[Outdated/Dead] Minirotor - When smaller is better

Description
This mod enables the small block rotor (stator) for the large blocks in order to utilize the small-to-large rotor feature in less space.

This method and mod shall enable you to use small block structures on large structures like seeb in various videos online. But this time you wont need a bulky rotor (stator) but instead can do it with a much smaller base.

There is also an example map for this mod which has the setup from the video so you can easily check the feature out:
http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=304553436

In order to copy-cut just the entityBase (grid) you are targeting, you have to press Ctrl + Shift + C/X.

Right now the rotor has to spawn with a large rotor head (rotor) because there are two issues with how the game handles rotors. Though that will be fixed as soon as possible (the engine lets me to do that).
If i would spawn them without rotor heads, the rotors (stators) would not connect to rotor heads unless you reload the world.
Also it is not possible to spawn a small structure on top of a large one which disables me to take the copy-paste work off you.

Note: The rotor (stator) is also very fragile. Attaching a drill directly to it and letting it run will eventually destroy the rotor (stator) block.

@plaYer2k Can you update this please? I want to make small rotating spotlights to my base as alert lights or just to have only one light to light up one place and then another.
Also placing large rotor looks ugly sometimes and the end of it isn't airtight meaning it can't be placed to a wall of a building that's only one block wide. Hope you understand what I'm saying.

Heh sure, youse are welcome :3

I find that mod pretty useful myself and thus enjoy toying around with it on a daily basis for certain aspects.

Try poking the developers. They tend to be rather responsive. Artificial mass, for instance, was introdused shortly after they seen a gravity tram concept that used ore bits for mass.

Very nice idea and start, and I wish you good luck on perfecting it.
