[FIXED] Kodiak Fly-Through-Welder (& Grinder)

Description
This is a fixed version of the archaic mod that can be found here:
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=351311495

Adds wide-range welders and grinders designed for printing, deconstruction, or maintenance of (large) ships. The models are ugly because they still have the style from 2014 SE.

As should be clear by now, this is NOT my mod. I only fixed it, since placing any of these crashed the game. I patched it for myself a long time ago, but I’ve grown super tired of telling my friends how to fix it, as they DID crash if the block was placed unless they fixed it themselves, too.
Publishing the mod should get rid of these issues, and provide a version for others to use, as the original creator hasn't fixed this in over a year.

If the original owner of this mod wants me to take it down, I will.

Changes I made:
- Increased radius as the original radius seems to have been corrupted. Unless it was always that small and far...

- Fixed crash upon placement.

- Added some superconductors to the required building components. I figured a welder this powerful should have at least one expensive component for balancing reasons. It’s not really expensive in my experience, but at least requires a somewhat rare material: gold.

- Rebalanced total block mass.

- Added Grinder counterparts. (Affected objects still get force applied to them!)

- Added Block Variants.

- Fixed the blue background behind the flat welder icon.

- The flat version is now airtight.

They are essentially just vanilla welders with a larger radius. So you use them just like normal welders.
You put all those you've built in a block group and toggle them on/off with a button panel, sensor, cockpit hotbar, timer block, or whatever else.

Can we please have a tutorial on how it works and how to properly use & set up?

sorry. i tested my self. maybe my world is broken or welding power is overwhelming. the bug it is when i build welder in survival the building progress is not reach to functional level.

here is example.

add all components - > building Welder - > stop at 78% Or Lower

i try vanilla welding blocks but that block made same result.
Look like my world broken. sorry for take your time. thank you for answer my question.

I've made a test world to try the mod again myself, but as far as things go here, everything is fine. The world has the steam release of this mod as its only modification.
I was able to construct all blocks fully in survival and have them weld up a block. By all accords, things seem fine here.

You're saying you cannot construct the other blocks? As in you weld them with all the items ready but the progress bar just doesn't go above a certain point?

Try making a new world (empty loads the fastest) with just this mod to see if you're able to use them properly there. Just set it to survival and use ALT+F10 creative mode tools. Just place one down with the tools on, toggle the tools off again, grind it down and try to build it again from scratch. Then we know if the mod works fine on its own as it does for me. If it does, I guess you can tell me the mod list you run on your 'broken' save and I can try to see if it breaks for me with those as well.

i don't know why the welder can't build. Flat welder can be build but 81%. before update done well but now don't work. can i get a help?
Unsaved Changes  [author] 7 Jun, 2022 @ 5:38am 
@Thundermane, yes, that's the gist of it.
The vanilla welders and grinders project this orb-area in front of them in which their effect takes place. This (legacy) mod basically just adds welders and grinders that have had the size of that orb increased substantially, to the point you can envelop entire ships with but a handful of them. This area has no collision, but it can harm the player in survival mode when the tool is on.

If you use the Buildinfo mod, you can make this area visible to you while placing them.
