I've had no reports of them messing up.

is this still working or abandoned

Try control + F5, it clears cache/cookies for the page, maybe it'll fix it.

It says "an error has occurred" every time I click it.

Weird, it's working on my end.

Video is bugged and will not play.

Hey guys, I'm so sorry to do this to you, but I need to work on my future for concern of not having one if I'm not careful. Please check out the video added to the description discussing me going on hiatus from modding Space Engineers.

No idea. That's part of the reason I'm working on branching out.

Huh. Yeah, doesn't sound worth it.I've made designs that had the landing gear on pistons, but they tended to ... I'm not sure what word to use. Wiggle? Wobble? Flop around like a bobblehead? Gyrate like a flamingo with one toe glued to the top of a tree in a hurricane? All of the above, depending on circumstances.

Of course, part of the problem with my landing-gear-on-pistons designs was that they were all small ships, using that landing gear to hang onto my mothership. It's entirely possible that if I build landing gear with pistons onto the mothership itself, which tends to land on things that don't suddenly accelerate or turn underneath it (like planets), it may be more stable. Buuut, I understand that pistons are being phased out. =x

I wonder what the heck Keen is going to do next?

Yeah, my memory is pretty bad. :/

I imagine an upgrade to this mod would be just updating the code to use the most recent iteration by the developers. I have a programmer working with me now, so maybe we could look into making some cool landing gear. I'm not sure what is available to us, but I know retractable landing gear and SE don't get along. There's been a few iterations of them.

True retractable landing gear are dangerous physics wise. Since you have individual parts moving so close together. Clang strikes often with these.

The other type are animation only landing gear, but the downside is that the physics doesn't move with the landing gear. You either have landing gear phasing through objects or the physics block permanently extends to where the landing gear would be in the extended position, even if it's not visually extended.

I suppose it's possible it wasn't the mod that wrecked the toolbars. It's just that I got up out of the flight chair to build the landing gear, and when I sat down again they were gone. I guess I could've pushed the wrong button, but then, I've never had that happen before.

The landing "skids" seemed normal enough, I suppose the fact that I couldn't get the regular landing gear to work could simply be that I misunderstood how the mod worked? I just built one, went into the control panel, looked at the menus. (shrug) I dunno.

If animated (retractable) landing gear is such a nightmare, then it probably isn't worth doing, especially with everything else you've already got going on. I retract my request.

I'm still thinking about the discord thing. I'm still kind of leery of it, but Norton's been catching a lot of crap that I'd have had to deal with, so I may give it a try. We've discussed it before, though you likely don't remember.

I have a hard time believing this mod did anything like that since this mod has no extra scripts attached to it. If it did that, then it must've been something the devs did. I can try updating it, but I have to make new models since I've lost all of the source files. I won't do animated landing gear for the sake of safety. I've helped too many modders try to debug animated landing gear to really want to try it. I can't offer an ETA though. You can join my Discord if you'd like to keep up to date.

This is desperately in need of an update. The landing gear don't visually attach to the ship; they just float there. I don't see how they could be retractable, nor any way to extend/retract them. And to top it all off, using this mod completely deleted all my toolbar settings. I thought I was in build mode, but no, every button has just been wiped blank. I have to rebuild them from scratch, and hope to God I remember what systems my ship actually even *has*.

I'll try to check it out, but I don't have source files, so I'll likely have to cheese it if I run into any issues.

@Shaostoul I can confirm. I've been having that issue with that block since last year.

Oh, that's weird. Can anyone else confirm that's an issue?

The small-grid skid block (middle section) seems to have an issue with the build-state model, where the frame is the size of a large block...

So far it's just you. I'll ask on my Discord.

I'm getting an error when i use this in a world with the 1.188 update.
Is that just me?

Thank you. I'm doing what I can to get there. Just taking quite a while.

good luck and awesome mod btw ;)

aw i see....sorry to hear that. hope to have your mod back soon as it is important to my world

Maybe. Can't do anything until I can replace my dead PC. Still raising money on my GoFundMe since I can't work.

hey after todays update landing skids no longer lock. dose mod need updated or am i missing something

Ah, okay. Well, there isn't anything I can do about that broken one. I will update this eventually but, it'll take a while getting to. Nice long laundry list of stuff to update/create since I got better.

Yours works. The one you meantioned that you got the idea from is the broken one.

I'm confused, are you saying mine is broken?

Saw you meantioned the ' Maglock ' mod in the vid. Well it breaking and not working has a short story about that. There are actually 2 versions of it and it's the newer second version that broke...the first version still works. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=343014073 Could use build state model update, but all else works fine.

Sure, I don't mind.

Good! Hey, would you friend me?

Thank you guys, I've been doing better for the most part. Still can't work a normal job or do much else but, I can mod again.

@Shaostoul
Not sure what you believe, but God bless you and help you get better. The Space Engineers Universe needs modders like you!

Oh cool man, hope you feel better soon :)

Maybe eventually. I'm dealing with some health problems right now that has completely stopped my modding.

Any chance you could make a simple invisable wheel mod? (lrg&sml) To be used in this way https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=890632169 , would love to have this floating https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=900304753

No idea, I've been dealing with health issues and haven't exactly been following what's going on with SE.

@Shaostoul - Great mod. However the skids dont seem to want to lock. Is there an issue after the last game patch??

It was on the stable branch and when I opened the world with about 8 of your mods the only Ines that could be found in the tab were this and the military one, the rest just weren't there, I'll try reloading them like you suggested on the other page but just so you know it was on stable

You were using, as in the were working? Hmmm, devs might've broke something. I'll look into it.

so i was using a group of your mods on a stable branch world and only this one and the military one showed up

UPDATE: October 28, 2016

WARNING: Sometimes mods corrupt when updating. Locate the 9digit number in the URL that corresponds to a 9digit.sbm file in the AppData/Roaming/SpaceEngineers/Mods folder. Delete that SBM file and it will force a redownload.

Finally! It took a while for me to get the update out since I got home from Florida but, all is well! My cousin's brain surgery went fantastically and he's returned to work. It's lovely to be back in Washington and have everything back that I missed. IE: My computer, bed, and amazing well water. :P

Thank you everyone for your wishes and being patient during that difficult time.

-This update brings everything to the current Stable SE version.
-Steam thrusters were quieted and white box shouldn't appear.
-Glass should be fixed.
-Many texture fixes to be in line with the new renderer.

understandable, you have alot on your plate at the time. I wish you and your cousin the best!

That too. I already have a 1x1 landing skid and pad but, they won't fit down a 1x1 hole. It'll be a while before I can mess with the idea but, I'll try to keep it in mind. I'm still in a different state.

then it could retract and sit flush with the craft

OR, a landing skid with a slightly smaller collision box to place at the end of a piston! that could work.

Can't quite make any. The best I could do is make a piston that can slide down a 1x1 hole (or whatever) and then you attach a wheel to it. You 'could' use the vertical wheels I have presently available, then raise and lower them. They have quite a bit of travel.

dude.... make some piston based landing gear.... you would be my hero

Glad someone got it! No one on Discord did when I posted it there.

Thanks. Just realised where I recognised the wheel design from, Aliens APC!!

@Reclaimer 117, no worries. :)

@woostyboy, theoretically, yes. It might look a little weird, but it should technically work.
