[Discontinued]Compact Tools

Description
I'm not working on mods anymore!
I've put out this information on my page a while ago, but I'm still getting comments asking for updates.
More info here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/argual/

This mod adds the following blocks:

Large, Medium and Small Welders, Grinders and Drills.
Small Advanced Conveyors, Straight and Curved Tubes
Small Compact Piston and Rotor and Bearing(Sideways Rotor)

Large is 1x1x1 (Large Grid)
Medium is 3x3x3 (Small Grid)
Small is 1x1x1 (Small Grid)


What is an Advanced Conveyor you might ask? It is an expensive small conveyor that can transport large items.
The Advanced Conveyor is 1x3x3 and has 1 large and 9 small connection ports on opposite sides.
You MUST use advanced conveyors or compact pistons/rotors to connect small tools with your conveyor system.

Other info:
The tools might behave unexpectedly when used with other types in the same category (f.e. medium and small grinders, or vanilla large welder and large compact welder) as ship tools (the click-and-hold to turn on thing).

Sometimes they don't show up in the ship tools category, I can't change this, try to deal with it.

All in all, try to access and control them through settings rather than the automatic tool control the game provides.

If you have a problem (bug, etc):
Try going in your "%AppData%/Space Engineers/Mods" folder, and delete everything in it. That should make the game redownload the files next time you load a world with the mod. I can't deal with local problems, happening only to a handful of people. They are usually due to fault in the computer, game or mod files. The absolute first thing to do should not be asking to help, first try to figure out what could cause the issue.

Don't take this the wrong way, I'm just a bit tired of 5/10 bug reports being fixed by a simple redownload or game verification, and an additional 4 isn't even real, the user just misread something or forgot to add the mod.

TL;DR: When you find a problem, think, sit on it for 10 minutes at least, then act. Thanks!

This is nice way better than vanilla bulky ones.
Hope you change your mind to add more compact stuff.

I don't plan adding any new models. They have marginally smaller range, but almost the same radius. The micro tool radius is smaller of course, but still pretty large for its size and cost.

Any chance of a drill head model that looks like the longer drill part of the normal drills?

Did these have extended effect and range?

Added a small rotor and piston to use with the micro tools.

Well I can at least add the drill heads to the two sides of a corner drill, so it seems like it has three drill heads on it. Down, and it's two sides... As well as a ring around the sided, by placing them on the other drills in the aray. And of course, instead of using the large drills, can use the small container instead, and use soly these drill heads.

The game can not mix block types, so that is not possible. I'm happy you like it tho! :)

Well, doesn't have to be a container, since drills push materials to containers now. Could just be an 8 way conveyer type thing. But I think the container would be better, where the tool can be added to the current point of access..

Awesome! Some of this is just sort of what I was looking for. "Drills Heads on the other corners of large block drills or large block small containers..."

Although, what I was kind of looking for was sort of the "large block container, that has add (selectable tool part) in the control pannel, sort of like how the wheels and rotor heads can be added." It would also be nice for a small block version, Make a 4 way large connector medium container to simulate the large block storage container method...

But anyways, THANKS!!! I can now at least place tools on multiple corners, very handy for drilling. Possibly a grinder bomb...
