Love how you lads beg for updates on a mod that hasn't been touched in 5 years

Was the code kosher?

@author - may i have permission to revamp and update this mod to current?

@MaverickMartyn, Is this mod still being maintained?

Is there a rough release date for the ship tool?

Love the Mod 1 Problem i have i cant craft the Soil or Tool.

Is it possible to update this tool with the other soil types? Particularly the Earthlike soils without grass and the new Pertam soils.

Love this mod, but recently it ive been noticing camera issue in game and tracked it all the way down to this mode. It breaks beds, custom seats and the new rover seats. The Concrete tool mod does not seem to cause the issue, perhaps you could check to see what they updated?

I don´t find the gun to place the voxel
Herrion 6 Sep, 2020 @ 12:19pm 
@Tassi You can still build it in the Basic Assembler.
Chaos_02 30 Aug, 2020 @ 10:12am 
still updated? I'd love to have support for custom voxels and a code update
Tassi 7 Aug, 2020 @ 9:17pm 
mod not showing in assembler and doesnt place the soil

Is there any chance this mod will be updated other than thankyZ's update? I'd like to subscribe and have it autoupdate whenever there's an update to the mod rather than having to work out how to copy in mod files. The mod looks amazing. You can make biodomes on asteroids or planets. That's fantastic. Thank you!

tool not in menu, where do you get the tool?
Aggressor 23 May, 2020 @ 12:33pm 
Thx mate. I was using it on creative mode and all was works fine. I will give it a try bicouse im tired of meteor rain bullshiterry. My base area looks like Warsaw after german invasion.
Darian Stephens 23 May, 2020 @ 6:08am 
I wouldn't advise using this; it's severely outdated, especially compared to the original mod it was based off, Digi's Concrete Tool.
That said, if you insist on using this and not the updated version in the comments below, you can likely find it in the Basic Assembler; that's usually where the production options for mods predating the Survival Update end up.
Aggressor 23 May, 2020 @ 2:39am 
How to get that tool, it is not in the assembler menu production.
MaverickMartyn  [author] 2 Apr, 2020 @ 10:09am 
@thakyZ I read your message on Discord, and I will get around to checking out your code as soon as I can.
@niels2398 In the meantime, if you want, you can download his release from Github and use that.
It should be easy enough. Just copy all the files to a new folder in the Mods directory.
Thank you again for your patience everyone.
niels2398 2 Apr, 2020 @ 9:14am 
I'd love to be able to use thakyZ's version with the snow
Neko Boi Nick 30 Mar, 2020 @ 5:36pm 
Here are my changes: https://github.com/thakyZ/SoilTool
Feel free to include them!
Neko Boi Nick 30 Mar, 2020 @ 5:34pm 
@MaverickMartyn Hey I fixed your mod, at least with the animations, and I did fixed some deprecated code. I also did a few lines of code additions to allow the placement of Ice, which an ammo type crafted from ice.
PixelatedDrake 24 Mar, 2020 @ 10:44pm 
Glad to hear you are looking at getting this updated! If/when you do, any chance you can add Snow to the list of placeables? With the recent addition of Triton, my snowy bases need to be covered in snow!
MaverickMartyn  [author] 21 Mar, 2020 @ 8:57pm 
Hello everyone.

I have not been actively working on this for a long time.
Due to the current self isolation situation, I might have time to give it an update.
Honestly, I do not expect to be working on the ship version anytime soon. I will however try to get it updated.
Thank you everyone for your patience. I'm sorry that I'm not more active. My apologies.
Darian Stephens 2 Dec, 2019 @ 11:44pm 
I don't really expect this to be updated any time soon; the last update was 3 Oct, 2017, and the original Concrete Tool has been updated many times since then.
Honestly, while it's very nice to be able to do something like made a biosphere on Mars with actual grass, this mod could be so much better.
kullen 2 Dec, 2019 @ 5:07pm 
This can only be built in the survival kit for me
Garrick 21 Nov, 2019 @ 2:01pm 
very cool mod thanks a lot
Diego 14 Nov, 2019 @ 12:32pm 
any News of a ship tool version? I would really love to create roads! Hope you get the time at some point to test it out. Best wishes have a nice day :)
xXPinkFloyd92Xx 27 Oct, 2019 @ 11:23am 
@enenra I also get strange animation issues I was able to unsub to this mod and this fixed my issues
enenra 26 Aug, 2019 @ 3:55am 
Hi
Installing this mod currently breaks various animations, such as walking sideways and climbing ladders. Problem is that they stay broken until I restart the game - even if I remove the mod after. Even breaks them in completely vanilla saves until I restart.
MaverickMartyn  [author] 15 Jun, 2019 @ 3:19am 
Hi again guys. Life is busy, so I'm finding it hard to find the time for this. I'll see what I can do these upcoming days.
@Vas Thank you, I'll get it fixed when I have time. The buttons are just images with links.
Thank you all for your patience.
BeafSalad 16 Mar, 2019 @ 10:24am 
Found a solution to the tool not showing only in the basic and survival assembler.
Change the BlueprintClassEntries for the Blueprint_SoilTool in the Blueprints.sbc file to be class EliteTools.
<Entry Class="EliteTools" BlueprintSubtypeId="Blueprint_SoilTool" />
Will now only show up in the assembler.
Vas 15 Mar, 2019 @ 11:19am 
Your "Follow and Donate" thing is broken, going to a workshop page that doesn't exist. :P How did you get that there anyway?
Gilbert387 9 Mar, 2019 @ 4:10pm 
The soil tool is craftable in the Basic Assembler but the bag of dirt is craftable in the Assembler
MaverickMartyn  [author] 9 Mar, 2019 @ 2:24pm 
I'll look into it now.
I will likely rebase it off of the latest version of Digi's Concrete Tool, as to benefit from the updates he made. I will also be adding more Soil Types, and I will try looking into making a ship version of the tool.
Aelek 5 Mar, 2019 @ 6:21am 
Confirming the soil tool is no longer craftable ffrom the assembler as far as I can figure out. The concrete tool still is - perhaps there is a solution to be found in that?
Darian Stephens 3 Mar, 2019 @ 9:59am 
Yeah, it's weird. A lot of mod-added tools no longer show up in the assembler, with the exception of ones updated for it.
Arch 3 Mar, 2019 @ 8:13am 
Just found this mod. Looks great, but having a problem. After loading, my G menu shows the Soil tool but there is no item in the Assembler (on any tab) to craft one. This is a world I have played for a couple hundred hours, with progression turned off. I can craft the Dirt Bags with no problem. Is there something additional I need to do? Or maybe the survival update changed something? I have been using the concrete tool (I think this one was based on) with no issues. Any pointers are appreciated.
DogwaterGaming69 3 Mar, 2019 @ 5:21am 
any possibility of getting a block that places voxels? so combined with the daily needs mk4 it would be possible to make farms
DeAnti 28 Feb, 2019 @ 8:33am 
Right same thing Darian said..and you be surprised how many people aren’t aware of this mod and Digi mod I’ve been playing since 2013 so there is a lot of mods people miss even my self just tryin to help out
Darian Stephens 27 Feb, 2019 @ 11:35pm 
What problems? I went through three pages of comments and only came across one issue, which has been fixed.
There are more features, since it's been updated more recently, so there's probably less bugs than this, if there are any.

That's not to say this mod ain't good; as a derivative of the original going beyond the intended single use (Concrete), it's a great addition.
amsedal 27 Feb, 2019 @ 3:49pm 
Yep, thanks Deontay...I’ve seen it, I just haven’t tested it because of its known problems and comments. I should probably try it out myself...I am really looking forward to the other earth-type voxels, brown earth-dirt especially... the others would be good as well…I totally understand a busy life – I m patient 😊 – good luck to you!
MaverickMartyn  [author] 27 Feb, 2019 @ 11:56am 
@Deontay I think most people are aware, considering he OK'ed this and I credited him both in the description, and the sidebar. :)
DeAnti 23 Feb, 2019 @ 11:16am 
@amsedal if you want concrete use OG mod by Digi
Dying Dark Star 11 Feb, 2019 @ 8:30pm 
@MaverickMartyn alright thank for the response its nice to know its not dead
amsedal 11 Feb, 2019 @ 3:17pm 
No prob .. I m doing some building on the planet and it would be so nice to have rock and dirt! :) I appreciate your time and effort though .. this is a GREAT mod!!
