Base In A Box
Glass filled constructions bug
Hey,
first big thanks for this amazing mod!

But I have problem. I copied parts of an apex lab complex (FU) and when i try to build it, it just spawns the copied blocks and fills the empty spaces with glass and the spawner notifies "unanchored" as error.

I already checked the log file. Nothing.

And somehow, sometimes the building spawns properly... but that is like one in 50.

Smaller uncomplicated parts are working perfectly.


Additional Infos:
I've worked with two more complicated room (with wich i have the errors so far)
one big ~100x100 blocks
one medium ~50x50 blocks
Both have water and filled chests

Ive already managed to spawn the big room three times (no luck with the medium one so far)
two times without the water and one time exactly the way i copied it.
the three spawn locations where: underground (overwriting false print), underwater and empty space (cleared with console)


If you have any Idea what it could be or what else i can try to find the reason for the error, i would be grateful. I really like the mod and I'm going to have incredibly much fun with it. That means if I can find out how to use it properly.

Someone else had issues with FU buildings and it turned out they had platforms placed in the background - you can apparently do that when editing a microdungeon in Tiled but when the printer tries to place them in-game it just hangs, so that'd be my first instinct.

Can confirm that it is the platforms and I am in contact with members of the FU team about fixing the issue, great mod, keep it up ;)

Thanks for the answer.
The strange thing is that it spawned a few times correctly. I managed to spawn the medium scan on my ship (BYOS from FU) but again it seems that it was just a coincidence.

But enough of the whining, i have an idea to solve the problem. I tought about modifying the object file we can extract from the log file.

As far as I understand "layoutTableBackground" : {...} contains all the information of the background with "row" : {"column" : block }. And the corresponding blocks come from "blocksTable" : {...}.

The thing is, this is my "blocksTable" : {
"miab_scaffold" : 4,
"concrete" : 15,
"smoothmetal" : 6,
"apexshipsupport" : 8,
"copper" : 16,
"modernplatform" : 9,
"icegrass1" : 3,
"frozensand2" : 1,
"snow" : 17,
"magnesium" : 2,
"hazard" : 13,
"glass" : 11,
"ironblock" : 10,
"cloudblock" : 12,
"coal" : 5,
"apexshipdetails" : 7,
"sand" : 14
},
And as far as I can tell modernplatform is the only platform and it did not occour in the backgroundtabe.


Any further Ideas? Did I missed something if I want to replace the blocks?
Can you maybe tell me more about the "unancored" error? Does it come somewhere from the game or did you programmed it into your mod?

I am kind of eager to solve this problem, so as long you can throw ideas at me where to look I'm willing to search for a solution for that problem

It's probably the sand then - if the sand blocks aren't supported, the printer might get stuck in a loop of placing them, having them fall out of range and trying to place them again. Maybe.

Hmm. could be. I'll do some experiments and keep you informed ;)

Im having issues I dont know if its mod conflict, this or other main requierd mod, but when I do copy/print or print one of these the background blocks dont print.
Dr Knifegun MD  [developer] 24 Jul, 2018 @ 12:18pm 
Does the printer just not finish printing (all the glass blocks remain)?
Brewdog 3 Aug, 2018 @ 10:03am 
sorry late reply the glass and printer vanish the only background blocks that get printed are the ones that have front block
Dr Knifegun MD  [developer] 3 Aug, 2018 @ 3:12pm 
Can you take a screenshot of the building you're trying to print (assuming the original is still standing somewhere)?
Lady Sorcia 3 Aug, 2018 @ 3:52pm 
There is a limit on how big something can be before your computer gives up and stop loading it, it was an issue that I had too. I forgot I was subbed to this thread until it picked back up and I remember what happend. It could also be a concoction of mods adding containers and items that can't be coppied (Do to memory limitations), clear all lights, items and objects from the thing you are moving and it should work just fine.

As you can see one on left is before scan one on right is after print
Dr Knifegun MD  [developer] 5 Aug, 2018 @ 3:51am 
It shouldn't really be able to print anything floating like that, try connecting the building to the ground and see if that helps. Also, if it abandons the print because it can't place any blocks there should be a noise and a message like "unanchored".
Brewdog 5 Aug, 2018 @ 12:55pm 
Ok im such a Idiot I found issue I was having and its kinda stupid, Its not a mod conflict or anything its cause im a cheater and useing a trainer that has option to instantly destroy blocks and when that option is on it destroys the background blocks sorry to waste your time
Dr Knifegun MD  [developer] 5 Aug, 2018 @ 1:18pm
