There should be some server logs, if you have those from the time of crash that should give some clue about what caused it. Unfortunately, with the extensive modlist you provided I can't pinpoint any suspect specifically.. I'm not that great of a modder, I can add simple models like these, just figured out how to add them to the G menu. Anything else on your list is vastly more complex then this one.

It was tested both in Grid AI beta and normal prod version of the game.

Thanks for checking Solear, I figured it wasn't your mod's fault at all, but just wanted to check with you. my only thought: was this tested by you in current GA 1.201.014, or just the 1.202 beta? thanks

I've looked at your modlist and I'm impressed your game even runs :D I'm running a small scale server that I've packed with the mods I like (including the googly eyes) and it is stretching the limit of what I can actually play on, and you have 2 times the mods than I am..

I've played with this mod both in solo and in a dedicated server with no crashes at all.
It is as simple as I can make it, it's literally just a mesh with PBR textures, packed by Keen's tools. No functionality or script whatsoever.
What is the exact crash? do you get any error message or log? (anything that would point to this mod in particular?)

Morning, we've been having some crashes for a few days since installing this wonderful mod on our existing world. Is there a possibility your mod could be in conflict with something else? What are your thoughts? thank you o_o

I love this.

@ GSG | DJToxica It can be done with models as well, same as the googly eyes. I wanted to keep this separate and simple but if I have time later, I cna create a new mod for mouths as well! Thanks for the suggestion!

Now we need a giant grinning mouth, so i can build tanks in turrets like in warthunder.
Like this one:

Maybe with Screens?

@vadernation123 Probably but I'm not that knowledgeable about modding.. If someone in the modding community wants to make it happen, they have my blessing to use these models (although they were make as static. I assume it would be quicker to make the moving version from sketch then to adopt mine) Sorry!
Dalten 5 Mar, 2023 @ 8:15pm 
This is a work of art. I don't even care that they're not functional cameras. Amazing work, well done!
vadernation123 5 Mar, 2023 @ 1:46pm 
love the idea. any way to make them work with physics like they move with the ship like actual googly eyes?
Solear  [author] 22 Feb, 2023 @ 6:24am 
No but you can put them on custom turrets I think and there should be be an option for them to follow player or target.
The upcoming automatons will surely add that functionality to any grid with the AI blocks
so this is technically just a cheap way to indicate where is the front of your droids :lunar2019grinningpig:
The Erubian Warlord 21 Feb, 2023 @ 4:16pm 
ah ok i thought maybe they would act like turrets goggling about until they spot something in their targeting parameters
Solear  [author] 21 Feb, 2023 @ 11:28am 
they do not. It's just decorative. 1 static mesh, multiple variations. they are not moving or not animated or anything. It's literally acts like a sticker of some sorts. It's a 3D model, but no other functionality beyond decorative.

how do the eyes function?
