I have all the materials, but I can't make the door.
There is no separate error code.

Same issue, no error message, character walks up to the gate equipping the propane torch and welding rod then does nothing

I'm trying to replicate this problem, but got no success.
I really don't know what causes it, it's probably something related to the TimedAction being cancelled because is not valid.
Try unequip all current items and let the option equip then for you.
What I can say is, for the "install" option to work, you need equipped:
  • The Propane Torch in your primary
  • The Welding Rods in your secundary
  • A Welder Mask in you head
  • The Gate needs to be closed
If any of these things is not true, the action will just suddently stop. Maybe the problem for you guys is there
Hello, I have encountered the same problem:

Managed to craft the motor and controller but can't seem to install it on a double metal wired door. Tried on a wooden one as well and doesn't work.
My character just takes out all the relevant materials then stalls.

After investigation, I found that the mod "The Workshop" (ID:2680473910)has modified the Vanilla item welder mask to prevent it from working properly.I hope you can add compatibility with mod "The Workshop", thank you for your efforts.

I try to insert the car battery but it doesn't work even I have 3 types of battery.
However, I play with my local language not in English. I'm not sure if this is necessary.

Hmm interesting, I'll try to look into what "The Workshop" changes about the welder mask and fix it.
Thanks for the feedback!

Is the container with a "padlock" in the icon? That means that it is locked, you need to unlock it before inserting any batteries. If it's not working still, maybe some mod you're using is messing up something
Language should not be a problem.

Do you play on a server? In the last update, the ModID got changed without intention, so I changed it back.
If the ModID is not corrected on the server, it will not work properly

I play solo so I find it weird that the gate doesn't load correctly

Weird, I checked after the update in my test save and worked fine.
Maybe if you loaded with the wrong ID, the mod will be considered disabled and the items/gate will disappear.
Maybe you will need to cheat back the items and cheat build the gates again, sadly :(

I finally had to go into debug mode to solve the problem, I don't know if it was due to the last modification you made or if it was some error from PZ itself, but I even deleted the mod and reinstalled it thinking that it would work like that but not even that but the The only solution for this problem is to enter debug mode and build everything again, the good thing is that when you destroy the door it gives you the batteries that were inside so at least that is not lost
