he only prob i had so far with it was in coop where whenever the host uses the binos everyone else also gets hud overlay from the binos.

yes it works on vanilla dedicated server wonderfully.

This mod is amazing, but it's more like a portable backyard telescope than binoculars. it is VERY strong with the highest ranges. Would you please consider a configuration option for server admins to modulate maximum zoom depth.

@[p42] The Fodder

No. I run it on a dedicated server with 0 problems.

Are there any issues with running this on servers?

Thank you to offer this to the community ❤️

@PimpMyDog
stuff claiming """performance improvements""" is usually messing with other mods functions due to them messing with stuff many mods rely on to function.

Oops never mind it was actually the Performance Improvement plugin as previous comments also said. Shame, I really benefited from this plugin but at least I can still play without it. I chose Binoculars mod over that :)

Same here. Subgrid projection plugin and Binoculars mod breaks this mod. Both are practically essential things for me so any way to fix this?

Will not function on consoles

mod io?

Was working fine until i used plugin manager to install subgrid blueprint plugin then it breaks

@Abisius
Ah, so it's a case of bug caused by game limitations, and therefore in the category of can't fix. But it is known about. Okay, thank you :)

shared singleplayer world and host?

a shared singleplayer world is still singleplayer and just got shared to others via a worldupload to the steamworkshop or throwing over the files via other ways so that thex can play it and there is only one in the world.

a host is either the server in case a keen based or torch based server is in use or the player that did open the world in coop mode.

the overlay appearing for clients in coop when the host uses the binos and every host action been done with the binos beeing transfered to the clients is an age old thing happenign since this mod startet its existence and as far as i remember it it was ages ago explained as beeing due to se limitations.

Bug report: When in a shared singleplayer world, when the host uses the binoculars to zoom in, it -for 1 frame- also zooms in for other people, which closes GUIs, and looks glitchy.

it shows info of what I'm holding while using the binoculars, but it's really useful for long distances

Categories changed it might only be found by searching the g menu

I think its outdated. Have crafted the binoculars and they do show up in my inventory.
But i cant equip or use them

I've lost the game...

How come I can't look around when using the binoculars? limitation?

I confirm that the binoculars conflict with the "Performance Improvement". If the "Performance Improvement" is disabled, then the binoculars work fine.

Award granted for remembering the game.

Not surprising to be honest. It's not easy to do something more that a developer has already done

@Chipstix213
developer said that this plugin actually ruins performance a bit when using with huge modpacks

At this rate I'm wondering what mods are compatible with that plugin

Can confirm flummifp remark. "Performance Improvement" plugin is not compatible with this.

Great mod!

In case this mod locks you into zoom and doesn't show a vignette when using the binoculars, the reason might be the "performance improvements" plugin.

@Abisius I get this too, but for me when I look at something that my buddy is also looking at (w/out binocs) then he gets kicked. At least I think that's what happens.

In th main Assembler

Hello! How create binocular ?
Thanks )

@Klime @Chipstix
i had just a very interresting find while playing in coop and beeig the host:
using the binos also uses the binos also for everyone else in the session, so i use the bios and everyone has the effect of it.

Did I just lose...

Thanks for the info.

@VileNet If you look at that mod's file size, it is significantly smaller than this one, and in the description the maker of that addon said that it adds the Binoculars to the Survival Kit and Assembler Tier 1's crafting; which gives it compatibility with Industrial Overhaul, as well as requiring THIS mod to be installed too, as that one doesn't contain the assets or actual code for the Binoculars mod. That mod is an addon for this one, not standalone, and thus isn't a reposting of the mod.

Looks like someone re-posted your Mod
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2960215269&searchtext=Binoculars

It appears in the assembler crafting under tools it's there.

Can confirm that appears in G menu but no option to craft.

I wonder if the blueprint changes has broken the ability to manufacture the item

i see the item in the "G" menu but I can't equip it or see the components requierements

nice, now i can see far away, love it.

Does anyone else have an issue with the player's hands not hiding when looking down the binoculars? The issue seems to come and go.

Is there a way to check (or change) the controls?

Running the mod on a small server with a couple of players, the mod works, but the binos will not zoom - not with the mouse wheel not with Q/E

Could you make it so the Binoculars place a GPS where you are looking when you left click or something? It could be a very useful feature!

Pro tip: if you're using the binoculars to look at distant planets and asteroids but they look like absolute crap, that's a base-game issue. If you set your "Voxel Quality" to "Extreme" you will get incredibly-improved visuals in this scenario.

However, Extreme voxel quality is, well, extremely performance heavy. Personally, I play on High voxel quality and only switch to Extreme for those moments when I want to use the binocs to look at distance voxels (planets and asteroids).

If you've got a crazy strong system you might even be able to play on Extreme voxel quality at all times. Lucky you.

It was excellent. Very useful for checking out installations before approaching them :)

Nice! Hopefully it was useful in the snow 🌨️

As a data point for troubleshooting the multiplayer issues reported by others, I used this mod in the Frostbite scenario while running a local host multiplayer game. We used it throughout the game and nobody reported the bugs mentioned below. Maybe that will help isolate the issue. Love the mod. Cheers!

Oh no! I lost the game!

Night vision when?

@caseopening it for sure does not work well for multiplayer

Great mod, this thing should be included by default on the game prob :T
