sigh, another NiteOwl pack, another auto sub. Thank you!

It seems like the max broadcast radii are missing a zero at the end, the vanilla antenna has a maximum radius of 50km, but the longest range antenna in this mod, the Multi-Band Comms Antenna, is only 14km. It really seems like it should be much longer range than that, 140km seems about right.

@TheRebornAce - The sbc code layout for the decor blocks were too similar to the functional versions which was causing a runtime error because they also use the same models. So basically the game would default to loading the first item placed and skip loading the 2nd. It worked just fine if you placed multiple functional or multiple decor blocks, just not the 2 versions together.

Update has been pushed with several fixes for the invisible issue and other small issues that I recently found. Please read the patch notes for troubleshooting if the fix doesn't auto resolve the invisible blocks.

Great! looking forward to the update. and for learning purposes as i am just getting into modding myself, what is the cause that makes one model appear and the other to not?

@MadMac392 & @TheRebornAce - I have found the issue and successfully resolved it, I'm working on getting all items updated and the fix published.

@MadMac392 & @TheRebornAce - Sorry for the delay, was 9n holiday. I will look into the issue and attempt to resolve it. Thanks for letting me know.

Can confirm, having the same issue as MadMac but with the Multi-Band Comm antenna. Not sure what is exactly causing the issue of the model going invisible but from my testing it seems you can't have the decor version and the working version exist in the same world at the same time. what ever is placed first will stay while the other will become invisible after world reload. I have never seen this kind of bug before...
