Of course a ship need an anchor! Excellent. Another system to add, another button to theoretically push, if I ever stop designing and actually play

Yay!

bunbot could you put up a code so someone can update it if your still off the game?

which is sad because i really love this concept in the game for energy saving

yeah its broken

Mmm, i think it's broken for me

Is there anything like this out there that is working? I would love to use this again

Will this allow for the new safe zone block to work?

heres a crash log for you https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/crfCcdgVKn/ not sure what broke

I just used it a couple weeks ago. Was there a new update?

With current Version it don´t show up in game

Oh mans, does this still work?

Have you considered dynamically changing power requirements to correspond with the grids block count?

I'll have a look when I can, but I haven't been able to actually work on it properly for a while (cause I'm not very good at updating mods when I stop playing games for a while)

i am also having the same bug as deimos.... can you update this

A smaller less efficient anchor block would be nice for smaller ships. the anchor is rather large. i like the size of the admin anchor, i can hide it.

admin anchor always incompleted...very strange bug

it works as advertised, but... i tried it out to solve the micro drifting (like when you move around with like 0.1 m/s driving you nuts sadly it does not solve that problem, only anchoring does, if it would solve that problem or you do not mind moving by yourself then go for it, works as advertised

does this function properly?

hi i have build the admin anchor and i can not jioning on the server raly buggi this mod

Use thrusters.

I will look into it sometime, however I have been busy with uni and so haven't found the time to update my mods.

admin 1x1x1 block for small grid

hey Gorea235
I was looking for a projector what can't move what so ever no extra power use,
I am a server admin and servers go down because people start to move with a projector on, and projecting a large ship while moving,
if you can make an over right to the vanilla block <so block limits still work>
so I can only build it on a station, and if the block is on the grid not able to turn into a ship?

i do need to work on this mod some more, but i've only just finished my exam that i had for uni. over the next few days, i will work on some updates to both this and the script.

It's basically an emergency brake, I was kinda looking forward to destruction lol

I will try to test this tonight and put a summary up here.

Copy / paste and then test lol ( I would but I'm unable to get on a computer for a few days

on that line, would it just rip the anchor off your ship, or would it rip your ship to shreds??

It has to charge up bit try it lol I was thinking the same thing let me know

so if i have a battle ship (mass=334m kg) with this anchor (state=off) on at and i am traveling at 100 m/s and then switch the anch on it would stop my ship in place?

Three words:
Zero
Point
Reactor

Im surprised It's not a thing already in-game; unlimited energy, masive material cost massive size (i.e. 25x25x25 on large grid), and massive mass (im thinking an order of a million(s)+ kg by itself) effectively restricts it to massive stations or planetary structures.

Is infinite power enough??

Or it's basically a super strong mass effect field generator that only affects ships and stations which increase their mass to an almost immovable sum. Only Geth or an AI with the processing power 16x EDI's would be able to produce such a field generator and it would require a silly high amount of power to achive functionality.

Missing blueprint something or other. Given you wanted it uncraftable, there's nothing for it. Working as intended.

OMG. A gravity anchor, like in Space Battleship Yamato (lol)

i needed something to make it not buildable and it fitted
(what errors, may I ask?)

Tracking down some errors showed me your component, it made me chuckle:

<Component Subtype="lol_you_cant_make_this" Count="1"/>

put the text 'charge_now' in the custom data (without quotes)

admin anchor not instant charge

I think you can jump INTO an atmosphere, assuming you have precise enough coordinates, but jumping out of one always seems cool

Reminds me of the escape from new caprica in BSG

On its way to 5 stars and just think, you didn't really aimed for this type of mod

Amazing, hope KSH will add this mod into the game.

needs to look like a real anchor then u can add a piston and then make a space pirate ship XD

well, that may be so, but the point i was making is that i wouldn't know how setting a ships natural gravity to 0 would affect jump drives if it's inside a gravity well. that mod is changing the jump drives themselves, not how ships interact with natural gravity

The ftl jump drive mod can allow jumps out and into gravity wells

for getting to orbit, i don't really know. i dont think the gravity well has been changed since planets were first introduced. however, for what thrusters you need, i wouldn't actually know. every since they allowed for it to be modded, i have always used speed mods since the default speed is too slow, meaning re-entry has always been difficult and exit hasn't been too bad.

as for jumping, if i could actually set the natural gravity being applied to a ship, i think jumping would be possible. which could either be really broken or absolutely amazing. although, i don't know if they use a simple distance check to the centre of the planet rather than if there is gravity, since it might be a lot easier.

for 3, I was wondering planets in general, I haven't tried flying in atmo for awhile now, and I'm trying to design a functional ship that can at least enter/exit orbit, but I don't remember if ships need hydrogen thrusters to exit gravity

I think the only need is outside natural gravity for a jump drive to work....so a ship in atmo with this mod should theoretically be able to jump in or out

prbeeney -
1 - yes, i dont actually mess with jump drives, so they would still work. i can add in the option to force them disabled on grids that contain a space anchor if you think it would benefit the mod.
2 - i genuinely don't know that, if i actually made a mod that properly cancels out gravity, it would enable jumping. there would still be atmosphere, and i don't know how that interacts with jump drives
3 - i haven't modified gravity wells with this mod, i don't even know if i could and it's not needed.

This looks really cool for small repair and refit outpost and stuff where the ships that are docking might be equal in mass or larger than the station. With this the ship can't move the station around by accident. Think the Pirates on my current server could make use of this if we were using mods since they have been jumping there intire shipyard when they decide to move on.
