I cobbled together a fix for this
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3502183439

are there any plans to update this

@bearhiderug Not without the welding plate mod as well. Otherwise it would be unreasonably hard/impossible to completely merge ships.

this should just be base game..

All this just because Keen doesn't wanna add a connector with merge block functionality, aka temporarily fusing the grids AND allow conveyor connectivity.

Anyone could maybe take care of this mod? It is kinda most have/needed .!

fingers crossed this author comes back for a while with the new game update changing things up a bit.

Is there an alternative to this now that does the same thing?

So I tried this again recently and regular blocks don't unmerge...Am I missing something or has it broken?

I can imagine my cpu having trouble if I try to merge huge sections together, but I'm thinking of how the combination of hinges and improved block collision allow for clean vanilla doors, but they aren't airtight. With this and a smaller merge block you could make any door airtight.

Why hasn't this just been added to the game...

@Inspector Bonk, no, at least not by Cheetah

Any possibility this mod will get updated?

no shit sherlock, the mods been dead for 2 years

I can't see the script ingame

It doesn't work big_blue

has anyone tested this recently?

@KaveMan Preach it

this mod seriously should be in the game by default, aswell as a lot of others

Since every purchaser of this game all funding the development of Space Engineers (it's excatly what early access is), These kind of feature should be in the game by default, Keen Software House developers are incompetent, greedy and lazy. The community members has done more for this game than the game developers ever have.

god damnet this would have been perfect

still broken, that sucks :/ this mod is perfect for some of my builds

is this fixed?

The mod does not seem to work anymore, I'd love to use this for my ships because It's kind of annoying without it.

Hey there, it just seems to work like a normal merge block. Am I doing it wrong? It doesn't seem to add a block so I assumed it changed the vanilla one. I am trying to do saucer separation on an ent-d but when i turn off the two blocks in the neck, they just go red and the neck doesnt reseparate

to rename ships after split checkout https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=428599432

MY GOD PLEASE MAKE THIS WORK

PLEASE DOES THIS WORK

hey uhm how do i stop it from spamming my chat box when i build a ship with merges

whenever i try to load in my game. it gets stuck on the loading screen after the spinning cogs disappear. but it loads up just fine when i remove this mod from the list.

Your mod seams to like to forget from time to time where the different grids are and tears ships apart

still works?

there's a lot of stuff broken again in this new update. i'm just stickin with the prior version for now till keen fixes it.

Hey guys, is this mod still working? cause after the patch today, i'm not being able to unmerge stuff like before!

so how do i turn it on?

Thanks, fixed!

Have you tested with small-grid merge blocks?
Seems like the dictionary key-name for small-grid is 'MergeBlock02' and not 'detector_merge_1'. At least thats what I get when printing out the `dict.Keys` within OtherMerge get method.

good

No.

would it technically be possible to cut a ship in half that wasn't originally two pieces with this?

Fantastic mod, it's made docking between ships so much neater, thank you so much!
I don't know how feasible it is, but could this mod also rename the grids to their original names when they seperate? I suspect it might be harder (if not currently impossible) as not even Programmable blocks can do it.

I've been lamenting about this problem for months as i build my ship. thinking 'how am i gonna get it to seperate properly without going overboard with the design.' And this mod gives me the perfect solution. Thank you soooo much.
P.S. the ship i'm building is 1:1 scale Galaxy class ship, ST-TNG.
P.S.S. Also, all of the other shipbuilders out there who have had the same kind of trouble as i will More then likely be taking great advantage of this mod.

Why dont you just use offset force walls to stop depressurisation.
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=420351819

Yes! I can finnaly make detachable sections without some crazy configuration for blocks! You are awesome!

what if u had it on a door with timer after it depressurized it then separated few seconds after that

Currently impossible.

Does this prevent depressurization of the smaller grid?

Check box will be there, it just requires network syncing. Unfortunately I don't have enuff time.

This sounds like a really cool concept. Does it properly clean up it's junk data if you repeatedly dock different things together or remove merge blocks?

But I like my fancy non-merging docking rings with ramps! lol seriously, I dunno how you come up with this stuff cheetah!!
