mmm, thats the new model, i havent finished that yet i dont believe, hopefully i can start soon, but been waiting for next update as more api changes.... again...

Whenever you try to attach a cable from the small grid charging station it seems that it wants to start the cable from the world's origin (cable comes from far away in the sky, not the charging station block), and if you try to connect it to another (large grid) charging station it just says "To far away", the conveyor hose connector does work tho.

you still can, you just have to connect the cable to a conveyorhoseconnector, its a block you have to put on the small grid now. if you search connector it should show up.

This mod USED TO be able to power small grids from large grids... Why was that removed????

i thought this mod allowed players to connect a large grid to a small grid, to power rovers for example

yes it does, sorry, i havent updated that yet, il update desc, thanks!

@Faolon just to confirm, this does work on multiplayer? The title implies it does, but under "current goals" it shows multiplayer release so I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

mmm, il look into this in next week or 2, the update must have changed some api stuff. happens in vanilla with just this mod? can send the log report on github?

My tethers are also disconnecting fairly often

my tethers keep randomly disconnecting out of nowhere

il try and set it up so its disabled by default, or have an option to turn it off,

All of the [INFO] messages in the logs are rather annoying. In my Daryabar star cluster they run dozens of pages as all Empire ships and stations use them. I love the error messages, just not so keen on all the info ones.

I tried using all three, I think a mod i have might be causing them to not work. What do you mean by hoseconnector block?

yeahh, socket station doesnt work, and it will be rmeoved, thought i disabled it, my bad, thesmall grid, you using a hoseconnector block?

Forgot to mention, i am in creative and that the socket station is also not working. It doesn't connect to large grids either, unless i connect it to a pylon.

Using this mod on an Ares at War world industrial overhaul is installed as well. Charging station is unable to connect to a small grid rover. *within 20m* Im able to grab the cable but there's not prompt to connect, nothing is even highlighting

Will the model be updated, the hit-box being a cube in the middle and also not be the Programmable Block welding stages.

they are not limited for performance reasons, ive had 0 issues with performance, was for survival, and kept that way when i took over, however, they can now be changed in the config file.

Are cable limits for performance reasons?

@grandadgaming
Are you trying to connect directly to functional blocks still, not using the connectors that it now requires?

Completely messed this up, used to work great on anything before the update, now cannot connect to any rover or ship to charge it :(

what do you mean ship is not able to connect? your making sure to use a pylon or a hoseconnector on the grid?

Pls update this mod. Ship is not avalaible to connect.

can you put the logs on the github please, so i can look at them, test going far away,

im also getting the power lines disconnecting when i move far away not sure why its on my dedicated server aswell

Fab mod, use it all the time! A lil suggestion, could you please implement a switch to disable seeing inventory through tethers? I play with friends and use production quota and it messes up when I connect a friends base/ship to assist with power, a simple switch, smth like "see inventory through tethers" on/off, thank you!

i would need the logs from you, and maybe the server? also curious if the server has it priority loaded, I still am unable to replicate any of these issues, a mods list could be handy as well.

Every time i go to far away from the towers, they disconnect. This is bad as; this mod's on a PVP server,,, my turrets are connected to these poles...... :pain:

is the mod priority loaded? and could you get me the log? and put it in github as a bug report, and il take a look, still working out kinks where i can.

Additionally, I noticed that after disconnecting the solar tower from the base and grinding down the blocks holding the hover, the moment I reconnected the cables to the base, I could access the solar tower from the vehicle in the same way.

I took a quick look at other comments and couldn’t find anything similar, though there might already be a solution. Anyway, I usually build my ships/hover connected to my base using armor blocks and then grind them down afterward. I have a base with a solar tower 1 km away, connected via tethers. This issue never happened before, and I’ve been using this mod for quite some time. However, after disconnecting a hover, I still have access to the solar tower in the control panel instead of the main base. Even more strangely, I’m still receiving power from the solar tower.

I’m using about 12 mods, but I believe this issue is related to this one specifically. To test, I placed transformers connected only to the base and disconnected the solar tower. When I checked the control panel, I could only see the pylons, not the rest of the main base. This mod is at the top of my mod list, and I’ll run more tests to confirm if it’s not being caused by something else.

nope, need to use the hoseconnector block to connect to small grid now.

Is there any way to connect directly to the battery?

yeah thanks found it by now ... would be easier with Mod category in build menu ;)

Currently to connect small grid you will need a conveyorhoseconnector,

how do I connect a cable to a small grid to charge it? ... can't get it to work?

il try and test those,

An idea that comes to mind is the Nanite Facility mod and Pipelines mod our MP server is using. Other than that i'm unsure of what mods could be in conflict.

fair enough, i havent had any issues or crashes ever due to the mod, but its very ahrd to test how it interacts with other mods since there are thousands, priority loading usually fixes most mods, i think weapon core had to originaly, im just unsure atm what other mods would change that would break the power poles, as they mainly only interact with grid grouping, and some interaction logic,

im still trying to find a way to have it isolated so no mods interfere with it, but im not sure its possible.

Sorry, I've already unloaded the mod due to frequent crashing. Next time I attempt to use it i'll grab the log to share- and no i was not using priority load, I had forgotten that was a thing and thought it was automatic... It's been a year or two since I've played space engineers lol

there is, but a message should pop up, is mod priority loaded? if so, can you put the log onto github?

Is there a maximum cable limit? Some of the powerline pillars disconnect their cables randomly on the system whenever it connects to another static grid.

that clumsy name is because i was lazy and kept forgetting to change it, til i get new modes fully in and new names/grouping
i do desperatly need to rewrite it, but i have tons of troubles at times becuase of my autism, things that make sense to me, make 0 sense to others, lol, il try to fix it,

BTW, this sounds like a really great way to get around the horrible finnickyness of docking connectors when you just want to recharge your rover. The other uses sound cool too but docking rovers is such a PITA that I'd given up on it.

I'm a bit confused by that first paragraph. Perhaps you could rewrite it to be more clear to someone who has never seen this project before? After reading it several times, I *think* it means:

Every grid needs a block to participate in these connections. Large grids use the pylons themselves, but small grids need a block called conveyorhoseconnector. That clumsy name is because we want to get rid of this requirement.

@Faolon priority... you mean this one loaded in the mod list before Industrial? I can do a test and send you the log

Best mod!

is it priority loaded? i am unable to get the same issue, if you can put the log onto github i can take a look.

Not sure if we're doing anything wrong, but is this compatible with Industrial Overhaul?

We created a mini-base with eolic generators, connected it with our base and the Industrial Overhaul blocks were not working and reporting no energy.

as well as a proper tab and names for all of the blocks
