I would like to call for the examination of small grid drills, I keep trying to use a 1x3 row of 'em on my liberated TT-15 freighter and there's this memory leak that's been plaguing me for the past few days, often to the point of crashing almost every application on my pc

Toolcore welders at least LG ones don't seem to be working since the Fieldwork Update. I cant get these or the Tiered Tech Replacement ones to work. Even after that other mods creator says he fixed them.

What are the "customisable" options?

Block tools losing functionality and their selection from toolbars is still a thing with this mod, and I see these issues being mentioned from march to may of this year, yet the mod was updated in october. Can these issues be looked at, that would be pretty good.

My simulation speed drops to 0.2~0.4 when I activate my 8x8 large drill array with this mod. Anything I missed in the setup?

Am i assuming correctly that the same blocks are used and no issues would arise for blueprints being used on servers where this mod is not installed?

Hi there @Ash Like Snow, I wanted to report a bug, the drill won't be available for selection in available tools and weapons when using it on a custom turret controller setup, I haven't tried the grinder or welder but it would be a good idea to take a look into it, thank you so much for the toolcore mod! It looks great!

I am a bit sad that grinders don't apply physics when they grind using this mod. In vanilla small grids will start bouncing all over when you start grinding, necessitating some interesting designs for grinder pits (notably them being pits).

Bug - small grid drills would get removed from hot bar when disconnecting from station, then would not be accessible to re-add to the hotbar without a relog.

Love the smooth Drilling! After some tests I discovered a few Issues:
- The radius of the drills is smaller then in vanilla.
- You get only about 1/5th of the mined ore from rhe same voxel amount compared to vanilla.
- The Inventory size of all the tools is set to only 1000.
I don´t use Discord, hope it´s ok to post it here.

Could this be used to reduce the AoE of welders? Want to have a LG welder with a range of about 1-2 SG blocks at the tip for a factory setup I have been working on a bit. If possible would want it to look like an SG welder but attach to a LG large port. I am not knowledgeable about mod creations and after reading the description here and on the ToolCore it sound like it could be possible this way, but I don't want this mod to replace vanilla/Toolcore welder, but be an additional tool block.

@TrueWhiteKnight To be honest, when I started using them I thought the same. I forwent reading the instructions (derp). I actually found out that feature by accident while testing them. I thought they had to be on MY ship and somehow hacked wirelessly or something perhaps. I defeated an MES ship which crashed and when I used the gear to grab it and tote it home, I found everything, that was left at least, was assigned to me.

@Scientwist I never knew about that. I had always thought that it was necessary to plant the hacking modules on the target grid.

@TrueWhiteKnight The hacking mod Anubis linked to doesn't NEED to have the hacking blocks placed on the construct to be hacked. If you have a small enough ship and can slip by defenses, you can have the hacking blocks on your ship, just anchor to the target with landing gear and it'll auto hack. The more hacking modules you have the faster the hack as far as I've tested. Unless something has changed since the last time I used them, it should still be like this.

or at least a ship mounted directional hack

@Anubis, yes, but as a handheld device. instead of grinding it down (impossible with awwscrap) and rebuilding it, over the course of a few seconds it changes the ownership of the targeted block

@TrueWhiteKnight
Like this https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2034225971?

would it be possible to make a hacking type tool that allows you to take control of a block, albeit slowly.

Seems interesting. I'll keep an eye out.

huge performance increase while mining compared to default. small radius seems to be the downfall unless I am missing something.

Would it be possible in the future for the player to adjust the distance between tools, at the expense of increased energy consumption? On a scale configured by the world/server administrator?

What is this?

Where's the console version? Will this be coming to mobile phones too?
