Added a little homage to your amazing early work, here's hoping we get to see some of these things in SE2

Monorail block causes the game to crash, can this be fixed?
FURY 22 Feb, 2023 @ 3:10pm 
Crashes game when you place almost any rail block DO NOT USE IN CURRENT FORM

Is there no one to overtake this mod? Until now it worked fine but now i get crashes with Monorail and Rail blocks and that sucks, because it is such a usefull mod. Maybe Keen make it vanilla?

Dudes see a mod that hadn't been updated since 2016, but still post issues here expecting them to be fixed.

Really miss this mod. It was one of those that singlehandedly made SE. Please come back.
Hikari 17 Mar, 2022 @ 5:42am 
Monorail blocks now crash the game.

@Syhkane yeah. If any modders with spare time discover this, it would be a huge contribution to the community if at least some of the blocks could be revived :)
Syhkane 28 Jun, 2021 @ 4:16pm 
This mod definitely needs a revival.

I really like blocks of this mod. Sad that every SE update makes them more buggy.
suspension with gear wheel is very weak no longer able to move platform on rail. The tooth wheel will just skip. :/
Collision on rail blocks overlap making them unusable.
Very neat mod for makers. Keen just not care.

every time i take the last pin out and try to connect it with my own pin it wont recognize it at all as a connection that i just put in so you cannot make a chain
Spenny 12 Feb, 2021 @ 11:44am 
making a chain link together is making me want 2 pull my hair out, i would love if this worked. pls update :p

$50 bounty too
Rudi 20 Nov, 2020 @ 10:06am 
fuck
EffEmmEll 19 Nov, 2020 @ 9:52am 
I just realized most of this is just broken.
$50 for an update! I'm not even kidding.
EffEmmEll 19 Nov, 2020 @ 9:38am 
Would someone mind explaining how to use the monorail, or point me toward a tutorial? I can't get it to thread right. It won't move afterward, no matter how many gears I use.
Rusted Droid 1 Nov, 2020 @ 5:05am 
Using this MOD for few years and must say SE will benefit from it. Lifts and custom doors are more fun with this mod.
spiritplumber 17 Sep, 2020 @ 8:07pm 
this is amazing please update it
Krupterz 23 Aug, 2020 @ 4:57pm 
@Fus they are landing gear like, find them and disable autolock and unlick them and they should be fine, or Keen changed something big and landing gear got turned into merge blocks.

But really they are modded landing feet by function so they stick if you don't turn off that autolock.
Fu$ion 14 Aug, 2020 @ 12:51pm 
It's a shame that many blocks no longer work, this was the cleverest set of blocks of all time.
If only the blast rail blocks would still slide into each other, they now act like merge blocks :(
Red Unit 31 Jul, 2020 @ 8:59am 
Hi! This mod is awesome and help me making many good mechanisms, but can you update your mod for using skins and fix some errors like missed polygons and collision conflicts with rails and blocks with spots for them?
max 11 Jun, 2020 @ 6:11am 
a me non funziona
CAT8 9 Jun, 2020 @ 3:23am 
I was trying to make drill train to take out ice lake but i ran into an isue ....weight not even gear train could help me. could not figure out how to make planetary gear train
TruckerRyan 31 May, 2020 @ 7:38pm 
So, I tried doing kind of a sliding door with gears using the monorail with teeth and gears. The gears start to move, but then seem to just stop as though it can't move the teeth along the track. I have the vehicle converted to a ship and all. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure how to get small gears closer. Large gears require less revolutions meaning that they should go faster. Not sure why a large gear is less powerful than a small gear.

Anyway, the whole platform doesn't work anyway. I got tired of it ultimately and can't find another way to do it with anything else from this mod. I thought maybe if I used a long beam with that block that has a hole in it as the start of the platform it could just hold the platform in place and I could use thrusters to zip the platform up at escape velocity or some such but that block doesn't work right either.

As for coliding, the gears mesh together so well, are you sure they still need that uber strength to them? I'm unsure if the game still has clang related issues as badly as it did before.
MechanizedIT  [author] 25 May, 2020 @ 3:09pm 
Interesting build, small gears would be more powerful. Had to make gears really strong because of their constant colliding.
Vas 23 May, 2020 @ 9:38am 
The mod works, at least the parts I tested so far. Except, the gear blocks, are uber super strong. They can withstand multiple warheads.

I'm also unsure how to make these things lift. I thought that rotors would be able to lift a platform using this system wit hease but it seems not. Thats 16 rotors, with 16 large gears all perfectly aligned and set up just right, and they can't provide any lift unless I have a ton of atmo thrusters to help.

Trying to use this to make a space elevator.
Vas 20 May, 2020 @ 6:39pm 
I can give this a test real fast and see if I notice anything particularly broken.
Vas 20 May, 2020 @ 6:38pm 
Mechanized, from what I know there's a lot of changes to the game since this was last updated. DX11 textures. Progression. I believe there were a few other changes too that I can't recall.
MechanizedIT  [author] 20 May, 2020 @ 5:14pm 
The mod still works as it always did when I play it. Don't know what updating it would do. Needs an overhaul or remake tbh.
Dralvek 16 May, 2020 @ 7:55am 
MMM..? :2018spacefox:
Vas 15 May, 2020 @ 10:03pm 
I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic with his comment. :P
Dralvek 10 May, 2020 @ 5:53am 
author, you can update the mod to a new version of the game. it all worked perfectly, and the chain was easy to use
KƎV!NTDG 9 May, 2020 @ 1:18pm 
True @Freudman
Freudman 9 May, 2020 @ 10:03am 
bro you are autor... you should fix it
MechanizedIT  [author] 7 May, 2020 @ 9:15pm 
please update
BadPancake 8 Apr, 2020 @ 2:02pm 
please update someone
Freudman 21 Mar, 2020 @ 6:29am 
please repoir this one somebody
MetalMessiah 20 Jan, 2020 @ 8:22am 
Man I wish this would be updated, I'd help any way I could :(
Krupterz 9 Jan, 2020 @ 6:48pm 
As dead as this mod is in the water in its current state i still love it for the rail blocks it provides and would love to see it revived and updated with the newer code base that we didn't have in 2016, having the ability to use pistons and rotor based stuff that doesn't take off on its own accord is a blessing that SE is lacking at times.
spiritplumber 31 Dec, 2019 @ 6:10am 
This is incredible and there needs to be an update...
zenol the soviet waffle 2 Dec, 2019 @ 9:33am 
the builder's toolbox thing, the one for circles and the ruler, when i use them the field they project is completely transparent and i can;t see any of the details, is there a way to fix this issue? and has any one else had this problem or is it just me?
Yeto 23 Nov, 2019 @ 4:29pm 
please update it, or give permission another Space-Engineer releaseing an updated version with credits and link to the original
Aluxes 12 Sep, 2019 @ 6:13pm 
Yeah, ik it hasn't been updated in a few years, but the heavy duty hinge is like 500 cubic blocks...
Satarel 31 Aug, 2019 @ 10:48pm 
me to, name your price ( x00)
KƎV!NTDG 30 Aug, 2019 @ 8:42pm 
Agreed
xterrylorakhx 30 Aug, 2019 @ 1:03pm 
I just want to add my voice to the others (everybody) that are begging for this to be updated. Of the absolute mess of mods I use for SE this has always been and will always be my favorite and the things that are missing to make this game complete. It's a game with Engineer in the title; how do we not have gears and such? Please please PLEASE update this and expand it as much as you can. I'm all for donating if needed.
xTUx Death Lord 8 Aug, 2019 @ 2:56pm 
last updated 2016. does any one have a link to an updated version since i cant find one ?
