Same :( Add onto that a bunch of my accounts got hacked on Monday. I was able to recover most of them, but I still don't have my Twitter and Discord. A silver-lining of losing my Twitter/Discord is I now I have more time to do things. I did redownload Space Engineers so I can revisit my mods, but I can't offer an ETA at the moment.

What about now :D
Shaostoul  [author] 9 Sep, 2022 @ 8:51pm 
Sorry, been preoccupied with survival.
Wygos 7 Sep, 2022 @ 11:03am 
No progress?
Shaostoul  [author] 4 Aug, 2022 @ 1:02pm 
I'm not sure that's something I can change, it might be hard coded into the engine. I'll look, but at this point I can't promise anything.
Wygos 3 Aug, 2022 @ 11:13pm 
Thrust seems ok.
p.s.
We had vanilla sand dust effect (like from drilling or wheels) going behind windows same as your thrust effect not that long agoafter keen changed something. But next patch Keen fixed it. I assume its the same problem whatever it is.

Thrust seems ok.
Shaostoul  [author] 1 Aug, 2022 @ 1:47pm 
Thank you! Those are kinda weird issues! How's the thrust capacity? Is that still okay or is it way under or over powered?
Wygos 1 Aug, 2022 @ 3:33am 
Broken texture around thruster exaust.(when against skybox or voxels)

It also goes behind glass for whatever reason
And not as transparent as original used to be.

That's why I have people add me as a contributor to the mod, less likely to get flagged. Can you show me specifically where the fix needs to happen? I haven't looked at the game files in a long time. I'll try to set some time aside to fix this mod for you guys for all your patience/understanding.

KeeN should pick this mod and make it base game, as pressurised oxygen can be used as propulsion. ==
"opening up the valve of a fire extinguisher and allowing the pressurized contents to escape, is analogous to a rocket engine." - NASA Q/A

About bug. The bug is about 5 min of fixing and can be done just by sitting on a toilet.
I have it fixed as "local mod" but i will not publish it as it is NOT my work. (Steam is aggressive towards duplicates)
No fancy "sparkles" Shaostoul... but i give you award "Gotta have it"
Shaostoul  [author] 29 Jul, 2022 @ 3:49pm 
I'm not at present, but anyone is welcome to fix it. I've been meaning to, but I've been hella preoccupied with the development of my community's sci-fi rpg. How's the sound? Is the texture the only problem? Is the thrust force good or should it be rebalanced?
Wygos 29 Jul, 2022 @ 2:30pm 
So are you guys fixing it ?
Shaostoul  [author] 27 Jul, 2022 @ 3:25pm 
I grant everyone permission that reaches out to me. The last 15 mods on my mod list: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/Shaostoul/myworkshopfiles/?appid=244850&p=1&numperpage=30 are all done by people requesting permission.
Rusted Droid 27 Jul, 2022 @ 11:28am 
If you not want to support SE and fix bugs on good mods then why you not grant permission so someone that can maitain this mod for future SE releases?
Bug in this mod look like just texture issue.
Wygos 9 Jul, 2019 @ 4:28am 
Can someone fix this thruster so it would not flicker at the base? How does fixing someones mod work?
Shaostoul  [author] 5 Mar, 2019 @ 10:04pm 
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.

Been trying to sort RL stuff to be able to live-stream. Use the Discord link above if you want to keep in touch and invite whomever you want. The more the merrier.
RE4L54UERKR4U7 24 May, 2018 @ 12:48pm 
good to know get the other stuff sorted first no matter how long it needs ^^
Shaostoul  [author] 11 May, 2018 @ 3:27pm 
Not abandoned. I'm just sorta wrapped up in a lot of things right now. Sounds like something went wrong with the thruster sprite.
RE4L54UERKR4U7 10 May, 2018 @ 6:18am 
Not sure if this mod is abandoned or not if not an update would be great there is still or again a box arround the thrusters when you look at them from a few metres distance :/ ^^
Shaostoul  [author] 28 Oct, 2016 @ 7:32pm 
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.
FlorianXXIV 28 Jul, 2016 @ 3:49pm 
and there is a big white square around the thrusters
FlorianXXIV 28 Jul, 2016 @ 3:47pm 
The thrusters made a sound that goes evrywere and the thrust Texture is to big
Shaostoul  [author] 1 Jul, 2016 @ 3:18pm 
UPDATE:
-Steam Thruster 'should' be fixed and quieted down.
-Added support for the new variants system. (4000+ lines of code later)
-Cleaned up some code.
-No errors beyond "None File Extensions" present on release. I was able to place, grind, and weld all blocks without crashes.

The mod was released via the development branch, however no code changes took place that will break it for the stable branch. You will get a prompt about this, but you should have no issues.
Shaostoul  [author] 18 Jun, 2016 @ 7:57pm 
I'll post here, so just make sure you're subbed here and you should be fine.
Reginald Gickington 18 Jun, 2016 @ 7:29pm 
Oh alright, well then shoot me a comment or something when it's fixed I guess, no rush.
Shaostoul  [author] 18 Jun, 2016 @ 6:46pm 
It broke and I have yet to get around to fixing it.
Reginald Gickington 18 Jun, 2016 @ 6:38pm 
When I use these, there's a massive white square around the thruster, and it makes the most horrifying hissing noise that never stops. What gives?
Rubber Sword 1 Jun, 2016 @ 1:37pm 
What a shame this doesn't work yet
Shaostoul  [author] 17 May, 2016 @ 8:36pm 
No problem. :)
RyMitchie 17 May, 2016 @ 8:12pm 
Yeah me and Milkman were just discussing it, but life takes priority for sure. Whenever you get around to it man, thanks
Shaostoul  [author] 17 May, 2016 @ 8:08pm 
Yeah, I just got a PM about it. I'll be able to get to it next week. Hanging out with my father this week, I haven't seen him in 20 years, so this modding stuff is taking a back seat until he goes back home this weekend.
RyMitchie 17 May, 2016 @ 8:04pm 
I think this needs an update, the sound is bugging out and the steam effect is showing up as a bright white box
Shaostoul  [author] 28 Feb, 2016 @ 8:57am 
SMALL UPDATE:
-Glass texture changed temporarily.
-Many textures fixed, were behaving very weird, still more to do, lemme know if you see anything specific.
-Catwalk Stair should no longer be crashing
Shaostoul  [author] 2 Feb, 2016 @ 7:52am 
BIG UPDATE:
-Near every single texture has be reworked to be better designed for better compression and smaller size.
-SLANTED FORCE FIELDS! I know, I know, took forever.
-DisplayName changes. Viewing block names in game should be significantly more pleasant.
-Assembler/Refinery storage capacity tweaked.
-New Gravity Generator
-Airlock door reworked a little bit to stop clipping issue.
-Airlock collision reworked slightly to hopefully stop so many explosions from unmerging.
-Hollow rotor is a little less explodey... Use with extreme caution.
-Many block position fixes, blocks finally showing up in block menu properly.

As with all big updates, if you have corruption errors. Delete the 9digitmod.sbm file located in appdata/spaceengineers/mods and redownload. No SubtypeID's were changed, so no blocks should vanish.
ZoidIndustries 11 Jan, 2016 @ 9:00pm 
I'll keep that in mind. Maybe set up a timer block or cockpit control to turn them on and off and compensate for the thrust with the thrusters that send the ship into reverse or something.
Shaostoul  [author] 11 Jan, 2016 @ 8:55pm 
Keep in mind, they do add thrust though. Great show. I need to finish watching it some time
ZoidIndustries 11 Jan, 2016 @ 8:50pm 
Excellent, then when I get the issues that keep me from playing Space Engineers fixed I can use these for an effect on a fighter ship ( to replicate the charged particle cannon seen in the Zoids franchise).
Shaostoul  [author] 11 Jan, 2016 @ 8:45pm 
They do not
ZoidIndustries 11 Jan, 2016 @ 8:44pm 
Do they do thruster damage?
Shaostoul  [author] 15 Oct, 2015 @ 1:24am 
Not yet Gen, but the goal is for it to be wired up and use water as fuel, but I can't say anything else, being stuff I really want to say, due to NDA.
GenFrogKing 15 Oct, 2015 @ 12:36am 
Btw, does this steam engine use ice as fuel? If so, that's awesome. If not, still cool.
GenFrogKing 15 Oct, 2015 @ 12:35am 
I love this. Good for eery scenarios in space. Now, all we need is Ridley Scott's Alien in SE invading my ship! Still waiting for this dream to come true. uu
. 8 Oct, 2015 @ 12:10am 
sweet
Shaostoul  [author] 5 Sep, 2015 @ 4:07pm 
Who knows, it depends on where the individual who originally wanted this piece and the people I've been working with on expanding on this wants to go... and when I get the time.
Raven4K 5 Sep, 2015 @ 3:23pm 
what's next high pressure steam thruster's?
LEERROOYY 30 Aug, 2015 @ 9:27am 
yeah exactly... use texture of Ship fans to steam thrusters
Shaostoul  [author] 22 Aug, 2015 @ 1:12am 
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean someones texture? To replace the steam jet?
LEERROOYY 22 Aug, 2015 @ 12:46am 
Hi Shaostoul, you know what would be nice??? Try to take Ship Fans texture and make thruster from it using this steam thing... thx and keep up good work...
