Heres a fix for the engine room problem. You have to modify this file tess_antigrav.rules and change line 30 from [Engine] to [Engine, EnginePowerDistribution]. Save the file and voila. I opened the files using notepad++. You can find the file at the following path: steamapps\workshop\content\799600\2890714397\tess_antigrav

I hope this mod gets fixed, its really good

Oddly enough they work fine with my Engineering Bay? O_O

Tesseract works, but when vanilla engineering room is placed next to it, they no longer draw power from it.
I've noticed this happens when engineering room is placed after the thrusters.

seems to be broken as of the most recent update
Zenethian 29 Mar, 2024 @ 5:33pm 
Does this have to be on an exterior edge of the ship or can it be anywhere?

thank you! @williesea

@aliser - Sure, done.

@WillieSea hello!

I've made a Russian translation mod link , would you be able to leave a link to it in the description?
WillieSea  [author] 23 Aug, 2023 @ 6:10am 
I fixed the mod, seems there was some old code that I missed removing. It should work now.
tatsu.s 22 Aug, 2023 @ 11:09pm 
just coming here to say same as domo_hu, game is crashing when loading with this mod enabled
domo_inu 22 Aug, 2023 @ 11:06pm 
Recent update is throwing errors on load for me have had to disable ill send over a log
Pelgerin 22 Aug, 2023 @ 11:58am 
The other problem with small ships is that they have very little rotational inertia, so powerful thrusters tend to set them spinning too easily. The vanilla engines have this problem too. I think it's mainly a problem with the vanilla controls. If there's a way to solve that with a mod, I don't know what it is.
WillieSea  [author] 22 Aug, 2023 @ 11:55am 
@Pelgerin - Thanks for the info, I will give that a try and see how it goes.
Pelgerin 22 Aug, 2023 @ 11:54am 
I think you should be able to lessen the problem with small ships flying unpredictably by balancing the MainThruster location -- right now it's at [1,1], whereas the actual center of the part is at [1.5,1.5]. See e.g. the vanilla Huge Thruster, which has its MainThruster location at [1.5,1.5].
WillieSea  [author] 22 Aug, 2023 @ 2:12am 
@Silverwolfss - Yes. I have experienced no issue with this new engine, but if you do then I need information on the issue from you, such as the log.
Silverwolfss 22 Aug, 2023 @ 2:00am 
just to check does this work with the new crew management
WillieSea  [author] 6 Jul, 2023 @ 9:02am 
The mod does not need to be updated since it is not crashing with crew management turned on. If it is crashing for you then post the first 20 or so lines of the error log.
shephjr15 6 Jul, 2023 @ 7:22am 
Will this mod be updated to accommodate the late June update that added crew construction? As it stands, like many mods that add a part, it just crashes the game when trying to use it now. One of the issues seems to be that several base-game assets were renamed, resulting in failed calls from mods.

Comment too long lol.

3. Increase ramp-up time to at least match the Huge Thruster (4 seconds) or higher. The ramp-up time is the same as the 2x1 standard thruster, allowing antigrav engines to make 1,000+ ton ships able to quickly alter course as if they were a fighter. If these antigrav engines are for larger ships, then they should have stats that reflect that.

Overall, it's a good mod but it just needs some tweaking to prevent all the other engines from becoming pointless.
Choppah 16 Dec, 2022 @ 9:31am 
This is a really interesting mod, but it is massively unbalanced. I would suggest 3 things:

1. Remove the thrust bonus from the Engine Room. With no exhaust zones to worry about you can put 6 around a single engine room. The speed boost is hilarious but makes any long-range focused ship completely uncatchable. In addition, the cost savings are tremendous, a single engine room turns the thrust of 6 antigrav engines into 9, saving 210,000 credits by not having to buy extra engines.

2. Increase power usage to 1.1/sec or higher. A single medium reactor and 8 crew can keep 8 antigrav engines running with only a few hiccups here and there. And all of that fits in a 9x9 grid, making armoring the section incredibly easy. Compared to vanilla engines, the reduced costs for smaller reactors and less manpower makes the overall cost difference not matter as much.

Central engines will be a bit wobbly. Put your engines in the corners and it should stabilize your ship.
WillieSea  [author] 4 Dec, 2022 @ 7:59am 
@Good_Oatmeal - Glad you like it, smaller ships would need extra stabilizer vanilla engines, this is really made for the very big ships. I put one in each corner of my factory/storage ship and it gets around just fine.

这为游戏添加了古代特瑟拉特技术。



Teseract是来自银河系中心的能量生物。



+添加Tesseract反重力引擎。

black holes for example :D

@Sap - Gravity whether positive or negative is still a force. And space is hardly lacking gravity to push against that gravity. The massive gravity well of the star alone keeps planets circling it. And the even bigger gravity well of the galaxy that keeps billions of stars circling it. It is hardly a lol topic.
Sap 21 Nov, 2022 @ 7:58pm 
?? antigravity in space ok seen it all lol,, guess it culd work on a planet hehe
WillieSea  [author] 21 Nov, 2022 @ 4:11am 
@Shuri-Sama - That mod is a cheat mod. No blueprint needed, same resources that huge thruster requires, uses a lot less power, everything else about the same.
Shuri-Sama 20 Nov, 2022 @ 8:41pm 
is there a difference? because this one is already so strong ont think a better version is needed.
WillieSea  [author] 20 Nov, 2022 @ 7:53pm 
@Shuri-Sama - Yes, the cheat version of this engine is now part of the "I Win Button" mod.
Shuri-Sama 20 Nov, 2022 @ 7:39pm 
ps: i think not compatible with the i win mod (cause you added it there as well)
Shuri-Sama 20 Nov, 2022 @ 7:34pm 
if you have the giant reactor from janis shipyard there is no energy problem. with that solve all my problems ^^
WillieSea  [author] 20 Nov, 2022 @ 1:39pm 
I could lower the power usage to the same as the Terran Huge Thruster but I felt there needed to be a payoff for the 'double' thrust these give.
sir Evans 20 Nov, 2022 @ 1:36pm 
Thanks.

2 of these next to engineering room were draining my large reactor :)
WillieSea  [author] 20 Nov, 2022 @ 1:34pm 
@Evans - Like any energy hungry component, you need crew and reactors very close to them. But I have modified the drive a bit.
WillieSea  [author] 20 Nov, 2022 @ 1:33pm 
Modified the drive a bit. Increased resource cost, increased battery storage, lowered recharge threshold, less power usage.
sir Evans 20 Nov, 2022 @ 12:37pm 
So, my feedback:
I would double the building costs of special resources, but actually lower the energy requirements.

RIght now these seem to very often run out of juice mid-flight :)
rojogames371 20 Nov, 2022 @ 11:12am 
yeah that's really the only benefit.
rojogames371 20 Nov, 2022 @ 11:12am 
ammo.
ammo based is.
cool though.
Shuri-Sama 19 Nov, 2022 @ 4:07pm 
i hope an energy based weapon. dont like ammo based. need extra production and storage only to use a weapon :D.
WillieSea  [author] 19 Nov, 2022 @ 3:41pm 
Next I will be working on the Tesseract Singularity Cannon.
sir Evans 19 Nov, 2022 @ 3:17pm 
I'll take it! :D
Shuri-Sama 19 Nov, 2022 @ 1:16pm 
ah cool. no deadzones anymore so can use the full space. thats really a nice shippart :D
WillieSea  [author] 19 Nov, 2022 @ 1:04pm 
@Shuri-Sama - It is a "thruster" that propels the ship in all 360 degrees. It uses gravity waves so there is no exhaust from this component.
Shuri-Sama 19 Nov, 2022 @ 12:43pm 
em is this a thruster or a support system like the enegine room?
WillieSea  [author] 19 Nov, 2022 @ 12:35pm 
A cheat version of this will be available in the "I Win Button" mod shortly.
