Not sure if this mod is still getting updated but the area welders crash my game any time I try to place one down. Everything else seems to work though, so all in all really great mod!

yes ditchvider75 the mod still works. at lest for me it does

Is this mod still working?

Does anyone know if a O2/H2 Generator will be added. The devs on this game screwed up the one that comes with the game so bad that the Generators would work hardly at all. So anyone that uses the old O2/H2 generators are screwed. I need ones that work.

the area welder crashing is nothing to do with this mod and cant be fixed by the author just saying its an issue to do with the base game and how it handles welding and the large area welded doesnt agree with the engine

Also there's one place in particular at the bottom of the XL Refinery, if you are looking at the 'Refinery' logo on it, then it's the bottom left side from there, it won't let you attack anything to that directly, you have to like, put something under it.

This mod needs to be fixed. Is it even supported anymore? I'm guessing not since people have been complaining about the area welder crashing their games since August at least.

But just in case it is, the Refinery needs to be fixed. It's definitely NOT 10x faster like this says. It takes up 10x the space, and requires 10x the power, but I did a quick test.

I put 10k Cobalt Ore in a normal Refinery, and 10k Cobalt Ore in an XL Refinery. I let them go until the normal Refinery had refined 1k Cobalt Ore. In this time, the XL Refinery Refined about 3.2k ore. So it's about 3x as fast, not 10x.

Both the Refinery, and XL Refinery had 4 Speed Modules, and they were both fully powered.

Yeah bro that welder makes for fast production of torpedoes and the large assembler is perfect for large production facilities.

Area welder now makes the game crash when placing the block. Hope to see some updates from you soon. Love your mod.

Are the XL assemblers not able to craft high tier tools anymore?

I'm having the same issue as @BeowulfSP I used to really enjoy the area welder.

hey i always use this mod, its so handy but recently i have some troubles with the area welder, when i try to place it i get kicked from the game
and this is only with the welder, the rest works just fine

The work around was fairly simple. @Tohron, if you'd like the code I would love to share it with you so you can patch the original version. Until then, my version is functional: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1490830266

I haven't had any problems so far. Then again, I haven't used the area welder yet. I'm going to switch to Sevnn's updated version anyway, since it seems like it would get some improvements.

I'm seeing the same issue @Tau. Working on a work around now.

Warning: as of (1.187.203 Mod: Update #3) Area Welders cause stations (And possibly large grids) to be deleted on game load! The game also crashes when trying to place area welders.
Everything else seems to work though.

Please update and add the area welder for small ships, really useful for drones and quick repair without using large grids in survival SP

please update the mod.

I get "Mod Critical error" in debug menu for single player, In multiplayer, I cant see any of the mod items, names or blocks but everyone else can?

It is possible to add welders a check of the intersection of welding areas? that on one area only one worked at one time. or refused to work

Would love to see a texture update. This mod is nice for making a production room. I wish the refineries were a little smaller in height so I din't need as tall on room for them. I'd lay the over but doesn.t save me any room if I'm trying to make one for every ore...

Love the area welders, a life changer!

Hi, is there any chance this could be updated to bring it in line with the texture style of the updated models? because these blocks kinda stand out as obviously different, whereas with the old textures they didn't.

İ have a texture bug.how can i solve this problem.

Having an issue with the Area Welder, it won't place and weld valid projector blocks. I can place them by hand and it will complete fine however. Anyone else have this issue?

Having the same problem as Griffy. Starting to get really anoying having to rebuild the thing 4 times a session.

Has anyone else had problems since the latest update with their refineries exploding after a certain amount of time? I've tried three times to construct a large XL refinery, and on all three occasions the refinery has sat around for about an hour then just suddenly exploded from full health with no sudden cause, built on a solid moon base so no motion to screw it up. no loose parts, shielded base to resist impact damages and encased in an armoured enclosure.

i cant seam to put any ingots like iron gravel adn any else for that matter inside the XL assembler...

Nice mod even if I am only using the Giant dense cargo and the refinery. I would love to see one industrial stone crusher and one industrial Gravel sifter out.

resently i join a friends server who has your mod loaded. When i join in i cant see any of your mods objects and anything conntected to them is show as haveing no conntection of power. i have tryed everything from un and re subbing to the mod to verify game cache and nothing works. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=935164918 this is an image of what i see , the XL assemble on the left and teh XL refinerfy on the right. Any info on what might fix this is would be very help full.

Hi Mr. Mod Maker just wanted to let you know we love your mods. We have however found that your XL solar panels arent prioritizing power gains and power usage with the base correctly. So to explain, the solar panel should be outputting maximum when sun is out and needed, but instead it's prioritizing reactors and batteries over itself. It also seems that it's not currently able to output it's total maximum power output at all, at anytime. The XL Ore detector also literally drops our server sim speed immediately as it is placed and it continues to affect the server very negatively if the block is even existing anywhere on the server. I'm talking from a perfect 1.0 sim speed to 0.3 and below. I have to completely disable the block itself due to how much it negatively affects our servers sim speed.
Thank you again for your hard work, and I hope that this can be of some help to you. Good luck and thanks.

Are you planning to do a model rework at any point in time ? Would love to see this revived in the new block style

make the reinforced drill work, please

Hi guys! Area welder should not crash the game anymore after todays hotfix! Thank you!

Hello. After the last update of space engineers, using the area welder, the game crashes.

I just use the containers It seems to be the only thing still working

Do they work?

XL Assembler нет работает

So i'm having an issue with the refinery and assembler. They are both acting as if they are switched off but the control panel says it is on yet the lights are red on them. No matter how much power i put through the station the status wont change. They wont accept any resource i try to put into them either.
A little help or explanation please?

@Jokerace45 so any time the twin welder welds gyros it causes a crash? But the Area welder does not?

Yea, I have used those welders extensivly and enjoy them very much. But in the info down below about gyro welding and game crashes that mod has been put away for now and discontinued from useage. As an acceptable replacement I have been useing the Tiered Ships Tools Mod.

But I have also allways enjoyed this Area Welder. It works most excelently as a static industrial welder as intended. Anyware from six to twelve of those in a "welding hangar" can build pretty much any common ship.

@jokerace45 This may suit your needs:

Have you ever thought about separateign the Area Welder and making it a Mod all by itself ?

The update included some changes for the drill parameters the reinforced drill is useless until the author updates it.

Not sure what happened in the beta update, but the reinforced drill did not collect ore for me last night. They turned on and right clicking destroyed ore as usual, but it did not collect when left-clicking. The normal drills worked fine.

Since the new update 1.157 i think there is an issue with this mod. My game runns very sable with this mod until the game update 1.157 comes. Now with the XL Reffinery and Assembler my running my game freeze permanently.

this is exactly what i needed !!!

@Tohron
Been using this mod since first created.. absolutely love it on motherships / stations.. but I still have 1 niggling complaint: Any chance you could slice down the collision on the Solar panels to the actual size of 1/5th a large block? Otherwise it's always been exactly what I need! Thanks for this mod, Tohron!

Use this instead:

author has not responded in comments since January... probably abandoned mod.
