Modular Stations: Medium Hangar

Okay, fixed it.

Please remeber this Module dates back to the stone age of Space Engineers.
I started it with Saladin back in 2014.

So to keep it classic I didn't change any blocks, just tweaked some values.

Known issues so far:
1.
I had to set the pistons nonAxis max Impulse to a quite high 1 MN (20x the default value)
This leads to a 'Unsafe Grids" Warning.
I need those values to keep the plattform working (or had to redisigning the whole thing)

2.
You have to use the following valeus in the 'Advanced World Settings' menu:
Check 'Unsupported stations' (this avoids the spinning of the module)
Uncheck 'Enable Subgrid damage' (this avoids potential clank)

P.S.
Happy new Year.

P.P.S.
you have to add a powersorce before you can use the module ;-)

@idlecat @ekuah that video is all well and good but if the block your trying to import is widly spinning that video wont help at all like with the Large hanger for a start, only successful way i have managed is thrusters and maglocks and do a proper docking procedure.

Door doesnt open?

@volgraza, im having issues with placing this, it just starts spinning, so i cant place it close to where i want it and build between to connect it to the station, please help

A great mecanical design for the door, very good job.

@idlecat
This module (and all other of this series) were made well before the 01.084 update.
Back then there was no way to rotate a station. So all the modules had to be made as large ships. so you could rotate them into the right orientation before connecting them to a station block. (Explained it several times all over the different module comments)
About the connection of blocks there is a nice video made by Volgraza which shows exactly how to put the modules together (I had made several links to this video all over the comments)

It seems like this particular module was saved while it still had some velocity so now whenever I place it to attach it to my new station it starts drifting off into space. It's made this block unusable -- unless I'm missing something that could help me attach it?

Unrelated side note: I really could have used a video tutorial for how to get these modular pieces to "snap" together. It took me several hours of watching various unhelpful/out-of-date YouTube videos and trial and error before I accidentally figured out you can "grab" a module by a certain block (I always choose a conveyor block since those need to be connected to be useful) and cut/paste it onto another module in order for it to snap on.

Thanks for these, btw! They're super awesome!

mmm
ok

@theclucker
As I said in several other threads. You can't turn and rotate stations. So if I would publish the parts as stations, you wouldn't be able to change the orientation of module to add.
Several of the modules are not rotational symmetric. So I would have to provide up to 24 versions of the same module in different orientations. Just imagine how much the workshop would be flooded by that!!!

One possible way out, is that you create a "Station Root Block" where you want to place the modular station (You know that single, large light armor block, created with the "New Station" button in the G menu.)
After that you go into the Blueprints an chose the first module you want to use.
Now you can orientate this module and paste it (with Ctrl+V) onto the rootblock. It will be converted into a station itself. After this, the rootblock is obsolete and can be deleted.
Finally you can paste all the modules onto this now stationary root module.
Voilà: You have a fixed station.

and i like how it says 440 visitors and it has ober 1300 subs.
