Load this mod as first in mod order, and it still shows 10 instead of 100

I am hosting my server and after downloading the mod, the propane torch still shows 8/10. Is there something I missed? I am new to the whole mod scene and feedback would be appreciated. - Saint_Demons

Of course, glad you are able to use it!

Thank you SO much for this mod. Having to run back to my vehicle to refill the torch every five minutes was quite annoying.

I added it on a new fresh save but they still are at 10 :(

@Balckash thanks! Appreciate the kind words

@krytoiartemiy they're not going to fix it, the name is kind of misleading - the change to 10 was intentional.
feerver4ik 23 Jan @ 11:38am 
was this fixed in new update?
Balckash 23 Jan @ 9:31am 
Thanks for your work, years go by and this mod does not leave my list
Drazion  [author] 23 Jan @ 3:22am 
So to answer the last couple of questions, it didn't empty your torches, it doesn't have any code in there to do that. The only way that happens if you're running more mods in addition to this one that is conflicting and are both attempting to modify the torch in some way. that said, it will not change the use delta on torches you've picked up until you go to refill them, however.

You can disable the mod mid-game and nothing will happen beyond getting reverted back to your original use delta of 10 charges per torch for any new torches you pickup. The old ones will still have the increased capacity until you refill them.

If you see the override but it's not working check your other mods installed, as I just re-tested it this morning on B42 and it changed the capacity to 100/2 for a recipe to cut 4 small metal sheets from one steel sheet.
Domeng 23 Jan @ 3:03am 
I added the mod mid-game and apparently it didn't work or increase the capacity, i can see the word "mod 41.78+ propane torch fix" below the propane torch but it wont work even from empty refilled and still can't....
Terraner 22 Jan @ 12:50am 
your mod has empty all my weldings!
MightyOlek 21 Jan @ 4:31am 
Is it safe to disable the mod mid-game?
Drazion  [author] 17 Jan @ 7:10am 
It does work in 42, check to make sure it's added to your save and you've not included any mods that also modify the torch
Dont work in 42. I refield only one time an after that option to refiel dissapiered from menu.
Codingale 12 Jan @ 5:58am 
Q: Why is vanilla 10?! Bug?!
A: They used to have the charges at 100, however they lowered it down to be 10 and with it lowered the required amount from recipes. However, Mod developers didn't update their stuff so some crafting was asking for more than 10 fuel, which was now impossible to do thus this mod is mainly for devs that abandoned their mod or people who aren't aware they did that, I saw a new mod come out that required 25 after the change and the creator was completely unaware it had been done.
Kenpa 9 Jan @ 10:39pm 
Man, they still kept the torch at 10? This makes your mod God-Tier. Thank you.
Dr. Death 9 Jan @ 12:08pm 
Im surprised that even in build42 the propane torch still only holds 10. Is it a bug at this point or just weird balancing from the devs?
vsnegupal 8 Jan @ 7:40am 
@Kentucky resident there is a button
Slay_it 3 Jan @ 11:30pm 
mod was working, my issue was that all my torches had 10/100 after the mod, so it seems you need to find new spawns for them to be full.
Kentucky resident 3 Jan @ 1:26pm 
How do i add this mod to a pre existing save?
Drazion  [author] 3 Jan @ 11:19am 
No, but you have to add it to your save
Slay_it 3 Jan @ 6:28am 
does it require new game?
Drazion  [author] 25 Dec, 2024 @ 3:23am 
@hoshie Not sure on that one, just loaded it up this morning and gave it a shot. Removed my local workshop files and subbed to the mod and it still showed up in B42 for me. I assume since you're talking about a patch you're on unstable. If you're trying to add it mid-save you do have to modify the mods for your save game and not in the main menu mods list.
hoshie 25 Dec, 2024 @ 3:03am 
i tried everything. UnSub the Mod. Sub the Mod. Checked the Steam Workshop folder it's there. BUT it doesn't show up ingame in the mod selection list. It is also not mentioned/loaded in the console.txt file while all other mods show up there. Maybe something was broken with the last patch for PZ.
Rocky Jet 22 Dec, 2024 @ 3:23pm 
Thank you!
Drazion  [author] 19 Dec, 2024 @ 5:43am 
@Ryan doesn't really fix any bugs, just changes the usedelta (or amount used per unit required) to make the torch able to be used more before it runs out. Essentially increasing the capacity for in-game terms I guess is the way to put it.

@Bitbyte - Thanks! happy to be of service!
Ryan 19 Dec, 2024 @ 5:26am 
@Drazion Does it fix bug occured by something to lower the tank or is it that 10 is default value and this just increases the capacity?
Bitbyte 18 Dec, 2024 @ 3:03am 
Legend, updated for B42 in less than a day

Света Шумовая 12 Dec, 2024 @ 7:41pm

Sudo 8 Dec, 2024 @ 3:06pm 
@楓葉星光 Building Menu already has an option to set propane torch uses, it's mentioned on the mod page
楓葉星光 7 Dec, 2024 @ 7:26pm 
This mod conflicts with "Building Menu [B41.78]":steamsad:
BEASTY(◕‿◕) 13 Nov, 2024 @ 4:34am 
i'm using mod Fix "BlowTorch & PropaneTank" and in works better with other mods
Huberioo 2 Nov, 2024 @ 3:35am 
I have a full propane torch and 2 gas tanks why cant i dismantle cars it says 10/25 when i have my propane torch full wth how to fix this?
Sarv9208 19 Oct, 2024 @ 12:56pm 
We need a list of incompatibilities, I created a new game with low loot, something I had already done, the only different thing was to activate legurmet and only this mod, the torch has 10 uses again, but I never know exactly which mod deactivates it and if I have 2, 10 or 100 it is complicated to verify each one and more in a long game with super low loot
Drazion  [author] 15 Oct, 2024 @ 12:57pm 
@Rokko probably not my friend, I made this mod back when all the metalworking mods were broken due to the change. Since then it's kinda morphed into a QoL for propane uses.

There are several mods out there that modify the same code/functionality and many do really cool stuff other than just change the uses. I don't have any plans to expand on functionality or work around those other mods with this one. But I do appreciate the concern and am thankful for all those that have used it over the years!
Rokko 15 Oct, 2024 @ 8:07am 
Darazion, Codex already pointed out 'one' conflict.
so chances are theres a conflict with every other mod that uses the same lines as that one.
the amount of quality mods in the workshop growing daily and your mod not being updated since 2022, the amount of incompatibilities will just grow..
hope you look into it sometime
Drazion  [author] 15 Oct, 2024 @ 1:23am 
@Rokko There must be another mod that is messing with capacity if it's reverting back, I haven't updated this mod since 2022, and so far as I can tell on the servers I've run off and on since then it still works when not in conflict with anything else.
Rokko 14 Oct, 2024 @ 5:13pm 
you are welcome, Mute !!
wait..what for...
Mute 14 Oct, 2024 @ 12:12am 
thanks Rokko :3
Rokko 13 Oct, 2024 @ 12:05am 
Codex, personally, i am not using Building Menu. i double checked to make sure.
and this mod is last in the load order
Codex 12 Oct, 2024 @ 11:22pm 
As stated in the description, if you're using 'Building Menu' by El1oN, it will overwrite this mod and revert the blowtorch's capacity back to 10.

Not stated in the description however is that the Sandbox options for Building Menu lets you change the capacity back to 100, as well as other lower values if you think it's too strong. This mod can be safely replaced unless you're looking for this change as a standalone.
