advanced Ion Engine Grid), alike vanilla, but more costlier, and a few computers shall be added too). So, at first, people will know that there's a fixed version, and at second, that will be a defense against lol-flaggers — if they see that the original mod links to my reupload, then it's obviously done with permission.

Feel free to reupload the mod to your own workshop, Cheetah.

Then, perhaps, we can go around it? I.e. you add me to authors, I make up a modinfo.sbmi file with your steamid and this mod's workshop id, upload it, test if everything is fine, then you remove me from authors. That might work.

Eh, it's more like someone else, as in, a player, thought he was defending Sektan's honor by flagging it. Steam's guzys on it take little effort to verify these things. It is a system that is easy to abuse.

And yeah. It would be 2 clicks, if I had the game installed, updated and my mod repository copied to my hard drive. I don't, though. :)

I understand. But still, I thought that giving you a complete mod, so you can reupload it with new dampeners in 2 clicks, will help to update this mod with damps. Or, I could ask your & Rider's permission to reupload, but I'm driven off this because of what happened to original mod, just because it was looking alike Sektan's mod some idiots at Steam management decided it a copy-paste/ripoff, and deleted it.

Much appreciated, Cheetah. I recently reinstalled my OS, and have never Spengies installed, nor my mod repository around. I know how to change the damps. I am just serious about my hiatus. Like, I really do not want to play or mod space engineers.

I saved you the hassle, Warbro.
{LINK REMOVED}Here are the patched thrusters with 1.00 dampening factor. I also updated them with some new Keens stuff.
All you have is to merge archive contents with your mod and reupload.

P.S. 100% tested.

One day, when Keen no longer blows up their game on a biweekly basis, I might come back from not playing or modding for this game, and then I might address the dampeners. Until then, I would like to point out my hiatus disclaimer.

Why do they have x10 dampening? Can we have an x1 dampening version?
P.S. As of 1.137, they don't have flames (all modded thrusters don't, btw).

Thank you for cutting it short ☺ since it dose I'm going to be adding it in my builds

Then I suggest reading the 3 line of the bullet point list of the first image of this mod, which is named "True Ions". I am sorry for your condition. Still, the answers are all there.

Or, to cut it short: Yes, they work in atmosphere and space.

100% in space.
30% in atmosphere.

Like vanilla ion thrusters.

Ced I have dyslexia I can only read up to a 4 grade level

@Warangel: It is literally right in the first image AND in the description. All you need to do is read.

Do these work in atmosphere and in space

@Ced23Ric nah, sry. i checked them in game. they are looking very similar in workshop's icons and screens but in game everything is ok.

XRay: Are you referring to the Sektan thrusters? Because, if you follow the history of these, you will notice that a) these models are entirely different b) the textures are different c) the code is different, as far as thruster code can go.

If you are referring to the Modular Thrusters by Rider, then you will realise that this is both approved by Rider and a variant reupload because people flagged his original work as a copy of Sektan's mod, despite the above mentioned.

Looks like another very similar mod with same block...

@ced23ric
ok thx didn't know they worked in both atomsphere and space

Stratos: Please use the original "Rider's Backup" from my workshop, which I also posted. It works in atmosphere/space, has full strength dampeners and is 5x power.

kris: I am not sure what you mean by that. It comes with all blocks the original mod by Rider came with.

mind if i use these thrusters i plan to change the stats so they can work in both atomsphere and space i'm also going to make them a bit overpowered

does this come with the version of the block were it slopes inwards

like the armor thrusters does?

So, these have quicker acceleration? Is there mod for these but just cosmetic?

Sounds good. We actually dropped mods from our servers moving forward. I just need to get the ships loaded for a showcase I am doing and then we are prety much done with them.

Aight.

But, yes. Another Keen update. I am shutting down my server for good and I am gonna stop modding. Mods will be provided as is and no longer be maintained.

I was using this mod after ours failed too, but I found the issue. The issue was with glass windows which just happened to be on the specific ships I was using. Coloring them, pasting some of them, and welding them are all causing game crashes. Thanks for checking with me though!

Oh wait, you are an SSA guy - aren't you using your own fork of this mod? You might want to check with your buddy there.

If you are using this version, please give me the error from the end of your SE log.

I can paste in anything except large ship with these thrusters and the 1 game I had saved with a large ship with them crashes when it loads.

Pasting in blueprints crashes the game. See the bug section for 1.109. Needs a Keen hotfix.

Not sure if it is just me, but the mod is crashing the game since the update today. Tried a few versions of it, but they all crash when a large ship blueprint with these thrusters gets pasted in. Small ships seemed ok.

It looks like the default <SlowdownFactor>1</SlowdownFactor> is 10 if you don't set it in the mod. This is a change in the game recently I believe. If you don't add that tag to the thruster they damp at 10x and it uses the old behavior.

You can fix it by adding <SlowdownFactor>1</SlowdownFactor> to each thrusters XML block.
