- Fixed Connection issues. There is no longer a gap when connecting as well.

It crashes as soon as i try to line my ship to connect to the one of the base.

Doesn't seem to work. I see people saying it locks about a block apart. Maybe I'm just bad. I can't get it to lock at all. Shame because I really like the concept of this mod.

I don´t know why but I can´t connect base and ship... it stays blue all the time.

the connectors lock about a block apart, so I can't walk between the two without using the jetpack

i get some warnings.
Thread: 1 -> Warning: Invalid triangle in \...\Models\ConnectorPort\MaglevConnectorDoorBase.mwm and the same warnings from the other Parts

I am having the same issue. The Connectors seem to not have a wide enough range of connection. It takes me a few minutes of adjusting the ship to even have the two detect each other, and when they do, they lock at about 1 block distance from one another, making them useless as an airlock.

for some reason when i try to connect these there is a block size gap i cant seem to get rid of

The connector uses electromagnetic attraction to create traction and locking, not magnetic levitation which using magnetic repulsion. This is how docking ports are expected to work in the near future with the AAReST docking system.
The main application of Magnetic Levitation or suspension is the use of magnetic force to counteract the effect of gravitation acceleration providing an upward force and overcoming frictional forces. Hence why the name MagLev has been used by certain train types that use the principles of magnetic levitation to hover and move forward via the use of a maglev actuator. This has been around since the early 1900s.
Maglev has also been proposed for launch vehicle systems for getting into space and many other applications such as a replacement for bearings in fan systems.
I think what your picking up on as "levitation" is where connector merging locks and doesn't appear to meet which is down to the game not an actual levitation effect.

я не сказал что мне не нравится ваш мод. очень даже нравиться . я могу снять видео для вас .когда я пытаюсь соединить ваш коннектор а он мне отвечает Disconnect . он не видит и поэтому нет ответа . а ваше видео я 5 раз пересмотрел у вас все классно получается . я начинал игру даже с нуля только одним вашим модом и результат тот же . благодарю вас что вы отвечаете своим подписчикам и работаете с ними .

@DarkLord - Magnetic levitation (maglev) or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. That is what the connector does.. Uses Magnetic fields to lock in place and dock a ship.

cool
DarkLord 28 Apr, 2021 @ 10:58am 
Looks awesome but you do know a Maglev is something totally different right?
Sargonnas  [author] 28 Apr, 2021 @ 6:29am 
посмотрите видео на YouTube, чтобы узнать, как настроить блоки
RuslanRV 28 Apr, 2021 @ 5:41am 
думаю может по правят . тогда и поставим у себя.
RuslanRV 28 Apr, 2021 @ 5:40am 
не знаю перепробовал все и все варианты . не стыкуются не как . в роди и красиво и в тоже время абсолютно бесполезная х.......нь . А вам как ?

Holy sprockets! This is awesome! I totally want to use this in a space port! :steamhappy:

I kinda got that feeling about the h2/o2 generator as well. It doesn't quite have the same finesse to it as the rest. Also, the name of it is confusing to the players on my server.
Sargonnas  [author] 27 Apr, 2021 @ 12:48pm 
Yea. I’m not happy with the model for the h2 generator. I may redo it.
jokerace45 27 Apr, 2021 @ 10:31am 
This mod looks a bit nicer than the other one. Very bright and techy.
AenesidemusOZ 27 Apr, 2021 @ 1:44am 
Fantastic! I just love the look of your mods. :steamhappy:
JD.Horx 26 Apr, 2021 @ 2:40pm 
great work, wonder why keen doesn't want us to have a vanilla version of this
Moss 26 Apr, 2021 @ 10:38am 
Damn. Is this real?

DLC. Sparks of the Future
kinngrimm 26 Apr, 2021 @ 6:06am 
The skin for the walls is that vanilla/dlc/mod and where can i get it :) ?
Anubis 25 Apr, 2021 @ 9:39pm 
Sounds good, love to see new mods for this game.
ArSole 25 Apr, 2021 @ 5:02pm 
jesus keep them coming bro!!!!!
Sargonnas  [author] 25 Apr, 2021 @ 10:26am 
I will enhance this mod over time. Also adding some new blocks for small grid and smaller large grid version.
Anubis 25 Apr, 2021 @ 1:34am 
@Stroichik yeah I'd have to agree, animations would go a far way even if it was something as simple as a fade in\out with a sound. Still l love the idea of a block based airlock and the ease of use via panels, the closes I have found to this it maintenance tunnels but the doors are really difficult to target.
Stroichik 24 Apr, 2021 @ 8:55am 
Design is very cool. Wish u could add some animation to open/close door, though.
black_dragon1230 24 Apr, 2021 @ 6:55am 
Your work is absolutely stunning and i cant wait to see more.
kufber 23 Apr, 2021 @ 8:50pm 
Loving your mods! Let's get SE out of the 20th century! It's like vanilla SE is still in the Apollo moon landing era. Ugh.
FormulaZR 23 Apr, 2021 @ 6:49pm 
Looks great!
ImperialHamster 23 Apr, 2021 @ 5:39pm 
Bro i cant wait.
Sargonnas  [author] 23 Apr, 2021 @ 5:38pm 
Thank you. @imperialhamster that’s the plan!
ImperialHamster 23 Apr, 2021 @ 4:30pm 
my gosh this is amazing, at this point just recreate everything in SE. it would make a sick sci fi mega mod.
Wacko71 23 Apr, 2021 @ 4:26pm 
You my friend are amazing. Models of your mods are inspirational. Lovin your work.
