yeah this mod doesnt have collision box for that solar panel, its beyond my abilities to make them. so it default to the entire bounding box, i do have an idea to get one in though...

In fact, I see that the hitbox won't actually let me retract my solar grid. It's mounted on the roof of a small grid 6 wheeled rover and causes phantom forces when it's retracted to less than .5 meters.

Hi, thanks for your mod[s].

I'm having a problem with the 'small solar panel' in that it's collision box won't let me fold a MA Panel Hinge (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2342844754) completely shut such that two small solar panels are lying somewhat face to face.

I found 1x1 solar panel - it's not visually perfect nor so balanced, but the dimensions suit my needs.

yeah i too need one that small, i may get myself in the mood to do it...

Good, but still too big... I need an tiny solar panel ~10kW or less for "sentry tower" (1x2 or 2x2 small grid block or similar will be ideal)

ah ok, you may need to delete the file that steam uses to record the download status of mods, it will then redownload them all again, delete "appworkshop_244850.acf" from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop" assuming steam itself is installed on C drive.

I ran some test with some admins and the issue appears to be on my side, the admin said he was able to see it fully done. I just wanted to let you know and thank you for your help

Hello! thank you for making this mod, I really do enjoy it. Recently(roughly a day or two ago) I been having an issue with the mod. I weld the solars and it stops itself despite having the parts. I relog or restart and it shows the solars done. I reweld it and it dewelds back down to the missing parts. The server restarted and the issue persists. I broke them all down in the area then remade them in another and same issue.

its using the games vanilla textures so yes, new mods wont be DX9 unless they state it as the game dropped DX9 over a year ago :)

DX11?

its now fixed, its an error with referencing original game assets, ive had to include the model files for the original small grid solar panel to make this work, but its all fixed now, i tested the workjshop version after uploading :)

this doesnt happen with the offline version of the mod, i re-uploaded and its still broken, but the strange thing is, its not the resized one that is broken in the mod, only the original small grid version which is also being used for the large grid small panel, i will have to look into this further thanx for the info :)

The small Solar Panel has no Geometry. Only a pink cube is shown. (Tested on a dedicated Server)
