I like it ! Fits for detail's obsession.

this is getting quite off-topic though lol

@Bob in that case, check out NSC2, one of the biggest mods for stellaris, and scroll down to near the bottom. under the yellow box labeled "having a problem with the mod?". these steps are often relisted with various other mods as well, and also the number 1 checklist for the modding discord. also the initial troubleshooting steps for hoi4. the problem isn't modders updating. the problem is that paradox games in particular always seem to have severe issues actually using the updates. I've had to wipe and reinstall my mods on numerous occasions, even with updates I myself made on my own system. game just wouldn't see them until I nuked the launcher.

again, paradox is just that bad with handling mods. point in case, both this mod and the map viewer mod wouldn't work until I resubbed. thankfully surviving mars doesn't have a launcher, so (hopefully) I don't have to deal with nuking the files to get the game to read it, but these issues are really nothing new

Never had an issue with Stellaris. Only when the game was patched or updated, but that's always the case with Mods. I pick Mod Authors that are on the ball, and have a good update history.:kopi::armchair::steamthumbsup:

> stellaris and hoi4
I don't play either :)
Ridesdragons 10 Sep, 2021 @ 7:06am 
no, I'm saying that even if you only use mods through the steam workshop it still bugs out. this happens all the time with paradox games specifically. doesn't matter if you're using built-in mod browsers or not. stellaris and hoi4 don't even have mod browsers, they rely entirely on the steam workshop. doesn't stop it from breaking in very odd ways. I'm not talking about takedowns
ChoGGi  [author] 10 Sep, 2021 @ 6:17am 
> oh, no, it happens with steam mods too. paradox is just that bad with handling mods.

Yes, that's what I said?
Paradox has an aggressive takedown policy, steam doesn't give a shit (almost).

On Steam, it usually happens with "Fly By Night" or "One Hit Wonders" Mod Authors. The more reputable authors, it doesn't happen in my experience, and I've been using the Workshop since it came out. Usually I check the authors rep, and number of Mods, and the frequency of updates before I use them. Been there, done that.
Ridesdragons 9 Sep, 2021 @ 8:08pm 
oh, no, it happens with steam mods too. paradox is just that bad with handling mods. I deal with it all the time with stellaris and hoi4 lol. but yea I do use steam over the in-game browser whenever possible
ChoGGi  [author] 9 Sep, 2021 @ 6:47pm 
That's a good sanity measure to take :)
🐾𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀💖 9 Sep, 2021 @ 6:36pm 
That's one reason why I don't do Paradox Mods. It's here or Nexus, for me.:mars::meteor_glitch::ne:
ChoGGi  [author] 9 Sep, 2021 @ 6:33pm 
> per usual for paradox mods

If you have a steam copy I wouldn't touch the mods on paradox (in-game browser), they'll disappear at the drop of a hat (thanks to their agreement with xbox).

Thanks ChoGGi,

Now I can listen to these while watching them get cleaned:

Working at the Car Wash Blues & Car Wash.

Just a trip down memory lane for us old guys like me.
Ridesdragons 9 Sep, 2021 @ 2:39am 
yep, resubbing fixed it. issue fixed for me, pipes don't have thousands of support beams anymore, thanks
Ridesdragons 9 Sep, 2021 @ 2:35am 
ah, was just about to report the pipe thing and see others have already done so. I'm guessing the reason I'm still getting the issue is because my version isn't updated to your version as per usual for paradox mods?
ChoGGi  [author] 8 Sep, 2021 @ 8:16pm 
Updated
ChoGGi  [author] 8 Sep, 2021 @ 7:54pm 
That's not a mod, it's from using a save game pre-update.

If you want to upload the save somewhere I'll see about taking a look (though they may update/fix it before then).

By the way, anyone can call colonists from earth? I can't even shutting off the mods...

is it some kind of bug from game or something?
AlphaWolf 8 Sep, 2021 @ 12:01am 
this mod is causing pipes disconnect
MjrHeadache 7 Sep, 2021 @ 10:43pm 
Done testing now myself. Isolated mods one by one. This mod is definitely causing my pipes to not connect.
Kai 7 Sep, 2021 @ 7:56pm 
I'd use it only because it's to clean my rovers from dust. And I still waiting a mod for cleanin pipes and cables.
🐾𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀💖 7 Sep, 2021 @ 6:06pm 
I remember when you first introduced it. I said to myself... "Now who would use this, and why?"

Then a voice came from beyond, and said... "You would, silly. It's a nice change of pace while your waiting for... whatever to happen?" :lunar2019grinningpig::lunar2019coolpig:
ChoGGi  [author] 7 Sep, 2021 @ 5:59pm 
yeah, it's a surprisingly popular mod
🐾𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀💖 7 Sep, 2021 @ 5:55pm 
I took me a while to figure out that it was such a small, and good Mod, that I've grown fond of, and that can do this kind of a glitch.
ChoGGi  [author] 7 Sep, 2021 @ 5:52pm 
yeah probably is from this :) I did some digging to make the pipes work with something that doesn't have pipe hookups
🐾𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀💖 7 Sep, 2021 @ 5:48pm 
I agree with Kai.

Don't ask me why, or how, but I've spent over 3 hours tracking a piping error, and I'm positive it's this Mod causing the errors in these pics.

With Martian Car Wash Mod Enabled #1. Starts off fine.

v0.6
It needs water now, just 1 though.
Added a warning msg to it when a dust storm is active.
maiden4meldin 6 Feb, 2019 @ 6:14pm 
Great mod. At first I didn't think it was working, cuzz my transports came out dirty right away again. So I rebuilt it, and tried again, same problem. Gave up on it for a while, then came back and my rides were all sparkly clean. Then a duststorm hit again, and they were all dusty again. lol. I had been trying to wash my rides in a duststorm. which is why they got all dirty right away. Love this mod, so much fun
~ArcanaVeil~ 20 Jan, 2019 @ 9:49am 
Perfect just what i need to wash my drones with
ChoGGi  [author] 21 Nov, 2018 @ 9:18pm 
v0.4
Added a marker to the middle when you demo it, so you have something easy to select.
It doesn't get dusty anymore.
Changes sprinkler colour while cleaning.
ChoGGi  [author] 21 Nov, 2018 @ 7:26pm 
Yeah, it's funky... you can only click on certain areas of it, no clue why :)
Rastro 21 Nov, 2018 @ 7:24pm 
I cannot even select it though.
But ok
ChoGGi  [author] 21 Nov, 2018 @ 6:44pm 
See the screenshot above you?
Rastro 21 Nov, 2018 @ 5:51pm 
I discovered an issue; when you destroy it, you cannot click on it, but anything you try to put in its place reads as blocking objects, and the outline of where it used to be is still there.
Rastro 21 Nov, 2018 @ 9:24am 
Electrical requirememt is eough. Anything water-based wouldnt work in a Martian atmosphere anyway. Vibrations or blowing works well enough.

Sorry. Nerd sense. Can't stop it sometimes.
ChoGGi  [author] 9 Oct, 2018 @ 11:53am 
Adding water isn't likely since the model has no pipe hookups.
ChoGGi  [author] 3 Oct, 2018 @ 5:13am 
Tried that when I first made it, I suppose I could take another shot.
Firely 3 Oct, 2018 @ 5:00am 
Very nice i was just looking for that!
If you can add a water consumption too for making a little bit real , like a 0.5 should be fine.
Anyway great job.

Nice touch for that little bit of extra immersion.:SpRad_ThumbsUp::HappyPCGuest:
ChoGGi  [author] 12 Jul, 2018 @ 8:12am 
Those are the ruins, you still need to demo them (for some reason you can only to select a corner of it, not sure why).

ChoGGi, fantastic mod, I love it. However, there seems to be a bug, when you delete the carwash from the map, for relocation for example, it leaves a triangle of "stains" that does not allow you to build over it.
ChoGGi  [author] 10 Jul, 2018 @ 12:55pm 
v0.2
Smoother dust removal instead of instant poof.

This mod need more upvotes, it's got what plants crave, rovers love it too!
