@Nighthunter I think it would be possible, but I cannot remember from the top of my head which files need to be edited. IIRC you would need to edit the sbc files, but they may be out of date by a long shot. You can get the files from where SE downloads the mods when you subscribe to them in game (steamapps/workshop or common i think) and look over the text files. You can maybe ask ChatGPT or ask around on discord.

@Argual I know you qiut working on Mods but I have a related question. Can I change the max power of your rotors via the bin file and would you be willing to tell me what I have to change?

Is there another mod that is similar to this as I have been wanting to make a rotating tunnel in a space station I'm planning and I'm not having much luck?

Is there no one, that want to maintain this mod?
It's functioning well still, but recently the small grid version isn't useable anymore, because there is a message that "you do not have unloked the small grid version of Broad Advanced Rotor yet!"

Such a shame this is discontinued :(

Hey Daniel "Nero" Drake, When I try to use this mod it works fine in SP world. But on dedicated server is disconnects me from the server once i try to place the block. Did you have this issue?
Argual  [author] Sep 28, 2020 @ 1:51am 
Yes, you can ;)
Daniel_Nero_Drake Sep 27, 2020 @ 8:12am 
question can i pls put these rotors to my DHI technologies version 2 modpack i use them a lot XD for all that asks yes they still fully work until they change anything related to rotor mechanics they will keep working
chrishoule1366 Mar 16, 2020 @ 8:08pm 
love this mod can we get one rotor and bearing for each type that is just absolutly massive
BrianJ 1962 Feb 10, 2020 @ 11:57am 
Does this still work?
Xander Ein Jan 9, 2020 @ 7:04pm 
I have a ton of other mods installed in a world, meant to add this one to my game but forgot, and when I loaded in with it enabled and all other modded blocks had vanished
chrishoule1366 Dec 24, 2019 @ 8:23pm 
hey ive noticed the small grid bearing tends to colide with itself can we get the bearings slider for distance to slide both sides out
thecrazy13 Oct 16, 2019 @ 4:06am 
tbh I like the interior of the rotors just for the aesthetic, they look awesome for like a station hallway or something
χђєภ ಳ್oђรđαoภ Oct 8, 2019 @ 11:49am 
Better to have turrets on a ship
χђєภ ಳ್oђรđαoภ Oct 8, 2019 @ 11:49am 
Nice rotors :) it allows to let move items and beams in center. I have a request, Should be possible to have this rotors with square base ? to be airlocked, merge it with the rest of armor and just have the rotation ring on surface pls

AHH ok thx Argual
Argual  [author] Sep 25, 2019 @ 12:29pm 
Hi, I haven't played SE in a looooong time :D
You can access the rotors the same way you access vanilla rotors.
These aren't any different from them programatically, they just have different models and stats. Good luck!
Project Cenix Sep 24, 2019 @ 1:30am 
Hello Simon/Argual,

i hope you can help me.
I build some spaceships in space engineers. Now I want to introduce an automation, but the problem is that I want to work with the programmable block. Can you please tell me if and how I can access the rotors with commands?
caffiend Sep 5, 2019 @ 5:46pm 
Dantevalentinop, see the description section. The answer is no, they cannot be air-tight due to coding/bug issues
null_value Aug 10, 2019 @ 7:10pm 
is there any way you can make these air tight
Tristan Aug 10, 2019 @ 8:17am 
This mod is sadly not currently working, their is no ability to change the Torque and braking Torque from 0.
If anyone is able to fix this and reupload (tagging the author as co creator as per his instructions) until the original author is able to fix it himself it would be greatly appreciated.
By far one of the most needed things in space engineers especially when making turrets or giant moving rigs.
Long term fan, many thanks.
T4L0N57 Aug 10, 2019 @ 3:42am 
Does this still work, or does anyone know of a another mod like it?
Rysten Aug 9, 2019 @ 11:10pm 
@Argual, sweet, let's see if I can get enough free time away from designing to tinker :)
Argual  [author] Aug 9, 2019 @ 4:06pm 
Rysten Yup, as stated on my paged linked in the desc you can modify this, just tag me as co-creator when you finish uploading.
Rysten Aug 5, 2019 @ 7:34pm 
Argual, are we allowed to modify and reupload this? In particular I want to try and create a duplicate of the cube bearing in a medium conveyor size to use in rotor turrets.
Viny Jul 20, 2019 @ 1:03pm 
Torque and Braking are red and doesn't turn when powered for the large rotor. Anybody have an idea what's going on?
Hakase Jun 22, 2019 @ 10:41am 
Damn, 5x5x1 Wide Advanced Hollow Rotor have a big nice hole, but 5x5x1 Wide Hollow Bearing have only 1x1 corridor. Why?
plaYer2k Apr 4, 2019 @ 1:06pm 
You got a very sexy mod there, thanks!
As someone who loves rotors, i am a huge fan of them.

Any plans for an even bigger rotor, so one could build more variety inbetween? :-3

(I also reported the other mod theft, shame it came up for me first as well and only just lead me here due to that. Thankfully the comments were helpful)

Small suggestion/request:
3x3x3 square bearing (small block, large conveyor) Pretty please :)
Daz the Lemur Jan 26, 2019 @ 7:12am 
Okay, the problem is that full blocks and conveyors that are built on the outer connectors of the bearing base push the bearing ring out and cause it to stall. Maybe shrink the hitbox thickness of the bearing rings down a notch?
However I encountered another problem! Weirdly enough when I build a ship with a bearing on a planet at first it works (with atmo thrusters), but when I reload the save the ship starts to sink to the ground.
Daz the Lemur Jan 22, 2019 @ 2:02pm 
I have a problem with the small grid bearings. Each time I attach a block or conveyor to the rotating part of the bearing it glitches into the block and stalls. Unglitches and rotates when i remove any blocks attached to it. Any suggestion on how to fix it?
Audiacious Nov 8, 2018 @ 4:04pm 
any chance you can make some square base rather than simply round?? I am using the wide advanced and there are giant gaps in the corners lol. hopefully its relatively simple
Rukifish Oct 30, 2018 @ 2:19pm 
I have a problem with every rotors of the mod, I can only put the torque to 0Nm otherwise it's written in red and it doesn't work. Did I miss something ? :/
Audiacious Oct 30, 2018 @ 11:01am 
I'm trying to make a turret like in star citizen, with a bearing and a gunner that goes up into it. Problem is in star citizen they're airtight, any way you can make a bearing air tight?
HammerIII Oct 18, 2018 @ 8:47am 
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1541922126 uses your mod/program in the blueprint. If you dont allowed I will deleted it.
Argual  [author] Oct 14, 2018 @ 2:31pm 
Hi currently all my mods are on hold, for more see my page.
Argual  [author] Oct 14, 2018 @ 2:31pm 
Around 10x the strength of vanilla rotors (take the difference in number of block occupied in consideration also)
CloudX420 Oct 6, 2018 @ 11:12am 
Whats the strength on these? im trying to look for a much stronger 1x1 small grid motor. i made a mining ship with rotors and pistons but default rotors are not strong enough :/
CarmaGuy Oct 5, 2018 @ 8:22am 
I needed this so badly.. Thanks a Bunch!!
ARAURA Oct 4, 2018 @ 9:17am 
Textures I imagine, that's probably taking up the bulk of the space.
Beastion a.k.a der Nobbi Oct 4, 2018 @ 2:27am 
Why is this Mod so Big? Are you able to somehow reduce the mod size?
PenetrationStation Sep 25, 2018 @ 1:53pm 
Had some odd problem where i had two rotors spinning a armor flap, and when i reloaded my save, it merged the two rotors seperate grids? o-- gap --o that gap was like 0.5mm and then when i laoded there was no gap.. and the rotors stopped working..
ARAURA Sep 24, 2018 @ 7:29pm 
Or a 3x3 bearing ring?
ARAURA Sep 24, 2018 @ 5:09pm 
Is it possible to add a 3x3x1 large ring small grid verson (same size as the small head for this rotor)? So 15x15x15 ring that is basically the same as the 3x3x1 broad ring rotor.
Octavius Sep 2, 2018 @ 7:34pm 
could you add the 1x1x1 small rotor head to the G menu it would make dual rotor setups a lot easier to make
Eddy Sep 1, 2018 @ 3:33am 
Dude thats insane. Its working and there is plenty of strenght left. This is just great! Now we can build in uber large scale.
Eddy Aug 31, 2018 @ 4:16am 
Great, gonna test it out. Hopefuly its enough ^_^ Thank you. If it works it will unlock new builds people can do :)
Argual  [author] Aug 30, 2018 @ 3:40am 
I did it right after my comment. I hope 10x the force is enough, i dont want to overpower it any further tho.
Eddy Aug 29, 2018 @ 8:04am 
Thats super cool man :) No worry take your time :)
