Small conveyer tubes are still missing.
How are we supposed to run oxygen on our small ships without small conveyer tubes?

Can't place Small Conveyor Tube anymore
Since the last two updates when I try and place a Small Conveyor Tube it appears as a large one and can not be connected. Anyone else having this issue? I have found no post about it.

Also worth mentioning I was playing in survival mode, and was indeed working on a small ship.

Look for my post about missing blocks on the general page.

Same for you. Go see my post about seemingly missing blocks. on the general page.

This blew my mind at first as well. I just found this googling for the same thing.

After some playing, It's under the "Small conveyer" if you scroll the mouse wheel when it's selected.

I am having the same issue. For example the curved conveyor tube. I can only get a large and medium size. I cannot get a Small Curved Conveyor Tube, although i can see them on the prebuild ships. Yes I have used r. R takes large to medium. I cannot get it to the size that would fit the side of the drill port for example. I have tried the mouse wheel as well. Maybe it's just not obvious but I cannot get the small conveyor tube or curved tube and r does not help.

HI Voice From Beyond, it's not a bug, it's an update.

You have to hit ''R'' to switch Mode Large/Small and use the mouse wheel to select the hidden blocks for the blocks having a ''+'' icon.

Forum TIP :LitLightBulb:

Always use the search tool of the forum before adding a new bug report to avoid duplicates.

*There is a lot of threads about the missing small tube. :Finger2:

That works great when I have large blocks selected, the mouse wheel cycles through all the different conveyer blocks, however, when I choose small blocks (R) the mouse wheel does nothing and the only choice I have is Medium Conveyer tube.

FYI, mouse wheel works with small block wheels and other blocks.

Hi Voice From Beyond, you have to hit ''R'', hit ''G'', drag and drop the small convoyer to your toolbar, select the small convoyer and use the mouse wheel to select the small tube. :fix:

Before this update I had to prepare my toolbars (9) before working and now with the new sys I just need 1 toolbar, well maybe 2 and I have all my Fav blocks ready. :fix:

use R not the mouse wheel, doh

Ok, I see now. Instead of selecting the actual block labeled conveyer tube with the +, I have to select the small coveyor junction and use the mouse wheel to get the different small tubes.

That means when I am looking at small blocks on the G menu, the + sign on the conveyer tube is misleading, because there is only 1 option, medium conveyer tube.

It also works completely opposite when dealing with large blocks. The mouse wheel on the large conveyer tube cycles through large conveyer tube, curved conveyer tube, and large conveyer junction, whereas, large conveyer junction cannot be cycled.

I'm not sure having that inconsistant usage between large and small blocks makes the game more intuitive. What's wrong with having the cycle option attached to the medium coveyer tube giving both medium and small tube options? Why not have the cycle option attached to the large coveyer junction to provide consistancy?

Okay, lisen, no one else is any help, I know this has nothing to do with the current chat thing, but how do I use mods? like ship mods? I installed a ship that was really cool, it's not a subscribed world, and I have no idea how to spawn it, can anyone in here help?
SpectralWolf Sep 15, 2016 @ 12:03pm 
Hmm. Well thanks. But luckily I figured it out.
