@Yatta - Albino Thanks for the notification. I just saw the news in Discord about this change, talk about convenient timing haha. I've added a note to the top of the description mentioning they will no longer be able to connect as of 1.204.

Btw, thanks for the timely updated Kham, and thanks for this mod :)

PSA: You MUST use Kham's new version.

Today's SE update (1.204 "Signal") breaks something with non-axis aligned connectors - at least the 1x1x1 connector of this mod doesnt work anymore.

Kham's new version already fixes the connector axis which solves the issue.

New version has been released, it's also available on mod.io
Steam https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3234504316
Mod.io https://mod.io/g/spaceengineers/m/connectors-collectors-v2

This version has been marked as OLD and has had an 'OLD' tag added to all icons to make them easier to identify since they look physically identical.

Yeah that's the way I'm leaning too. I think it'd make more sense, I can mark this mod as obsolete and link to the newer version and people can load both up to replace them and then remove the old version if they want.
It'll take me a few days probably to get them all sorted out but I'll post here again once it's up.

In my opinion a seperat fixed version would be the way to go.
So everyone is able to switch by its own

So I have been able to replicate the issue and it actually affects all of the blocks.

It's related to the model orientation and sadly I maintained the orientation of the blocks in the original mod when I made this so it could be switched out for the original without breaking any builds but now it means all of them will need to be rotated 90 degrees to fix this issue.

Of course, this means it will break all existing builds which use these which is far from ideal but it's the only way I can find to fix it.

I'm trying to weigh up whether to release the 'fix' as a separate mod so people can manually switch over their connectors or whether to just update this mod and break any existing connector placements.

Hey, great !!!
It is the conveyored connector, maybe the armored too because it seems to be the same block just without conveyor ports

I'll try to take a look and see if I can replicate it. Is it a specific block it's happening with?

@MDManiac

Same here, ejecting ends with clang and sometimes a game crash (sound bug)
Sometimes the rocks spawn behind the block...

If someone have the model I could edit it to prevent the error

I can't find this block's, where i can to find them?

I recently had issues with the 1x1x1 connector with conveyor ports... It stopped making a connection for my piping. I also have seen my ships move away from the connector, but still show connect. They actually float away and damage the hangar.

I had a problem with these connectors not properly working as ejectors. Stone would "get stuck" in some kind of limbo, causing random Clang effects. Anyone else had this issue?

Hello, I want to use this mod on my server, it is allowed?

@Ziku Well written!

Great collection of alternate blocks, apart from the increased functionality you have added some more aesthetics to the game. Well done mate.

Dear author :) I love your mod, and have been using it all the time till one day when I've started using 'docking computer' mod. What's the problem? Alignment. While vanilla connectors having 'forward' axis toward outside (like facing ship you'll be connecting to), your connectors have "up" axis facing outside. Problem is with autodocking script using these axes for ship alignment and, as you can imagine, whole proces ends very bad ;) I'd be happy if you could realign your docking ports as they are in vanilla. Best regards!

I have constantly used this in all my ships large and small. Thank you!

@anzellott The normal 1x1x1 is 212.8Kg and the armoured versions are 364.8Kg.

What Is The Weight of The 1x1x1 Small Connector?

Well, you could make a collector block with collectors on 3 sides and conveyors on 3 sides. Each makes a "C" around the cube.

Conveyor armored please

Is it possible to reupload to mod.io ?

@Syphond I don't currently have any plans to add to the mod but it still functions completely and if that ever changes I will update it.

@David "TheDave" Eastwick yes the mod still functions completely. It hasn't updated because Keen haven't changed anything about connector blocks in that time.

@Kham, are you still maintaining this mod?

Was looking for a 1x1 connector for piping hydrogen into a rover, this looks perfect but does it still work? I see it was last updated august 2020

Is it possible to make a connector with a built-in camera for easy docking?

@kham Nice blocks! Can you add a flat connector variant (large and small grid) that sit flush against 1x1 blocks for easy conveyor access and docking? That would be a wonderful addition. Thanks!

Would there be a way to just get the small grid 1x1 connector from this mod without all the other blocks?

@Kham Ahh, yes, good point - breaking anyone's build wouldn't be something I'd want. XD I did take a look at modifying them, myself, and learned that it would be an issue unless you had the original models. i.e. - you can't take the SE models and just edit them for your own purposes.

Either way, yes - it looks like he did come back with a solution. I figured that would be the easiest route, anyway, so I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for the reply!

I see Spug already gave a couple of suggestions on where to edit the script to get it functioning with these so I hope you have some luck with it. If I hadn't built this mod to replace an older defunct mod (thus I needed to copy his original orientations) I may have used the same orientation as the vanilla connector but to be honest it's not something I would have probably even considered because model orientation doesn't matter in 99% of cases.

@Professor Falken Sadly, changing the orientation isn't really a "simple" thing to do as if I change the block orientation then it would break any builds people have which already have these blocks in place. Not sure which script you're using but I'll assume it's Spug's, might be an idea to ask if he could add an optional setting to adjust the rotation of the connector to allow for modded connectors not having the same orientation as vanilla blocks.

Hi, @Kham. Love the connectors! Great for my army of tiny drones, and hell, for simply being able to dock smaller vehicles to recharge. (Well known fact - there are no power cords in 2077)

One issue I ran into when replacing a vanilla connector with the 3x3x1 small grid connector is that when using it with an auto-landing script, I end up spinning out and crashing. Upon taking a look, it appears that the models in this pack have the connector port oriented on the top, whereas the vanilla models have them oriented in the front. (You'll see what I mean when placing these with Ctrl-+ to show orientation.)

So if you were coding a script for auto docking with connectors, and need the orientation of the connection point, you'll get the wrong side of the block. Any chance the models can be updated with a simple 90 degree rotation forward? For example in the first image for this mod, if the connectors were rotated 90 degrees toward the camera.

yeah no problem man. agreed very strange and random, ive found a couple odd issues like that recently =P

@Death666Machine Thanks for letting me know you figured it out man! That's such a random thing I wouldn't have thought of that haha.

Hey just an update, figured out the issue I was having is related to MES mod specifically the weapon replacer

Same here looking for slim connectors cant find any :(

Just found this mod, I love it! Been dying for new connectors for a while, the old mods are all broken. Any chance you could revive the old DK Slim Connectors/make a new slim profile connector in your style? That's an old favorite I'd love to see back in action.

Yeah I've come to the same conclusion

@Death666Machine I tested your respawn ship in vanilla and on a Torch server and was able to respawn in it without any crashes.
Obviously I didn't have any of the other mods you use but I did have this mod enabled and the connector was there on the back of the pod without any issues.
I can't confirm if it's your respawn file at fault, or another mod you use, or an issue with a plugin for Torch which you may be using but this mod doesn't seem to be causing the problem on it's own.

I did have to remove the <PlanetTypes> section from the .sbc file, since I didn't have that planet to test with. I wouldn't have thought that'd cause any issues though. I think you will have to seek help from the Torch team's Discord I'm afraid as the problem is not occurring in any way with just this mod so it's an issue on their end or another mod/Torch plugin you are using.

still haven't managed to figure out why I can't get this to work =P

Sorry forgot to respond heres the one that is crashing with the connectors

There's not, but I can take a look at adding a version of it for small grid.

Is there a small version of the 2x1 centered connector (like the one in first pic in the middle and on the left) in this?

@Death666Machine do you happen to have a link to the respawn ship mod with these connectors in place that I could check out? I haven't made any custom respawn ship mods but I have heard of numerous people talking about them causing crashes over the years, might be something fixable?
Though there may be someone in the Torch Discord with more experience of custom respawn ships. :)

Also I have them placed on a respawn ship. When I select that respawn option it makes the server crash. If I figure out whats going on with it I'll let you know.

Sounds good man, I'll see what I can dig up. Thanksfor looking into it =D

@Death666Machine So I've just installed and setup a Torch server to test the mod with and I'm not getting any crashes with the mod installed. I've placed all of the blocks from the mod, connected and disconnected them from each other, moved out of render distance and back again. I'm not sure what's causing your crash but this mod alone on Torch doesn't seem to be causing any problems.
You'll have to ask the Torch team as it could be related to a Torch plugin you might be using or something. They do have a support Discord which is probably the best place to ask.
If you do find out what's causing it I'd be curious to know in case anyone else reports the same issue.

@Death666Machine Thanks for getting back to me. So I'm guessing that means you're still getting a crash in Torch?
Is it a dedicated server crashing or a client crashing?
Is the crash happening when the block is placed, or when it's accessed, or when the connectors lock?
Could you possibly upload the full log to something like https://pastebin.pl/ and link it here so I can forward it to the Torch team? Since it's not causing a crash in vanilla it's something I'd have to try and contact them about.
