if a exclamation is shown it either has missing requirements or a conflict
the machine can be bought in bridgepour (starting location) where you also buy the first buckets and such

Actually I don't see the machine because it says I need to reload the mod, but even when I do that it still has the ! on it. Are there known conflicts with other mods? I probably still need to know where to buy the machine, but have to get the mod running first. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

where is the machine I'm suppose to buy???

If the mod is not loading check the log files it should say what happined.
make sure you have the requirements installed and that no other mod is conflicting

how do i get it to load properly i'ved uninstall and reinstall but didnt work ive even tried to to reload the mods

@farmyz its been sold in the spawn area shop.
beside that in the main menu there should be a tickbox on the top if its loaded correctly.
if not the mod isnt loaded

I cant seem to find it in my game

@pizzaperson789 (first with get a mod to reload isnt a lot to work on)
Secondly u never need to reload a mod it loads on startup and on enable no need to reload it?

I cant get the mod to reload

Like stated there are mods that do that for dirt

But I was thinking of actually just making it so the entitities merge together to cause less lag

this mod basically does that but instead of merging it simply limits the max amount of a certain resource.
Merging does exist tho there is a a dirt mod that combines dirt to a special compressed dirt

I wish there was a mod that tries to fight lag, but instead of removing it, it just makes it so the things like resources do actually merge together, so theres less entities to cause lag etc

the mod is up2date with Hydroneer currently and there is a thing in the works for future update :)

do you plan for any updates after the new DLC?

on this current moment im very busy and have a lot to do however when i got time i dive into it as fast as i can :)

need uptade for corestone

Okay, hear me out on this silly idea: Pointless

Feature: Add a new button to the device.
Function: Plays an .ogg/.wav/.mp3 file that says "pointless" with an ominous echo.
Label: "Pointless"
Reason: Silly AND pointless. (and because i thought it was a funny idea)

That's it :P

its working as far as i know.
beside that its set at this speed for a reason. doing it quicker means more CPU required to execute beating the purpose of the mod

Will it be updated ? Also, if possible, can we be given a chance to set refresh time of this? as currently it's refreshing 2slow for me...

no problem Happy that it helped you ;)

Your mod was a life saver for me, my current saved game was totally unplayable until I ran your mod. I was away from my base and was getting severe lag and reloading the game was totally frozen upon startup, could not even get back to the main screen to remove the dirt and mineral chunks. Using your mod I was able to get it started again, without it my current save would have been lost. Thanks for creating this mod!

No problem guys :) happy to help.
Might support the veggies and farmables later on still awaiting SDK update

Come to think of it... I have realized that, the one thing this is missing is...



GOOGLY EYES!

Thank you! appreciate it :D

@DominusReaper Added the powershards :)

when i get back to modding on hydroneer i will take a look into it :)

Hey i dont know if i just didnt find it or if its not a thing but could you add shards to the list? i saw that its always the shards that fuck up my Drills an make the other resources get stuck so it would be nice to be able to just get rid of them or limit them so much that they dont really cause that anymore.

no problem :) every though is one :)

i get that, was just trying to help...

the mod is made to prevent lag.
an not spawn in more entities to move entities at once that cause the game to freeze :)

What if you make an invisible 'magnet on a stick' activate for just a milisecond near the ore, as if the player had done that.
Since the magnet causes the ore to move, this might be a possible solution.
Ans since it's only for milisecond, i should in theory cause no issues what so ever, aside from clearing up clogs.

hi there i tried that before.
Sadly since the resource is still fully loaded by the device there is a chance its invisible in the normal actor listings

For resources stuck on or between convayers, one possible option is to give the ore a small bit of movement/force along the patch of the nearest convayor, often times, the ore just needs to re-enter a state of movement and it'll be recognized by the convayor belt.

its a idea im already working out so stay tuned on that

Since you are doing a mod with resources is there a way you can make the resources clump together. Maybe if they are on the same placeable conveyor the combine into one ore keeping the same value. That would greatly reduce lag. If resources jam on a conveyor before dropping into a smelter it would help there also.

same here
the problem i found out when looking at the memory is that when it loads all the items in it also starts running the machines and such again so even when removing the minerals it keeps spawning more eventually locking the process

I gave this a shot too. Can't load the game file. Let it run for 10 minutes before killing it in task manager. Pretty sure this save file is lost. My relevant specs Ryzen 9 3900X, 64Gb DDR4 3600MHz, and a Gtx 1070

No problem thanks for trying :)

ah i can see the problem now
i cant do much about ur save however im reworking my Fixer to be preventive instead of fixing it after the fact sorry that i cannot be at much more help however im trying to get it to prevent the problem in the future ;)

Unfortunately that didn't seem to help so here's the save file: https://easyupload.io/wmoucg

Hey man i just pushed a update that lowers the trigger to 1 second aswell as trying to clean compressors.
give that one a shot. if it still fails to load u can send me the save file so i can take a look?
thanks :D

The game simply fails to load even with the latest public beta. It stopped working after a lot of iron ore built up on a stopped belt (thanks logic circuits) and when I opened the valve to restart the belts the game froze. I had to restart the pc and the game now gets stuck on the loading screen. I can send you my save file if this is of any help and grandmaMax has also asked me to send him a copy (which I will do when I find out how to do it). Let me know...

what didnt work so i can take a look?

Didn't fix it for me
