For anyone wondering, as of 11/13/2023 this mod is working as intended. It even works with AQD - Vanilla Ore Distribution {LINK REMOVED}(https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1845977557) without them interfering with each other's ore generation. The only issue is the conveyor ports aren't visible, which can make placement a pain of you don't already know where they are (on the bottom).

Give it a try, let me know.

Hello, it's work in 2023 ?

If you do end up doing something with it and pubbing it, il keep an eye out for Codecat hopefully he doesn't give you shit incase you use any models that where his xD

heres the folder from my end for it if u want to see whats in it.

Another Mod that i have that could use a massive facelift is the hydrogen reactors mod :P wink wink nudge nudge.
Id do it but just cant find the will, Id rather wait to start from scratch with some kind of Space Engineers 2.

Thank you! Then I'll make a brand new standalone mod based on yours. And I'll keep you in touch when it will be finished so you'll tell me if it's all good for you :)

But it could take some time from now.

Also, perhaps I'll rework the V8 engines models, as they dont seem to accept all colors and textures. So they always appears shiny. Which is actually quite annoying on a madmax / wasteland environment.

I'm also thinking about reversing theses models as I think the most powerful engine should also be the largest one.

Thanks for all.

Make it Standalone btw =)

Be cool if you published your version ngl sounds like your doing some cool stuff.

@Thundercraft yes I also think that its not really crtical to patch xml configurations. Especially when the mod's visibility is set as unlisted.

Its not the same than 3d models or C# sources, which are covered by copyright laws and intellectual property.

However, I consider its far more respectful when you inform the original mod creator that you use his mod as a working base :)

To answer your question, I'll warn Visentiel here when I feel my work ready to be public. Then he will tell me if he wants to integrate it, or if he would prefer it to be a standalone mod, or as a patch dependant from his mod.

@Sudotai
I'm sure there would be other players out there who'd be interested in your tweaks to this mod. Have you considered making your modifications as a "patch" mod that still requires this mod? AFAIK, releasing a patch to the public on Workshop should not even require the permission of the mod author. After all, it's only a tiny fraction (if that) of the original and does not contain, say, the images / art resources, etc. Unlike a fork, a patch is a very small thing with some changes to certain values here and there.

Alos, FYI, I found this:

The largest in the current line of Wartsila-Sulzer diesel engines is a turbocharged two-stroke low-speed engine, used to power giant supertankers and cargo ships worldwide that run on heavy fuel oil. The largest version is 14-cylinders and is 44.3 feet (13.5m) high and 87.25 feet (25.6m) long, weighs over 2,300 tons and produces 80,080 kW

Hi Visentinel. I'm working on a smad max style server and decided to use your mod.

I like it ! But after some testings I found several things arent adding up. Especially with generators.

For instance, I find that 25MW smallest engine is unbalanced. It would be equivalent to a 33525 HP engine ! (currently submarines nuclear engines are 70MW). Also fuel consumption isn't realistic either.

So I started to add my own petrol engines based on SE 3D models, but using your fuels. Starting with a Diesel small block, about 150KW/200HP, and tweaking the fuel consumption to be more logical. Once this first engine will be balanced, I'll continue with Vortex98 and LPG for small and large blocks versions.

I'll put my tweaks on my own "invisible" mod, superseeding some of your config, as I'll continue to use your mod (*NOT* reuploading!).

If you are interested, I could also come back to you once finished if you want to use my tweaks on your mod.

What do you think ?

Sigh.... after updating the description this stupid shit showed up in the mod

"This item is awaiting analysis by our automated content check system. It will be temporarily hidden until we verify that it does not contain harmful content"

Yeah whatever, if you had to wait ages to re-find the mod this is why .... Snowflakes need to be protected by pappy steam.

Yeah in the 09/06/2020 update it was changed, just didn't update the top part of the desc lol

oh thanks, i fixed the mistake. I think it used to be in asteroids then later with planets it was moved to planets only.

Visentinel [author]
Thank you for the reply! Though, I am left confused. In the mod description, 2'nd sentence, it says,

Quote, "With this mod you will find a new resource on the asteroids... (snip)"

Not in any asteroids, only on the planets i mentioned in the desc.

Dont know about your Q2, i never used those mods and i dont know what they do. Youll need to just find out by yourself =P

Q1: Is Shale only to be found on certain asteroids and (unmodded) Earth, Mars, Alien and Pertam? (The description seems to leave this vague and I want to be sure I did not misunderstand.)

Q2: Will ore distribution mods (such as those with "Easy Ore" or "Deep Ore" in the name) mess up the availability of Shale on such planets?

if you add the mods after the world has been created then what?

where do you find the shale oil?

the screenshots look soo ancient. hahah good update tho..

I noticed that LPG was removed? maybe? I have the tank and a LP gas gen in my game but don't see how to refine LPG. Any help would be really awesome thanks.

they would have to edit the mod. if they want to thats fine, just change the name and thumb.jpg when uploaded to workshop.

this is amazing mod, but one problem i saw on a server is that the engines are super effecent for their types and i was hopping if you could add a way for admins to reduce fuel efficentcy thank you for reading my requst

you can only add new nodes to asteroids, on planets you need to replace nodes but i only replaced a few and all resources that should exist still exist.

Does this mod replace existing ore, or add new nodes?

you can add it to current world and it will change the ores.

hello ! is this working with save or it must be a new world? and will it spawn only one node or like all other resours all over planet! The server is rovers only on petram so kinda very interested in how it works!

can you please as support for https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=406244471


if you can thanks!

Tested myself as well, working fine!

there is no issue, i have tested and everything is working as intended. Check your mods are not conflicting in some way.

@Bootius Maximus. You are not alone. The V8 Engines in my game also do not accept the fuel, but they do accept Uranium Ingots. I am playing in offline survival if it matters.

OH right and i forgot to mention,

I checked and the azimuth v8 engines are working perfectly fine.

they would wonder why you where asking a question if you already knew the answer.

i'm not mad, im astonished at how much of an ass your being... when i asked a simple question. But yes continue acting like you have no idea what's going on. or reread this and tell me exactly how your response would come off to anyone?

hahahaha
i have no idea how i managed to make someone angry without even trying, but this was great fun either way.

i'm shocked you were even able to create something at this point... typical internet kids.

🍑👈

seriously bro do you have some sort of issue? like no one here said anything to you and i was clearly just asking for help... no need to be such an ass for absolutely no reason

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i dont get your angle my guy, "thats a huge bummer" yeah it is thanks for being super chill about it lol

thats a huge bummer

sorry, i was seeing if i was the only one that encountered this, but yes it seems that when i create the fuel the v8 blocks dont recognize it.

are you asking?

azimuths engines dont seem to take the fuel?

I dont know

Will this mod and the biofuel production mod clash with each other?

its will work save game

its work save game? or i make new game

yes
