You should write somewhere, whether the mod is DX11 or not...

Thank you! I couldn't figure out out to edit the files. I'm new to modding, and I have a lot to learn.

the sbm file is a zip file.

How did you modify the block definitions of a block from another mod? I'm trying to modify a block from ShadowFlux's Used Mining Equipment, and I can't figure out which files I'm supposed to edit, and how to edit them once I find them. Steam downloads the mod files as .sbm files, and I can't seem to open those.

Any help you can give is highly appreciated.

Unfortunately no. This mod was only being maintained as is. There have been some excellent new production mods that have come since.

any chance of getting module support?

You both are doing a good job there.
Please keep up the good work ;).

LOL, OK... I'm the process of learning the Sx11 textures and how they work and how to deal with them. So I'm at a point of waiting for that and how the modding of the the upgrade work and what I can modifier, I'm planning on having some custom upgrades for the Refinery, I might not worry so much on the Assembler. I'm sending a friend request.

Don't stop! ;) I have approval to maintain this fork. If you want to be a contributor to this mod, I have no issues with that.

I was working on an update (Ibelieved this Mod to be abandoned) I have the models, using a method I have acquiring them, and I have them wokring with upgrades. To my knowledge I was asked to stop because you were working on an update for it, as so i was told.

I'm maintaining this "fork", but I unfortunately don't have the skillset to update the textures. I'm going to see if I can find someone can assist in helping update to DX11.

I was told you are making an update to this mod to include the Upgrades and etc. I was just curious on the state of the progress.

No, they are not. I'm not the maker of the mod, I only made some tweaks.

Are these now compatable with upgrade Moduals?

thats what i ment, i want to use the newer mod and lose the old one lol

Oh, you mean the original XL Industrial? It's either this one, or the other. You can't run both.

so i can use this download and remove the older one?

Separate blocks, not replacements.

does this replace the original version of the block or is this two separate blocks?

Good. I still like them, but know that they are, for now, unworkable.

Multiple standard welders can also cause issue. Like the multiple large drills. I found the area welders very bad for this, so I took them out of this balance.

I did notice that the area welders are uber-slow on a server. Still not sure WHY servers choke on area welding.

I got permission from Tohron. I've even included him to the contributors.

I've messaged Tohron, I am still awaiting a response.

i agre with Morphik and i would like to se the chage in discriptions

I've messaged Tohron and hopefully will get an answer back. I don't believe he is active in SE much anymore.

They do ban mods based on people flagging it, had it happen to one of my rebalance mods. They ban the mod and prevent you from publishing to the workshop for 24 hours.

Do they not kill mods based on complaints?

I'll see if tohron is still available.

Joemorin73, as I know the douche baggery of the moderators of the steam TOS. You should make this private before they find and ban it. Or someone reports this mod. The bobbleheads on here really want you to get permission from the original mod author before you can post changes. Just a heads up.

You're correct. I can't change the "precaching". You can use a Ingame Script to keep them loaded.

Acutally, the speed seems to be limited by the frequency and size of the pull requests the assembler makes, which I assume you can't change. But, if you keep the XL assembler's internal inventory stocked with materials, it runs at full speed 100% of the time.

10x space for components is useless. i'd better have 10 cooperative assemblers doing construction components

I do what most do. Use the XL for slow things like Construction components and the regular for the rest.

as far as i know speed limit for assembler is countered via recipes
xl assembler as it is has same speed as regular one because it hits a speed wall on x10 setting.
making it have recipes that has same production time but x10 output should fix the problem of hitting the max speed wall, no?

no solution for refineries though

Not sure if it needs to be faster. There's also limits imposed by Keen.

k, thx.
one more thing tho - xl assembler hits a speed wall, maybe consider adding/changing recipes inside it to make x10(x5?) items in same time as regular assembler?

sry, lied, second thing: is changing balance of stuff to be faster a possibility? example: xl refinery is 10x faster but take space of 9 refineries so its 10% more space/speed efficient than vanilla, maybe changing it for 15-20%?(dk earthbreaker user so i need to kill ore fast >_<)

Updated description to be specific.

then why you mention blast furnace if you did nothing to it?

In Vanilla, Ref has .8 and Fur has .9. XL had .9 on both. They've been changed to be the same as Vanilla.

wasn't it the same as vanilla anyways for blast furnace? xl refinery had boosted efficiency indeed

Speed is how fast something is refined or assembled. Efficiency is how many ingots are produced per ore or parts per ingot in assembling. The better he efficiency, the more you get.

elaborate what you determine as efficiency and as speed?

The efficiency is the same as vanilla. The speed is 10x faster.

tell me a secret - why have this refinery and furnace if vanilla is the same?
you could remove them too since they are taking more space with the same efficiency as vanilla ones
