Feature request: Disable Sound on the Block (by Checkbox?).
If not enough components are there the sound is still active the whole time, even when it doesn't do anything.
It only turns off if all stuff is welded.

I made a sound volumn slider available in terminal settings. Were you can set the volume from 0..100%.
That the sound doesn't stop, is by intention to show that there are still damaged/unfinished blocks. But I can think of using a different less annoying sound in that situation.

Heya D08, I have a request around your mod - could you add me on Steam so I can pm you? I've sent a friend request. Cheers mate.

Hi, got this yesterday and when I load my savegame, it shows the "Space Engineers Crash" window.
Might not be connected to this mod, but I think it is:

@Rantalunta I'm sorry but this exception is not from my mod. According to the names i guess it is the 'Nanite Control Factory' mod. Maybe you could post the log there.

well, after removing your mod from the list it worked again, maybe coincidently.
i built no nanite factory yet, but got the mod on the list.
not sure what happened excactly, but thx for the answer :)


do you plan on extending the mod to be able to set assembler production queue?

Rantalunta Queuing is allready possible. Please take a look at the Scripting section, there is also a link to an out of the box script that could be used for queuing. Hope this helps.

Hi again :)
I like your mod and its evolution.

I noticed if there is no Components for building, it also stops grinding, which is unfortunate since it could get the missing materials by deconstructing the painted blocks.

So suggested default behavior: If no Components available, look for things to grind (advanced: grind the blocks having the missing stuff first)

I would wish for a checkbox to set the block only to grinding or only to building.

Thx for your great work :)

This would collide a little bit, with the idea of building a projected grid and remove the connecting blocks between projector and grid after complete build.
But but your idea of having a checkbox to control the behavior, could do the job.
Let me think of it :-)

Ok, so one could make a ship factory.
Nice Idea

Please take look at the updated mod. You could now change the priority of grinding/welding.
Hope this meet your needs :-)

i think ive found a bug, when welding projection with BaRS it acts like its placeing a new block instead of remaking projected block so all the settings and grouped items are reset to defualt as a new block with new name

was playing with it and setting off warhead for it to fix and build from projection, and found this problem

Hi No-Life King,

've just re-tested it. And It works, all groups and block settings are taken from the blueprint.
And just have no idea what could cause your oberservation as the block calls exactly the same API-functions to create block out of an blueprint as the vanilla welder does. So maybe there is an other mod changing this behavior or you are doing something special. I'm sorry.

On a dedicated server, it would seem that only 1 person at a time have the build and repair options when you enter it. It could be random but so far it looks like that. The others have "Help others" as the last option they can configure, like we can't scroll down to see the rest

@Spenz yes I've been getting that problem too the help others is the last option and I cant set my decon color or the build color. worse I cant even change it from walk mode. :/
