@Red Blood Cell, Just FYI, Square Catwalk Diagonal Base Right is not in the mouse scroll wheel group of the Square Catwalks. The left one is, but I'm guessing the right one got lost in the sheer number of blocks in this awesome mod. There's always one that manages to get lost isn't there? lol

Came for the ladder caps, stayed for the ship stairs. PHENOMENAL mod, I love it so much. Thank you!!

Not able to connect to ladders with F key. Just drift off with "arms akimbo" when W or S keys are used. Anyone else having problems with this (once wonderful) mod?

Still floored that his isn't vanilla thanks for making this mod

Considering that the author might be done modding, temporarily or permanently, maybe someone should make a submod for this mod with a few extra catwalk pieces, like the one I suggested.
I'd do the work myself, but I am pure crap at making custom objects.

@RedBloodCell - great mod! Not sure if you're still around, but could I have your permission to publish an unlisted version of this for my private server?

These need to be added to the base game. They fill every single missing variant imaginable!

I wonder when that update is coming...
And while I am at it, suggestion:
Can a catwalk piece be made to have a larger round hole in it, with a connector attached underneath, like a ring connector, one you can fly through with a jetpack if there's nothing in the way?
Would be ideal for small fighters that have a top hatch right above the cockpit.
Or if doing a TIE Fighter with a top hatch that opens.

'Square Catwalk End Ladder Middle' has a railing on the wrong side - it is in front of the ladder, instead of behind it, meaning that all 4 sides are blocked off.

The tooltip image is correct; the ingame model is different.

'Square Catwalk End Ladder Top' has the same problem, except that the tooltip is also incorrect.

@Red Blood Cell

Only the vanilla Catwalks will snap to a hinge when creating a hinge bridge. Your catwalks no longer do so. Is there a chance you could possibly update the mod so that the hitbox on the Half Stadium Piece is a bit smaller? >w<

@Red Blood Cell
This has always been a priority mod for me and my friends in any game we play. I was wondering if you were still planning on updates and new content for it, or have you ceased mod development for Space Engineers all together? I'm just wondering. :)

The block "Square Catwalk End Ladder Middle" incorrectly has a full railing at the front, and is missing the small railings at the rear.

I was wondering with the signals DLC the inset wall diagonal block. Could you add your corner 45 degree catwalk to that block and add a half catwalk to the narrow door half block? I could probably do it myself but Id rather give my idea to the mod creator. Besides I havent had much luck with mods I have created. They work on my end but never work when put on workshop.

I'm a huge fan of this mod. Adds delightful greeble and immersion opportunities to both interior and exteriors.

There's only one issue I've noticed: one of the ladder blocks (specifically, "Square Grated Catwalk Ladder Base") doesn't match with the others. It has the old-style big ugly yellow box highlight, and the catwalk base model on it looks different. Is this a mistake?

And when a Ladder Cap is placed on the side of a Square Grated Catwalk Wall, the Cap can't be targeted with the hand welder. The Wall gets targeted no matter what angle I look at it.

"Square Catwalk Diagonal Base Right" is missing from the scrollable Square Grated Catwalk group. It has to be picked individually from the G menu. Left is in the group (as variant 19), but not Right.

I think this should have been added to the game from the deco pack 2 DLC, i can say the same for other expansive mods for the windows and ducts, you sir are a hero for this, mainly due to needing the half versions for my compact refinery room and garage/hangers.

@Dalten - just a fix for a minor bug affecting the mirroring on one of the half-width catwalk pieces.

Thank you for continuing to maintain this wonderful mod after all this time. What was changed in yesterday's update? :)

"You will also notice that every block can be built on top of" like build inside of them? or like a connection point on the top that connects to the air?

I kind of just wish the 1x2 grated/catwalk stairs were separate. Those are missing from the base game.

@DaresArt
Well there are 1241 models for different blocks, Build stages and LODs.
a.k.a. A cr*p ton of blocks

Why this is 510 megabytes... What's in it? Like whole Modpack or something?

@BigCountryCornbread It's already there: https://mod.io/g/spaceengineers/m/grated-catwalks-expansion

Could this be ported over to Mod.IO for console?

Fank yoo! Yoinkt et! <3

BCMortis have a look at Railing Button Panel https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2200960755
Works wonderful with any kind of railing or wall. Attaches from the outside and faces into the walkway

LCD panels and built-in button panels would be great along with lighting

i saw that you were planning lighting how about lcd pannels

does this include half stairs without the awful railings? I cannot for the life of me find a mod with that. the rails are cancer and i get stuck on them constantly, but if you just flip the stairs over it looks like shit.

amazing mod, its going to fill so many lifeless walls in my ships and stations :)

That hinge one is just great.

does this mean that the mod as a whole is becoming obsolete or are you making a master version that is better?

Sadly I won't be updating this version of the mod but that does mean you can make some changes to the files on your end without them being overwritten.

If you have this version of the mod you can try going into the Space Engineers mod folder (steamapps/workshop/content/244850) and finding the folder numbered "2503712170". If you have another version of this mod you can find the folder number by looking at the workshop page URL, and the number is at the end. Open that and there should be a file inside the Data folder called "BlockVariantGroups_GratedCatwalkExpansion".

Open that and find the relevant blocks - I think Keen has added the Half Width Catwalk Wall, Half Width Catwalk Wall Offset, Half Width Catwalk and Half Width Catwalk Straight. You can delete those lines and the blocks will be removed from the build/G menu, but builds which already use those blocks won't suddenly lose them. Hope this helps.

Any chance we can get an update to this to bring it in line with the most-wanted update? I want to make sure not to confuse my players with duplicate objects. Or is there a way to disable the pieces in question?

Just a little itch i get then using the raised catwalk (VERY USEFUL btw) the block on top clip through the texture... Solution? Maybe make every one of the catwalk slightly thicker that they naturally clip into the block (normal version) so that the raised one would have some buffer for blocks on top... Other than that no problem except that the raised can't be welded or grinded then the other block is on top so you need to build it 1rst...

Kinda abusing lots for decorating the box cargo rover i'm building (and that i'll left in a safe zone of an npc for security reason)

I have some catwalks that go directly underneath a structure. Do you have "hanging"catwalks planned like on rope or steel beams?

Well, I noticed that placing the ladder cap without the cage on top of the block the Ladder would have you step out on (Backwards to the ladder) works perfectly fine. A simple solution may very well be to create several ladder cap catwalk variants instead. Though I'm not sure if it would be possible to have a capped cage block with an overlap of another block if you did so. At the same time, even if you did so, considering you wouldn't want to put another block on top of the ladder to begin with, this, again, may very well be the solution?

More work, I know, but yeah. In my testing, it's the block on top of the ladder that causes the drop 99.9 percent of the time.

@~Neko Jess~ It's probably something to do with the collisions on the ladder. Ladders are especially hard to mod with because of how sensitive they are to collisions when mounting/dismounting and even moreso when you're on a moving grid. I will look at improving the collisions for the caps and caged ladders, but this would be for a future re-release of the mod along with new blocks and many other improvements.

I love the mod and the work you've put into this. I have so many ideas for using these in my builds going forward.
The only issue I've found thus far is that the "Ladder Cap Cage" blocks like to be hit and miss on working. sometimes I fall down them, sometimes I can climb them no issue. I'm currently trying to test if server restarts cause them to jank up or if it's other things.

Thanks!

@Artika Sure!

Can I get your permission to use your mod on the server?

Fantastic. Appreciate the hard work.

Hi all! Just checking in to let you know that behind the scenes the mod is being overhauled in multiple ways and we will hopefully have a release ready in the next few weeks. I issued an update to one of the other versions of the mod a while ago addressing some of the issues people have reported, and issues that aren't resolved are being looked into as part of the next update.

Hey can you make a small gird version or add small grid version support

Love this mod! The half walk with one side full rail and other side half rail (left and right) needs a mirror though (at least i couldn't find one)

WOW..its all I can say.

"Square Catwalk Raised" is unable to be welded or even pointed at by the welder. See screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/aGQGYhs.png

@Red Blood Cell, thank you for this mod which has now become indispensable. Sorry to bother you with a request, it's for something that keeps coming up as needed. It's a 'Half width G.C.with a half wall on the long edge.' Cheers
