I published a copy of this mod with added scripting.
The grinder now returns 50% of original materials if barrels are attached.

@ErikV70

Feel free to further develop this if you'd like. Just give credit where it's due.

This is a great addition to the game. Any progress on returning resources?
Otherwise I might look into how to do that.

@olafoertelt

I just sub'd and tested this addon while playing on the Main Branch and had no issues. Which tells me you probably have a conflict with another mod or addon running along side this one.

However since you didn't tell me your *exact* problem I can't help you.

@olafoertelt

This addon works fine and *may* require you to switch to the Test Branch of the game.

Besides that why don't you tell me what problems you are having and I can help troubleshoot your issues.

Please times da Addon to the new version adapt!
Or take addon from the net!

-Updated-

Version 1.01 Alpha Ver 4 - Hotfix

See Change Notes

@big_blue_4101

I'll take a look when I get the chance.

it seems to conflict with 'resource cables(main branch)'. is it fixable or have you tried already?

@big_blue_4101

You have too many mods/addons enabled, a mod/addon is conflicting, or you have an outdated mod or addon. Try enabling just this mod and check to see if the grinder is still missing and let me know here. Then I'll take a look.

Why is the grinder shown in the pix not showing up in the 3d printer?

@Clarkinator

Unless someone was willing to finish it.. yeah.

That'd be a no then?

@Calensk Kerman

Right click the tool after opening your inventory screen and left click 'Discard'.

But what if you whant to recycle the recycle tool?

Does this put recycled materials into containers yet?

Thank you. I look for it tomorrow. :)

@Razor64

Also there are two different versions for the resource cables mod at least the one Marajin made. But without either active the recycle tools mod works fine so it would appear something in resource cables is overwritting something or like I said before they might just be incompatible with each other.

@Razor64

You could also try looking at the log files and see if there are any errors being thrown.

error.log, crash.log or console.log all found here:

<Drive Letter>:\Steam\userdata\<Your Steam ID>\244030\local

or

Default steam install location inside Program Files (Program Files(x86) / steam...)

@Razor64

I looked into this a little further and it would appear with both resource cables and recycle tools active the grinder doesn't show up in the list. There are a few reasons to this... 1. Resource cables doesn't seem to have proper UI_FILTERs entered as an 'unsorted' category shows up with both enabled. 2. resource cables and the grinder were both written from scratch using code Relterated wrote himself. So there may be sections where the same lines of code were entered but I can't confirm this. 3. Marajin took over development as Relterated removed it from his workshop but at the moment it needs updated and there is also a fix SyBozz made as there was a bug in the versions Marajin made. Not sure what that bug was as I don't use resource cables. 4. They might just be incompatible with each other.

i have 211 items in the printer. So, i guess, WITH the Grinder it would count up to 212... ADDONS are just the Ressources Cables and the Recycling Tools (included in the 200 count :)

@Razor64

Depends on how many mods or addons you currently have active. There is a limit on how many items will show up in the printer. The current limit is 128 filters and 1024 configs in the vanilla files of the game.

I have the tool in my printerlist, but not the big grinder... Is it a bug or am i looking at the wrong place?

@Frozzen

Indeed. It's in MP that the bug is most prevalent and as I stated below it's been addressed but hasn't been released to the main branch yet.

it just happened to me in Mutiplayer

@Frozzen

This is an issue with the vanilla side of the game itself. This issue has since been fixed in the test branch but hasn't been released to the main branch yet.

This is a screenshot of the changelog as of 05-02-17. The fix is listed under the 28th of April 2017 for the test branch. Below that is the Main branch releases.

went to make one of the recycle tools and it made 1000's of them

Thanks men ;)

Sadly this mod has entered a state of limbo. If you would like to know how you could help it's development please see the post below.

Looking forward to this addon when it recycles to resources.

@Supernerd

That version wasn't made by Relterated. I'm talking about Relterated's Resource Cables mod. Not the ones patched by Marajin.

Was posted today "Jan 27 @ 5:44am" so didn't think it would be outdated, stated specifically for the testing branch which I am using. Until the shredder actually converts to resources it doesn't really matter but was giving a heads up on it as release is approching for any updates when that occurs.

@Supernerd

In my honest opinion, I feel they should have left his mod alone and not go trying to "fix" it. Considering he will probably do so when he's online again.

@Supernerd

Again, Resource Cables is outdated. I wouldn't use it period not even the updated versions as Relterated wrote it using custom code. He also wrote the Grinder half of this mod using custom code. So if anything his code is conflicting as he needs to update the resource cables and then even the grinder in this mod if it needs it.

Also depending on which branch of the game your currently using... Main, Dev or Test can also have an effect on things.

Tried with the Pring 1000 items, also tried with only the two mods and same results. I tried again with the new version released today with the same results.

@Supernerd

This would be dependant on how many items you've got listed in the printer. There is a max cap of 256 after that things won't show up. You can use the "Print 1000 Items" mod to increase the cap.

Also the original Resource Cables mod is outdated and Relterated is at college and last I knew had some finals coming up.

Been having a strange problem with the grinder not showing up in the 3D Printer list if using Resource Cables, though it seems I'm the only one that is having the problem and get no errors.

@Doge

Can you reproduce the crash? Just incase it was a one-time thing. I tried myself and was able to delete the drops with no crash issue. Was this in a SP or MP game?

crash report, misclicked on an airdrop container, game crashed:

Tested update on power cable. Works great !
Is it bad that I like a clean Mars? :)

@FANTOZZI

Looking into this crash... I've been able to duplicate now.

FANTOZZI
Whe I use the recycle tool (manual one or the big machine) on the small oxygen bottle, game instantly crash :/ I tried to reycle stairs also and it was ok in that case.

Just FYI: crash if trying to use tool on power cables. (power cable not in use on the ground)

Why power it with fuel? Why not use electricity? Buggy is also electric you know, you can drive 500 meters before you drain the battery. I'm actually wishing someone would add fully electric solar powered vehicles, that only consume fuel when boosting, but anyway.

@Vas

That is what me and Relterated are working on. The grinder will 'grind' up objects and return an amount of resource into barrels attached to the sides. It will be powered from Oxygen and Methane like the buggy. Still a WIP though so stay tuned.

I'd actually like a 3D printer option or special device that you can put objects in to get back 30-60% of what they are made of. Like a dematerializer. Requiring tanks that it can output to connected just like the 3D printer requires tanks with the materials it can use.

Any chance you can add something like that to the game? Using the values within the 3D printer as a base to give back matrils, rounding to the nearest full number (32.7 iron would be 33 iron) with the ability to do only 1 item at a time, and it takes twice as long to deconstruct it than it takes the 3D printer to construct it.

oh, with the newest update, it's working... idk what the issue was... the problem was, that I couldn't place it in the tool slot ("Can't Move here"), but now it seems to be fixed.
Awesome Mod, man! Keep up the good work!

errr... Yeah. You place it into the tool slot and hit 'Q' to raise and lower it then hold down left mouse button and place it against whatever it is you want to get rid of.

@Mr. Monochrome [Hood Certified]

No, I don't use any other mods, that's the only one I use.
Maybe I didn't express myself quite right. I meant it's defined as an item that's unusable (i can't use it with my hands), i just can pick it up, put it in the inventory (but in the tool place), and put it away... but i can't use it like the construction tool.

I'm on the Test Branch myself and just ran a test I didn't see any huge blocks on my end.

@[FM-G] Lord Umpanz

Are you using any other mods or addons? Sounds like you've got a conflict.
