Not really sure why that would be happening, maybe something to do with mod editor. As long as it doesn't happen in an actual game I don't care :)

v2.3
Added lander rockets.

Just going to note that while placing a building in the editor, this mod caused log spam:
"Error calling Lua function "MouseEvent" from (path to mod)/Script.lua:253: attempt to compare number with nil"

Yeah, I've got a couple others that show stuff for blueprints (like the water vaps area).

I guess they figure it's only important once you build it?
Daemonjax 1 Nov, 2022 @ 7:51pm 
I agree this mod is superior to vanilla's implementation because it's visible for nearby blueprints.
ChoGGi  [author] 10 Jul, 2022 @ 5:38pm 
Yeah, blueprints usually get the shaft from the devs :)
Hate Bear 10 Jul, 2022 @ 4:42pm 
I honestly still like this implementation better than the base game because it works with blueprints and the base game does not.

Argh, yeah they faffed about with rockets, fixed it now.

Congratulations on this mod,
Since the last update the dust grid no longer appears around the rocket. I changed the color but it's the same. Before it worked fine! Thank you for your work. (traduction français)

Added mod option to change colour
Fallina 28 Jan, 2021 @ 1:40pm 
I have to agree. The red color, even at 100% opacity, makes it very difficult to see. I didn't think the mod was working until the sun started to set and some nearby rocks started casting a shadow, then the red finally showed up.
ChoGGi  [author] 8 Jan, 2021 @ 7:02am 
I'll add some colour thing.
SpeNSoR 8 Jan, 2021 @ 1:48am 
wonderful work, but you can change the color of the hexes. red on red merges

If my lib mod isn't enabled then this won't work. If it is enabled then you can send log to pastebin.com or email@choggi.org

within the construction screen there is no red boarder. the mod itself isn't active because it says something is missing or incompatiable dependencies. from what the mod screen shows, it only requires the ChoGGic library mod. i used this mod before 2020 with no issue and took a few months break.
ChoGGi  [author] 24 Sep, 2020 @ 4:28pm 
It's a red grid, sometimes hard to see?

I don't... but you made my day a lot easier, so I have this feeling to give you something in return :) Even if it is just for a drink. What do you mean by MSF?
ChoGGi  [author] 17 Apr, 2020 @ 8:23am 
I'm good, but if you got money burning a hole there's always MSF.
OmeyOcan 17 Apr, 2020 @ 8:21am 
Oh! I forgot about that! Thank you! You are great... I am very happy that people like you exist.

Is there any way I can support you?
ChoGGi  [author] 17 Apr, 2020 @ 8:14am 
There's no dust when landing on a pad
OmeyOcan 17 Apr, 2020 @ 7:35am 
Sorry if I am bothering you too much :D
OmeyOcan 17 Apr, 2020 @ 7:34am 
Hmmm... did you fixed it already? Because now I can see them on rockets, but I still can't see them on the rocket that landed on a "Landing Pad" :)

ChoGGi  [author] 17 Apr, 2020 @ 7:18am 
Fixed
ChoGGi  [author] 17 Apr, 2020 @ 6:57am 
huh, looks like I borked rockets.
OmeyOcan 17 Apr, 2020 @ 12:06am 
As far as I know, I enabled everything.

This is how I see the grid when I press 2:

I can see it on the building I am placing perfectly, but not on buildings that are already placed. Al the buildings that are already placed (like concrete extractor) show red grid, not white. All the rockets show no grid... not even this weird red one.

Mayb a stupid question, but have you enabled my library mod?
ChoGGi  [author] 3 Apr, 2020 @ 7:25pm 
Can you upload a log file of you loading a saved game?

OmeyOcan 3 Apr, 2020 @ 11:58am 
It does not work for me :( I have everything set on... Mod Options in Options shows perfectly but it does not work in game... even if I pres 2. So sad :(
Ser_Optimus 18 Jan, 2020 @ 2:23am 
Yes! Thanks for the update!
ChoGGi  [author] 16 Jan, 2020 @ 5:22pm 
yea, my lib mod is needed for these construct mods now that there's a keybind toggle.

randybeasterfield 16 Jan, 2020 @ 4:57pm 
it says I'm missing a dependency now
Meaford 15 Oct, 2019 @ 8:04pm 
If you say there shouldn't be any difference then I'm probably mistaken. It's working fine though. This is an essential mod for many of us and it's great to have it working again. Thanks.
ChoGGi  [author] 15 Oct, 2019 @ 7:55pm 
Shouldn't be? Any errors in your log?
Meaford 15 Oct, 2019 @ 7:17pm 
Is it my imagination or does it look/act a bit different than it used to? It's been a few weeks since I last played this game. Seems to work fine though.
ChoGGi  [author] 15 Oct, 2019 @ 4:48pm 
Should be fixed now, let me know if you have any other issues.
Vredefort 11 Oct, 2019 @ 5:15pm 
Well thanks a lot I really appreciate your work. It's top notch.
ChoGGi  [author] 10 Oct, 2019 @ 3:40pm 
They changed mod options around, it's probably that. I've got a few mods to update now :(
Vredefort 10 Oct, 2019 @ 1:14pm 
Great mod but stopped working for me after Evans update
Squashie 15 Jul, 2019 @ 4:33pm 
fixed! Thanks!
ChoGGi  [author] 13 Jul, 2019 @ 1:44pm 
That's because I don't use MCR, mod options are in Menu>Options>Mod Options.
I assume you enabled it in mod manager? Mind uploading your log somewhere?
Squashie 13 Jul, 2019 @ 1:42pm 
for some reason not working for me and not showing up in mod configurator
ChoGGi  [author] 28 Jun, 2019 @ 5:29am 
Hmm, some of the drone grid colours are off, but other than that they seem to be working okay?
ChoGGi  [author] 28 Jun, 2019 @ 12:50am 
dang, I'll take a look.
Black Raven 28 Jun, 2019 @ 12:33am 
Finally tested this morning, I can now confirm your "Construction Show Drone Grid" is the one breaking this mod, with drone grid disabled the dust grid woks again... For reference, I didn't removed the drone grid mod, only disabled it in the mod options.
ChoGGi  [author] 26 Jun, 2019 @ 11:23pm 
Yeah, I doubt it'll make any difference either, but I'm not sure what's up so :)
Black Raven 26 Jun, 2019 @ 11:19pm 
Not tried that yet, tho they haven't changed since it broke and they all your mods, will be tomorrow before i can test them tho.
