BaR is still grinding rando blocks.
Just a heads up BaR is still grinding random armor blocks at random times. I see by searching I'm not the only one. I've been using this mod for years now but this is new to me though...

Setup: I have a medium asteroid station. I had a block disappear once before, I figured I took damage or accidentally painted it pink. No. I watched it happen the 2nd time (lucky). A different block in the same area just disappeared when I was looking right at it and vented all my O2. (Don't grind me bro!)

Love the mod, can't play without it. Never EVER had a problem with this until after the warfare2 DLC. I see others have had this problem in the past, but with all the mods I've used in the past I've never seen this before.

Best guess: One thought I had was it might be caused by a conflict w/ "Mirror in survival mode" mod. I had an "accident" (user error) while building the station where I'd placed several BaR blocks in mirror mode and as soon as I turned them on they started grinding all the BaR blocks I had already placed, plus other random stuff. After several re-loads of the save game I figured out that blocks placed in survival mirror mode don't have ownership set to "Me". I fixed it by making sure I owned everything. Perhaps, maybe, the armor blocks have a similar issue but different because of how armor ownership is different??? I've been using these 2 mods together for years though. Just a thought.

Hope this helps the next guy doing a search for this problem, or helps track down the problem. For now I'll just run off the janitor grind option until I need it.

Much Love to the author and Good Luck Engineers! :se:
