About Advanced Welding - detaching and reattaching blocks!

From Steam Workshop

This mod adds 3 things: Weld Pad block (for smallship and largeship/station) Ultra-slim and cheap merge blocks that are only usable once because they get destroyed in the merge process. Also unlike…

This mod adds 3 things:

  • Weld Pad block (for smallship and largeship/station)
  • Ultra-slim and cheap merge blocks that are only usable once because they get destroyed in the merge process.
  • Also unlike mergers they don't have a magnetic ability but they do inform nearby friendly/neutral engineers of the alignment when a pair of these blocks are in range of each other.
  • Detach Mode (for handheld grinder)
  • When holding a grinder you can hold Ctrl key or Left Bumper to enter detach mode (releasing will turn it off).
  • While in that mode you won't grind off any components but you can detach blocks.
  • The time it takes to detach a block is the same amount of time it would take to grind that block to red line with your current grinder tier.
  • You can only detach friendly or neutral blocks, of any type.
  • Precision Grind (for handheld grinder)
  • Grind only a specific block when you have way too high grinding speed that prevents you from easily doing so.
  • Hold SecondaryAction (RMB or gamepad equivalent) while aiming at a block with a hand grinder.
  • This will cause your grinder to only grind that targetted block and nothing else (even after that block was fully grinded), the effect will release once you release the keybind.

Known issues

- Attaching to pistons can cause self-spin issues because of the large gap in jump. For now can be avoided by making pistons go up to the already fully-extended platform held by one piston, or fixed after the fact by fiddling with pistons' velocity (remotely, antenna required) so that they line up they're intended position with the actual position of the top part. - [FIXED] Detaching rotor/piston/wheel/hinge bases will also disconnect them from their tops. - [FIXED] Use only 1 pad per grid when attaching, using multiple can cause errors in the game code.
