Oparose Welders (old)

IMPORTANT: this version of the mod is no longer supported as I have lost the original data I needed to update this mod. I have since uploaded a new version of the mod that includes additional oparose tools and much needed updated models vs what is seen here. I will be leaving this version of the mod up so as not to disrupt any builds that may be utilizing this mod still. However I encourage people to utilize the new version of the mod which can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2938416321


Lore: Designed to be the workhorse welders of the fleet, Phantom Elite Division partnered with Shendar and Hawk industries to create a welder that could weld larger patches of material at the time for the purpose of rapid repair and construction. These welders are employed as part of automatic repair systems to keep key systems running in the midst of battle against the space pirates. Oparose Welders are capable of welding much more at once, but are much bulkier and heavy than their counterparts due to the extra systems in the welder. These extra systems are needed to allow it to function in it's heavy duty capacity and to better keep track of its extra jobs while multi-tasking. Due to their ability to handle more jobs at once they are typically only seen as part of repair systems or at shipyards for initial construction when speed is key.

Notes: This thing is basically a welder with double the range on its head to allow it to weld things from a greater distance. i created this thing to be used in automatic repair systems that can better help keep turrets and other external blocks online without having to expose the welder head, allowing for a bit more protection than the standard welders will afford. While it has increased range, it comes at the cost of nearly double the weight of a standard welder and build time. Intended mainly for heavy building projects and rapid deployment projects where a standard ship based welder will take a very long time.

Current models available are Keen standard model and custom cosmetic variant. Custom Cosmetic Variant of the model has is meant to appear as though it has seen heavy service and the usual gloss around the conveyor port(s) has faded. I will touch this up in a future update as I wasn't able to get the other default conveyor port textures to work. I left the Keen model in for folks that prefer the standard Keen cosmetic. Another station only welder will be added in the future to this mod pack.


Balance of this welder subject to change.

Fixes: issue blocking access to rear conveyor port has been fixed
