Wanted to mention that the "Gantry Slope Tip" model is slightly offset, makes my builds look jankier than they should

Best "scaffolding" mod out there. Thank you.

Please man. Do not abandon this work.
Include a T transponder.

Love this mod. I second the request for a T-conveyor.

@ Lance, could you create a T Conveyor and a 6 way conveyor. corner 2x1x1 etc..

Awesome to hear. No rush. Love this gantry model. What’s the difference on the 2 models. One is gs other is not.

Windows will likely be next. That said, I am not sure how long it will be. I am a coder, not a modeler, and I hate art projects. I only took this project because I like Gantry that much.

any chance we can get the windows, wheels, curved blocks.

Now all we need is some Gantry window panels and then will see what creativity sparks from that.

Do enjoy this mod for it gives hangars and other structures life without having to grind things down and not fight the Nanobot builder

@Lance: thanks a lot for your work. Really appreciated :-)

Slope base, slope tip, half slope, and curved conveyor tube added. I think I have had enough labor for my Labor Day weekend.

Thanks for this amazing mod.

Half block added. I will be working on the slope base and tip this weekend. Conveyor slope will follow, but I am not sure exactly when. My blender skills are still weak.

Just wanted to give a shout out. Tried this mod last night and ended up replacing all my unwelded light armor blocks supporting my windfarm. The gantry blocks look awesome and really fill a hole in the game's block set. Thanks for the hard work!

That kind of block was really missing in the came. Great Job!!!
maybe a half block version?

A conveyor corner, in the works, perhaps? Maybe ;)
Awesome work btw, and many thanks:)

Oh man, this is going to be awesome in designs. Nice way to get the gantry effect without the partially ground blocks always getting built up by build and repair systems.

Speak of the devil... I was looking for something like this today, couldn't find anything at all that satisfied me and then this shows up in most popular.

So the mats for a Gantry block still takes up significantly more volume than the mats for a Light Armor Block?

Is that a good idea? 102 liters vs 75 liters?

Man i love this mod!!! This is something the base game should have had. Since i discovered this mod i use it almost every large grid build. Thank for you making it.

This is a cool Mod and i love it! only thing i miss is convyer turn on this ;D

@Locksy: NICE! Makes it all worth the effort.

I had not considered the volume requirements. I traded a couple of large tubes for steel plates. This reduced the volume by 70L while slightly increasing integrity and decreasing ingot cost.

Drastically reducing the cost in Large Tubes might help? I think the cubic ones cost 3 Large Tubes, so reduce that to 1.

I really like the idea of this mod. But I do see a problem.
The items needed to craft 1 Light Armor block takes up 75L Volume, but the items for 1 Gantry block takes up 172L Volume.
Giving the effekt that fewer Gantry blocks then Light Armor blocks (that have higher integrity) can be crafted with what you can carry. It's the Large Steel Tubes that's the cullprit.
Sure the weight of the items for the Gantry block is less, but the game mainly limits volume.

Bruh, thanks for the conveyor version! It really ties the station together. https://streamable.com/i6pb3t

This mod should be absorbed into the game. Until then, this should be in everybody's mod list.

Inspired by a suggestion and a trade station I encountered the other day, I have added a conveyor gantry tube.

shiny! can't wait for those. will make my Sunless Skies stuff look really good then. cheers

I plan to add the slope base/tip and half block, but more complex shapes like the corners are a long way off. Round ones will be last.

any chance there will be the other block versions any time? the sloped and corner ones, and round ones? would love those for an idea i'm working on

It should not. It will kill mine if it does.

Will this affect on-going games?

Collision meshes and mirroring fixed!

Hello. I suggest you to come to Keen's official discord server, as it's the only reliable source for help and info on SE modding right now. SEUT and other tools authors are there, together with many other big modders, and they're happy to help. Me included, tho I also just started learning all this stuff.

I am working on the collisions. Turns out that I used an old set of modding tools which introduced other issues I did not notice. So, in addition to learning how to use Blender, I am learning how to use the new tools, in a "one step forward, two steps back" sort of way.

i dont know if this is how it should work, but the half block has the same collition as the cube

Yes, the gantry blocks use fewer iron ingots to construct than light armor blocks, and, like all blocks, they do conduct power.

Sorry for being a noob, are these actually cheaper to construct, in Iron Ingots, than the Light Armour blocks? And do they conduct electrical power?

Sounds good... looking forward to the update. For now I've replaced my corner gantry with stairs as to not confuse myself. :)

Made it public, thanks again Lance

Thank you.

@SultonMRP: I do not mind.

@FartyParty, @Simon Jeeha: Unfortunately, I have not fixed collision meshes or mirroring. I am a coder, not a modeler. :) That said, I will definitely be learning blender to continue improving the mod.

hey i noticed an error with mirroring not working correctly i dont want to bother you but maybe you can do somthing about that

nice

I noticed you can't run up the side of the corner
block. Does it use the same clipping as the whole block?

Wow, very nice. I have a request, mind if modify this, i want to make a version that works with graphene armor mod (using graphene parts for more durability) ill have it unlisted on workshop if ya don't want no one to use graphene version.

I might just ask the owner of the TYTO server to put these in. They look cool. and YES, its about time.

Thanks to Lance for updating my tired old mod and bringing it up to current spec. I did it initially because I was fed up with using unfinished blocks to get a look I liked..and then either having them too flimsy...or getting accidentally welded. So I made these....a long time ago! Lance approached me about an update...and I said 'go for it'! Nice to see my old stuff getting a new lease of life :)
