I am having the same issue. The port is a small size but the flares won't fit through a small port. =-/

I did some nosing around in the files. The issue appears to be (from what little I understand and what I have seen from other mods using missiles) that since the flare launchers are concidered missiles with missle ammo they will not fit through a small port, which the launchers use. So the flares can't fit into the launchers. The flares could be converted into bullets to make them fit through small ports but then they would only be cosmetic as the missile itself is what draws the attention of guns as a decoy. I think the only remedy would be to make the launcher a 3x3 with a medium size port for small grid and a 1x1 with a large port for large grid. Redesigning the models however is something that CMDBob would have to tackle as they have the original model data.

I have some more info on the flare launchers now. I have been poking around the mod and indeed they use a missile ammo type. next to that I think when he last worked on this mod this was WIP and just stopped working on the mod half way thrue making it function. as it does not have buildstates though the coding is there for them

Sadly I think that you are correct in that. It is clearly unfinished and it doesn't look like there will be any work done on it in the near future. It looks like the solution would be to upscale the launcher so that it is large enough for a medium sized conveyor port; I think that would get it to work but without the original files to edit I don't think that is possible without starting from scratch. That being said I doubt that it will be taken over either. I myself have no idea how to go about creating the actual models for SE. =-(

If anyone is looking for a way of getting them to work in survival. Build them by themselves, place the packs of flares into the launcher, then copy and paste it where you need it. Mind this only works if you have access to admin / creative tools.

Sadly that doesn't actually fix the issue. The ammo does not fit through small conveyors and so the launcher needs to be upsized to fit a medium conveyor port in the smallblock size launcher so it can fit the ammo through the conveyor to reload. Sadly, changing the ammo to something small enough to move through the conveyor changes the properties so that it doesn't work as a flare any longer.

I know it doesn't fix the issue. Doesn't change the fact that it's the only way of using them in survival. It's a work around as it doesn't seem the mod is being worked on at the moment. Unless you're willing to ask for the mod source etc and fix it yourself? I don't have a clue how to go about doing that.

Is anyone a modder and can they repost this finished

I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a two s***
