Ok, I found out with the Build Info mod why these are not working properly. The first problem is that the lock area covers only half the center block's area instead of the whole surface. The second problem is that the lock area is a third of the thickness of the landing gear's lock area for both sizes, which means the small block pad's lock area is so thin that it can't detect anything.
For the record I compared them to the vanilla landing with no mods that modify them.

Large one works fine, it's the small one that won't lock at all.

any updates? Is this working?

Hey, this mod looks amazing, but in the 6+ months i've had it, i have never got it to work. Right now i have the large pad on top of my ship and nothing will lock, not even a light armor block

I wonder if you could add a version with a longer lock on range to help with building in a gravity environment? I find building on a planet to be the biggest pain in the arse ever because I accidentally knock over or delete the block holding the whole thing up right. If I could place something like this on the floor, then place my first block about one large block's hight above it, and the platform holds it still so I can build off of it, that'd be just grand. :)

....what? I made this myself? It's not a copy of any other mod. I still have the blender files. As far as the code I literally use the vanilla definitions for Keen's landing gear but modified them to match the size.

Works (fresh world, only this mod active). Textures are fine and they lock. Well done :)

Ok so I think i might have them fixed. Maybe

is it one-sided?

I'm aware of the pink textures. I haven't been able to fix them for whatever reason

broken texture.

so its a big landing gear?

the Texture is pink

Awesome! I've definately gotta try using this this.

It's very cool !!!

yeah it is pink

awesome concept, maybe a 1x1 that we can use for internals like hangar bays?

This isnt a really big problem but when i have the Energy Shields by [XpL] Cython and attached a small drone to the magnetic landing pad it kept dealing damage to the sheild, but it was a very small amount

Still pink for me, tried unsubbing\booting game\closing game\re-subbing and starting a new empty world with just the pad mod.

Can you do 1x1x1 solid block version?

I redid the textures. Hopefully they're fixed.

..no edit button... why steam... Anyways, if you need any info from my end to troubleshoot just give a shout mate.

+1 for pink pads, figured I'd give them a quick test.
Ran the mod by itself to rule out mod interference. I have a couple of other mods that also turn up pink when placed\built, never did understand what in SE breaks their textures.. :\

Hi, i love the idea, but here too, its pink :)

They work on my end. Anyone else having issues.

Are these DX11 because in my game there pink?

NEAT, but do they work? There's been a lot of issues with landing pads lately. I dunno if its only small-grid pads, or what.
