v2.0
Doesn't show max range for tribby construction site (causes issues, thanks Denniss).

This looks like your first post here, unless you meant elsewhere, in that case yep I forgot (or never got around to it).

Bump in case it was forgotten. In my recent game with this mod the scrubbers are built with max range and this is confirmed working (no maintenance for in-range buildings). After loading a save they default to standard range.

Awesome, let me know if you notice anything! I left the steps to reproduce below. Would be nice to know if it is the game and I'm not going crazy! :lunar2019crylaughingpig:

I'll double check and see

I use these mods and it seems to behave the way I like:
Construction Show Tribby Range:

(QoL) Triboelectric Scrubber defaults to max range:

I'm not using any other mods besides this one and Tidy Depots 2 since I feel it is a QoL, I disabled the other and it still does it. So I guess it is vanilla behaviour then? Very strange.
ChoGGi  [author] 20 Oct, 2022 @ 5:50pm 
This mod doesn't set the max range, it only shows it. I did have an option to set it, but it's... odd so I removed it.
Deadmano 20 Oct, 2022 @ 6:12am 
So not sure if this is related to this mod, or default game logic, but when I have the Triboelectric Scrubber selected it shows the max radius, I build it, but when I click on it it has the radius set to the max... So thinking nothing of it, I left it as such, until I got an alert a few hours later that I ran out of electronics... Baffled, I checked to see all the tribs were not covering each other, and their radius was the default half...

I then made a test, building a new Triboelectric Scrubber, again I see the radius set to max. I save the game, go to the main menu, load the save, and there it is... The range is set back to half. A minor annoyance in having to remember to toggle the range each time, but otherwise a much needed mod!

You're an angel, thanks very much! :)

v1.8
Show Max Drone Hub Radius: Toggle between 35/50 hexes (B&B DLC).
Alvenhar 27 Mar, 2022 @ 2:13pm 
Can we get an option to set the max range displayed for drone hubs back to 35 if we don't have the DLC that gives access to range extender? I'm having a hard time placing my drone hubs as it is always having to deduct from the shown range :)

v1.7
Shows maxed range for tribby when changed with ECM.
ChoGGi  [author] 21 Jan, 2022 @ 8:47pm 
Not sure why but if makes the range way too big for the construction site, so .... got me?
ChoGGi  [author] 20 Jan, 2022 @ 5:35pm 
:(
I'll take a look

Hmm, maybe I was hasty with my "works exactly as intended" statement. With Drone Hubs set to 50, it does indeed show 50 when in placement mode, but as soon as you place it (before it's constructed) it reverts to showing default 35 radius.
ChoGGi  [author] 16 Jan, 2022 @ 8:35pm 
I thought I posted a comment, but the ranges should be fixed now.
ChoGGi  [author] 16 Jan, 2022 @ 8:35pm 
I don't always change stuff in the same place each time, problem of doing it somewhere and not remembering when doing something with it somewhere else :(
SoftwareSimian 16 Jan, 2022 @ 8:15pm 
I also noticed that if I use ECM to change the range of Triboelectric Scrubber range to something different (e.g. 10 instead of 8) it still shows default 8 during construction mode.
SoftwareSimian 16 Jan, 2022 @ 1:49pm 
ChoGGi, thanks for the amazingly quick fix.
And for Drone Hubs it does work exactly as intended.
But it seems to have broken other buildings, like Metal Extractors: with this mod enabled they now don't show the blue deposit radius. Screenshots showing with this mod enabled and disabled:

^ That said, I never said it showed the drone hub range?

Updated
ChoGGi  [author] 16 Jan, 2022 @ 10:34am 
You don't think I test all my mods together do you? :)

I'll take a look (I don't use hardcoded values unless I need to).
SoftwareSimian 16 Jan, 2022 @ 9:01am 
This doesn't work well combined with your Drone Hub Range (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2474837548) mod. If I change the radius in Drone Hub Range to (for example) 50, this mod still shows 35 radius during placement, then sets it to 50 as soon as it's built. It should pull the radius from the modded value, not hardcoded, but if it has to be hardcoded it should at least be user-configurable.
ChoGGi  [author] 4 Apr, 2021 @ 10:58am 
Oh, that's odd... Updated
Thor 4 Apr, 2021 @ 3:13am 
ChoGGi sir, I might have found an issue with this mod. Enabling the second option (set max radius) somehow shorten the range of my 2nd core heat convector radius (the 1st core heat worked fine). I tried fixing it with the cheat mod but it didn't help. Only after disabling the 2nd option that the building radius got back to normal.
ChoGGi  [author] 17 Mar, 2021 @ 5:05pm 
I tend not to test my mods together :)
I'll add it
tiamat-86 17 Mar, 2021 @ 8:04am 
This is not showing the max range for your other mod the Triboelectric Sensor Tower.
ChoGGi  [author] 17 Sep, 2020 @ 6:50am 
Erm, not sure (I think I have too many mods).
optimusgd 17 Sep, 2020 @ 3:02am 
ChoGGi, may I ask, this mod include "Construction Show Tribby Range" and "Construction Show Heater Range" functionality? So I will not use those two if I using this one? Or I shall use those too instead of this one? What is "better"? Or all three mods are fine together?
ChoGGi  [author] 17 Dec, 2019 @ 7:44pm 
You can do it (well some of them) with ECM, I might get around to doing them in a standalone mod some day.
grz34998 17 Dec, 2019 @ 2:58pm 
Hi ChoGGi, do you know if you could do a mod that would allow us to set the default range for different buildings?

I know one exists, but it doesn't seem to have been updated in a while.
Vredefort 23 Oct, 2019 @ 11:31pm 
Nice! Working perfectly now thanks!
narv 23 Oct, 2019 @ 12:40am 
ChoGGi , thank you! :steamhappy:
ChoGGi  [author] 22 Oct, 2019 @ 9:06pm 
Fixed in 0.8
Vredefort 22 Oct, 2019 @ 5:38pm 
Hey FYI this one still isn't working after Evans for me even with the update you did on the 15th
🐾𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀💖 24 May, 2019 @ 12:27pm 
On this play-through, I'm not experiencing it. So I'll keep my fingers crossed. Last night, I un-installed your mod, and re-installed it again. Maybe that was the trick.:lunar2019grinningpig:
ChoGGi  [author] 24 May, 2019 @ 12:24pm 
Or another mod, hell could be this mod, I'll take a look.
🐾𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀💖 24 May, 2019 @ 12:23pm 
Thanks. I can assume it's a game bug of some sort.:thankyou:
ChoGGi  [author] 24 May, 2019 @ 12:22pm 
This only works when your placing buildings.
🐾𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀💖 24 May, 2019 @ 11:46am 
@ChoGGi,

I'll explain it better. The range doesn't turn off when you select the off button. It remains on. Or am I mistaken this for one of your other mod that shows range for Subsurface Heaters, and what-nots. Could simply be a game flaw, because it doesn't happen all the time on every game.

I started a new game, and the problem is not occurring, thus far.
igrgurina 24 May, 2019 @ 10:50am 
Can you expand this mod to make Triboelectric Scrubber be at max radiues when you build it?

Currently, it shows you max range while building, but then when you build it, you have to manually go and change radius to max.
ChoGGi  [author] 24 May, 2019 @ 10:19am 
This mod doesn't have anything to do with the actual objects, just the construction objects.

No idea, check your log for errors or upload it somewhere.
🐾𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀💖 24 May, 2019 @ 2:26am 
Hi ChoGGi,

I have noticed that some of my Subsurface Heaters & Drone Hubs won't turn off when select to Off mode. Could this be due to a recent patch:riddler: It worked fine prior to the 17th, and now it has a mind of its own.:lunar2019grinningpig:
maiden4meldin 5 Feb, 2019 @ 2:15am 
Yup I found it, and have it subscribed now. Thanks for all the hours of fun I will have with shiny domes!
ChoGGi  [author] 5 Feb, 2019 @ 12:51am 
This isn't a cheat mod, there are ones out there to extend the tribby range (ECM for one).
maiden4meldin 4 Feb, 2019 @ 11:07pm 
I love this mod, thanks for thinking it up. I use the T'bo's everywhere to cut the cost of maintenance down to almost nothing. I could only ask to extend the range to include the center of Medium Domes, the Diamond Dome, and the Mega Domes. Also the Mega Trigon Dome. At present the T'bo's cant reach the center of those buildings. Its like add two more hex spaces and it will reach I think.
