Great alternative to building automation stuff inside hinges/rotors. Way more immersive, especially with the micro pb and timer (the 555 is so cute and tiny).

Btw the Hacking Computer has been updated as a new mod and currently can't be placed.

I just really wish that between this or attachments mod, one of them would make it possible to have the objects placed on it rebuilt in survival using a projector.. But the days of multi-grid projectors ... that mod doesn't exist anymore :(

If only it could also hold armour blocks... other than that, this is excellent!

Awesome!

Oh yeah thanks for the reminder =)
Updated with action relay, broadcaster and a few more blocks are allowed that fit the server rack theme (see change notes tab for all changes)

Good MOD, the same thing bothers me, putting the computers and timed blocks and events that take up so much is a waste, now we have to wait until you can also put the relay

yep ive been using the attachments mod for a while it rocks.

The "attachments" mod is the non-limited version of this (linked in description), use that if you really want mergeblocks and stuff :P

This is one of the most amazing ideas I have ever seen. Thoughts....you could make merge blocks allowed too, this would make a VERY simple way to build small ships or large ships, that doesn't require what it does currently.

Could also be a different mod obviously. But this is amazing eitherway!

Thanks for the quick response. Tried again just now after seeing your response and the download worked fine this time. No idea why the Keen server was having an issue at that time.

Love your mods by the way, really appreciate all your hardwork!

That's the first time I heard of something like that.
You could try on keen's discord server, maybe someone have seen this before and knows a fix. Ideally the help-for-community-servers one as they know the struggles, and include the client SE log too maybe it has hints.

For some reason, adding this mod to my server enters my personal client into a download loop that never ends. Even though the server downloads it just fine, no matter how many tries or restarts I just can't finish downloading this.

Oh, I forgot to install it :|
Sorry, I'm a dumbass xd

I can't find the electronics panel in the blocks list. Using the search bar also doesn't work. Could someone help me out?

Bloody good idea. I agree with your point re: the amount of space a small item 'fills' . This will be very handy indeed. Thanks for sharing your idea and effort. Cheers mate.

Is it normal for 4x4 version of the panel to cause constant rotation of the larger grid when surrounded by half panels? Was under the impression that the small version shouldn't be having any clipping

Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder :P I added all the new blocks to be allowed.

Great mod! Any plan to had the new event controller block to the list allowed to be place on the board? Thanks

I love this mod, but it seriously needs to be part of the base game now with all the controller blocks coming soon

I just wanted to say thank you for keeping this mod alive for so long! This little doodad is one of the most essential mods in my list! You rock!

@Digi: I have loved this mod from the beginning!
Any chance that we can get the full spectrum of colors on this... just like the other blocks?
Would love to blend this in with the surroundings.

@Sensational Being: I have gotten that when creative mode placing an electrical panel with a projection in the same space. The block places, the game won't spawn the 'rotor head' portion with the projection in the road.

As soon as I turned off the projection, the whole block placed properly.

This works fine with the Warfare II update. I'm just running one generation older. Cheers.

Link (or DM on steam or discord, Digi#9441 ) your SpaceEngineers.log from %appdata%/SpaceEngineers (sort by date) from when you tried the mod.

My blocks look like this: https://ibb.co/7tVxhtf

I don't know what's wrong.

Sure, added.
Mind that the smallgrid one has a smaller max range :P

Is there a plan to add support for the Custom Turret Controller? It's pretty electric.

OK, got it. Thanks for the clarification.

While placed on this electronics panel? It's a different grid (it's a rotor), and mmaster's script doesn't look past the same grid by default. See its guide for changing that, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=407158161 at the "LCDs that are connected using rotors, pistons or connectors are not updating?" part.

Sorry I wasn't clear. Micro Programmable block and doesn't seem to run program to lcds(Specifically, MMaster's LCDs2).

What do you mean with MP block?
And by not functioning you mean it doesn't get placed, the HUD notification should tell you why :P Also the description has the full list of block types it allows.

My MP block doesn't seem to function on the panel, regular placement of the MP works fine. SP offline.

Ugly, but functional.

Sounds like a problem with the subgrid projection mod instead, since they're the one spawning the clangy part.

Found why. When projecting the electronics panel, there is two top part klanging in each other. I disabled my projector, welded the top part in place and enabled the projector again and no top part was added twice. Btw, I'm using the sub-grid projection mod.

The panel kills me when approaching the corner :/

thankyou :)))

Updated to fix some clangyness caused by some changes in latest game update.

Also made attach action actually work by implementing custom logic for it.

(i already posted these things but they seem to have disappeared to me so sorry if youre seeing this twice)
a few things:

a feature request, could it be possible to be able to attach and detach the electornics panel from the base part? this would be incredible useful for moving timer etc systems from one grid to another

a bug report, when the panel is placed on another subgrid, when trying to place things on that subgrid, while not on the electronics panel its self, i get the message stopping me from placing things other than timer blocks etc...

This would also make it far far easier to transfer systems from one place to another if you know what i mean, which is kinda how i got into this predicament

feature request: be able to detatch and atatch the different parts like a rotor, like the base part and the green, small grid pard, this would really save me from having to remake a fairly complex system of timers and stuff i somehow got detatched from the base

Hey Digi, I know others have said this, but I feel it's worth repeating; this is one of the best mods on the workshop.. Its simple beauty has allowed me to add literally hundreds of on-off operations to even the most modest of large grid ships. Thank you so much. Without this mod, my fleet would completely crumble.

Without more controlled tests on your end and without logs or worlds there's nothing for me to do here.

I tried it on every configuration you mentioned and it simply does not happen.
I can only assume that it's the game or your machine getting coicidental memory leaks and you jumping to conclusions because of it.

server side non-dedicated

I tested on my local DS and don't see any issues, looking at RAM it doesn't move much.
Does anyone else in that server experience the same as you? Or is this memory hog and crashing happening server side?

works in sp but in mp it almost instantly eats all that memory and se crashes......

i have tried to see what it is that is causing it but can't really tell

I don't see how it's possible for this mod to cause that.

In multiplayer lots can happen, test it in SP in an empty world with just this mod.

WARNING

THIS MOD IS BROKEN

this mod will instantly EAT 16gb of ram and 6gb of video memory once you place one of these blocks in game......(multi player game)

Understandable, these were generally to be hidden in a service corridor and they are purely for the timers & other instruments so the ticking timer / server room doesn't have to exist.

Looking forward to anything else you put out that allows us to use small blocks in a large grid.

This should work fine in MP as long as you understand that blocks are larger than their visual representation and if you use the 5x5 and place blocks at the edge and also have a largegrid wall next to them, they will make clangy sounds.

The 4x4 one should have no such issues (unless ofc you build outwards too much and collide with a wall that way :P)

Clang can happen even without mods so it's always a good idea to have backups and a server that is aware that the game is physically flawed and clang can strike at any moment xD
