[Discontinued]Rotor Variety

Description
Check this mod out: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1851669773&tscn=1567762043
As I'm writing this it is still WIP but it looks very promising.

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 some extra advanced rotors into the game.


Contents:

Small Grid:
>- 1x1x1 Small Advanced Rotor

Large and Small Grid:
>- 3x3x1 Broad Advanced Rotor
>- 3x3x1 Broad Advanced Hollow Rotor
>- 5x5x1 Wide Advanced Rotor
>- 5x5x1 Wide Advanced Hollow Rotor
>- 1x1x1 Cubic Bearing
>- 1x1x1 Bearing
>- 3x3x1 Broad Bearing
>- 5x5x1 Wide Bearing
>- 5x5x1 Wide Hollow Bearing

Bearings are rotors that rotate a head that goes through them.

Hollow Rotors are NOT airtight!
Neither is the Wide Hollow Bearing!
Making them airtight would cause more bugs than leaving them this way.

Some features different from vanilla:
If you add a Small Rotor Head to a Large Ship rotor (added by this mod), the small ship head will be as large as the large grid head, but it will have small grid mount points.

Some tips for the Hollow rotors:
As you know, there are no hollow blocks in space engineers (block-occupation-wise), so you cant build inside the hollow space, if the block is on the same grid as the rotor. But pistons can pass through it (if they arent inside the rotor block initially). Also, who knows what designs creative people (unlike me lol) might come up with.

Changes you can expect in the future:
(Not necessarily in this order.)
None ATM.

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!

Is there another mod that is similar to this as I have been wanting to make a rotating tunnel in a space station I'm planning and I'm not having much luck?

Is there no one, that want to maintain this mod?
It's functioning well still, but recently the small grid version isn't useable anymore, because there is a message that "you do not have unloked the small grid version of Broad Advanced Rotor yet!"

Hey Daniel "Nero" Drake, When I try to use this mod it works fine in SP world. But on dedicated server is disconnects me from the server once i try to place the block. Did you have this issue?

Yes, you can ;)

I have a ton of other mods installed in a world, meant to add this one to my game but forgot, and when I loaded in with it enabled and all other modded blocks had vanished
