I'll check the config options, that sounds plausible. Thanks.

Warlocc, they do work. There are some cases when it does not work (intensionally). Read the description of the linked mod and info on the WIKI and Release page. If specific options are configured, the BaR will not grind enemies in motion to avoid abuse on servers. Another situation where it does not grind is when you are protected by a Shield or Safe-Zone.

You need to specify more details on the issue or question you have if you mean something else with it.

Is there a trick to get "grind enemy" and "grind neutral" to actually work?

@bkgarner00, happy to do it! <3

@Atomhirsch, thats not available at this moment. I will be adding few more options soon.

just came by to say thank you for updating and maintaining this mod

@UnSayableStorm, you need to create it. Do it in a local game first and move the file to the server. Should be similar folders as for Torch or Solo, you need to find the mod folder where to add it. Usually there is a log file located in the same folder. Or search for *_SKO-Nanobot-BuildAndRepair-System directory.

We are using AMP to manage the dedicated server, and I cant find the XML file to edit the auto power off settings? Can you give a pointer on where to find it? The FAQ shows the Torch setup.

SORRY BRO IM SO DUMB I FOUND IT I HAVE TO BUILD A COCKPIT FIRST LOL

@sir, create an issue on my GitHub page and we can investigate it. I will post you a link there to add me on Discord so we can go trough it. Happy to help out.

yes i did and it showed up as loaded. followed your guide to the letter. not sure what it could be.

@sir, did you use the chat command to see if you het a dialog window with version info and such? If that does not show up, the mod is not loaded in your game. Try re-subscribing or deleting the mod folder and subscribe again, but make sure you close the game first before doing so.

doesnt work for me
tried all the fix suggestions
put at bottom of load order etc
just doesnt show up
did that test to see if mod loaded and it is just simply wont show up

@Jack Schitt, that bug is fixed in my version of the mod. That was indeed a bug in the original one. However, if you indeed do not own all parts then it sees the wheels as Subgrids with neutral owner or enemy iwner if a grid has been taken over. So grinding it to hack and back to functional is one way to fix it or to select all wheels or blocks in the Control Panel and transfer to Me.

@Jack Schitt Thanks, I'll check that next time. :)

SKO85 and Jakewhistler: I've seen something like that before with the original Build and Repair System (BARS). I kept catching it grinding the wheels off of my rovers. Just the wheels not the whole suspension. They were stealing my rims! The reason they were doing that is because wheel blocks don't have ownership.

I stopped it from happening by disabling the 'grind un-owned blocks' option, if I remember correctly....it's been a while. I got it to stop happening somehow. If that setting exists in the original that's how.

Jakewhistler: Make sure you own all of the blocks on each vehicle this is happening to you can access in the control panel. Access the control panel, click on one, and press CTRL+A so select all then you can insure ownership is set to "me" for everything. Transfer it to "me" if it's blank. If that menu is blank with everything selected that means the ownership is mixed.

I'll do that next time I'm in game. What I did that seems to be working for now is I ground them past Hack and welded them back again. It's working so far.

@Jakewhistler, I don't have that issue on my side and I have not got any other reports on this. I think might be your settings. Can you check if you're using the right mod and version by typing "/nanobots -help" in the chat? You should see a single dialog with version 1.6.11 or higher.

If you still have the issue, create an issue on GitHub and we can investigate. But I think it is your settings or maybe a combination with another mod or plugin.

I don't know if this is just me or not, but my base's Builders keep grinding my small grid rover and atmospheric cargo mover, not the grind-color-painted large grid ship. And then sometimes it'll build my rover back up again. It seems to like the cockpit and the tires.

@Sierra-117, you're welcome. Have fun!

The best mod when playing with a small group of friends.

Glad to see it getting a facelift and some much needed TLC.
Thanks SKO

@Cupears, your're probably starting a build with a landing gear I guess. That is normal as that grid does not have another Functional block such as Bateries. You need to turn off the BaR for it at this moment. Those blocks do not have owners at that moment and therefore the BaR will start grinding them if they are set up to do so. So for now, disable the BaR until you place few more funcional blocks.

Also, check the grinding block type list. Might be in there to disable landing gears. I will check that later too and maybe I can add it to the list so you can disable grinding down landing gears if you need to.

Is there anyway to stop them from grinding down my landing gears? i had to make a button to turn grinding off and on to build down a landing gear everytime

done.

Yes, please create an issue on GitHub and post the config file and its location on the disk.

Would you like me to move this to gibhub?

So, I regenerated the configs as well as having the players to the list and it's still not working as intended. Any idea on how to fix this? It didn't used to do this when we used the mod before.

@xXShadowNinjaXx, yes, please let them check the steps. Also, ask if they used a config file server side. If so, they need to replace it with a new one.

Actually, I'm going to make them try the steps you posted on your GitHub. Sorry for not seeing it earlier. I'll get back to you if the issue still persists.

Hello, I've been using this on my server for a while now, but as of late, I've been getting quite a few complaints that the bars seem to just randomly stop working. They have said that they have tried everything to fix it and it doesn't work. The only kind of temporary fix we have is to restart the server. If you have any insight on how to fix this, please let me know. We don't really want to swap it out, as this is the only version of this mod that is actually being maintained properly. Thank you.

@Jace domon, all good. Yeah, happens from time to time with Steam. You can always use the chat command in the game to check what version you are using: /nanobars -help

seems my mod did not update after all i unsub and resub and problem fixed sorry my bad

@Jace domon, are you sure you are using the latest version?

Seems it no longer picks up floating object since you pushed the new Patch

The freezing / lock issue should be fixed now in the newest patch-update v1.6.5

Yes, I am working on a fix for it. I know what the issue is, so need to fix it in a couple of hours.

The BAR seem to lock up when it does 30 blocks. When it locks it never finishes the blocks nor does it pick up dropped components from grinding. Madding because I know it's happening in the other 5 Daryabar Instances.

@pierce3383, will check it tomorrow. I think I know where the issue is with that.

Building hangs on large blueprints using projectors. On a 208 block large rover blueprint in a projector it got stuck for an hour until I reset the server. You can check it out @ Daryabar-6 GPS:Phrygia Outpost:-1403923.71:-32929.84:-2420541.55:#FFFFFF00: If you could use a persistent server to test with I can set you up as an Admin in Daryabar-6. I use "Projector to Assembler" mod so components are made long before the BAR needs them.

@Sonidu, works with both. Different Storage folders but same approach.

@SKO85, Thanks so much for your quick response... My head was about to explode with so many failed tests xDDDD. One more question: does the configuration file work with both versions of Build and Repair that you currently have in the workshop, or only with the "Original Resources" version?

I have updated the documentation for it and marked them red for now ;)

@Sonidu, thos are the ones from the previous version. I need to update those for the welding/grinding multiplier in the new code. Will do so soon. The other configuration options should work and are being used as they should. The multiplier will need to wait for an update soon :) I did not want to leave them out as that could break few other stuff, so I left it in there for now.

First, thank you for the mod. Second, I'd like to ask about the configuration file (ModSettings.xlm), because even though it increases the speed, I don't notice any difference (using it on a server with Torch). I've tried changing the values: <WeldingMultiplier>50</WeldingMultiplier>
<GrindingMultiplier>50</GrindingMultiplier>
But the result is the same: approximately one block per second or a little more.

@kad.dsl, should be fixed now.

Update v1.6.2: https://github.com/SKO85/SE-Mods/wiki/Release-Notes#v162---update-18-may-2025

@kad.dsl, select all blocks, including the hidden one on that grid and transfer them to Nobody and see if that works.

I seem to have an odd issue trying to use a BaR block as a shipyard deconstructer. I'm not sure if this is it's intended behavior or a bug.

Ver 1.6.1
Offline Survival game
Fly Mode
Grinding Only mode
Area set to encompass the grid to be ground (verified with Show Area)
Grind Enemy, Grind unowned & Grind neutral all set to on.
More than enough power
More than enough connected storage space

It only works if I turn the "Use Grind color" on and repaint the entire grid to be painted that color. Welding works if I turn that on. With the grind color option turned off, the block just lists itself as Idle. I've tried turning the Grind Priority setting on/off. the block on/off & restarting the game along with just about every other option available on/off. None had any effect.

Am I missing something?

Restarted the server, so presumably picked up the later version. Seems to be a bit better. I look forward to you next version. Thanks for the attention, and your efforts.

@Jasper, yeah, that one is a bit older and had some sync / lag issues. If you update the newest, should be better, but I am also working on a version which I will try release tomorrow that should be working smoother and should be less intensive in scanning and processing.
