Everything seems to be ' out of the valid movement range ' no matter how / where the two scopes are pointed. Is this now to be expected ? or am I doing something funky ?

I think the vanilla item is just a big antenna, not a laser antenna so it's static

you can get similar model now in vanilla from one of the dlcs if i am not mistaken?

Laser Antenna has infinite range now so not sure what this would be used for other than looking fancy. Was cool though

yeah i hope this will work soon

Update this

wait so whats it mainly for and does it work?

doesnt turn any more to my watching it for 20 min

Really wish someone would adopt this and make it work for current builds, either as a laser antenna or converted to a normal antenna(even if that means make it static)

it works, but some of the parts are not showing corectly, some are pink even from distance, and because of the new texture updates, non of the parts will take on texture. would be nice if it got updated, but its not imperitive to the function of the mod.

Not sure what everyone's talking about, I just tested this and it's working fine in 1.192. They work just like laser antenna, meaning they have to have line of sight and they only have a 33 degree arc to work with, so you need to copy/paste coordinates from each dish and make sure they can rotate to face eachother.

:( really hope someone will revive this mod and if so best of luck and all my best.

darth biomech will not fix it.... but If any one wants to fix it You can do so:

darth biomech stopped all mod making/fixing ages ago so he wont fix it

The satellite doesn’t work correctly because the bottom of the satellite moves when you link it to another satellite or etc. but when it turns on the bottom turns not the top so if you can please fix it that would be great thank you so much enjoy your day.

can you plz update the mod

RIP textures

Hi, i want use your blueprint in my scenarion, very nice radar for survival and exploration, if you want, can find scenario here.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1402040369

i think this is now obselete bec vanilla laser antennas now has a slider to adjust the range, and it can be set to unlimited. confirmed in creative and survival.

I don't know why, but the transceiver uses 70 MW regardless of what it is doing.
Even when being idle (and it states that it is), it still uses 70 MW.

MWAHAHA! Soon my remote control drones will dominate the galaxy
One deep space transceiver at a time!

I've just reuploaded a balanced version of this mod here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1194106426

Lowered the range to 3000 km. I felt that 2 billion meters was a bit much.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!
have waited foreaver for somthing like this.

-Sigh- I have been waiting for someone else to pick this one up for a long time now.....

he gave public permission to keep his mods updated as long as he recieved credit for them.

Did anyone get permission to try and continue this Mod?

does it need LOS

this isnt showing up in my menus anymore. is this broken now?

It's a laser antenna, no idea why it says antenna, it's always been a laser antenna that swivels around and connects to other dishes, normal antennas dont swivel.

code based- only laser antenna in game.

i though this would be an antenna, but it is working just like a laser antenna. does it somehow have both functions?

I know it has, I remember when the only way to have an assembler grab materials from a refinery is by stacking them :) but that doesn't make them very representative images/clips about the game xD although not less tantalizing to look at of course ^^

ion thrusters used to work in atmosphere- they used to not have a texture as well. the game has changed a lot over the years- but keen has a dev world for vids, and those could have modified gravity zones. one video even had an earth like that looked much larger. dunno. given time we could have actual volumetric water even, and boats...

80KM though xD with a single sat that'd be 80km range, which mean the moon would's gravity and the planet's gravity would be in eachother's way, don't think you'd have sun and the moon would be rather large.. I mean, it's possible that they did, but I've seen them demo more impossible things, like ion thruster ships inside gravity and such :P

the moon in the video is way closer. if you notice all keen video's the worlds are closer to generate a visual estetic.

There's really no reason for Keen not to implement a longer distance antenna. The default ones are laughable, especially the laser ones. 40KM?! are you serious?! there's a video in the main menu background that shows a satellite in orbit and a rover on the moon, THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, it would require at least 8 sats of which at least 3 expending heavy fuel to float within gravity.

Right now I'm planning to use this steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=404568464 but I have no idea if it'll work either. It's weird how little long distance antennas there are in the workshop, even though it's fairly easy to make them (just requires editing the relevant SBCs..).

Has no collision, does not function. The mod is currently dead, until either Darth comes out of retirement or someone else can fix it.

it hasn't been updated- in a long time- and SE has been, a lot. yoru current best bet is to learn to deploy antanna relay networds and use those. once i learned the suns rotation i deployed several. but i really gave up on remote tech. its just not worth it right now.

When I place this object, it appears visually, but is totally nonfunctional, cannot be removed, and isn't even a solid object affected by physics or gravity. What went wrong?

Giant unweldable frame, awesome.

For some reason since the last update this block has disappeared everywhere in the map, and I can't place new ones. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

@Nighthawk Please read the following:

For a mod that is not appearing in your G menu, you must delete the associated SBM file from your Space Engineers mod folder (on both client and server if applicable) and let it redownload. The name of the file will match the workshop ID of the mod, found in the URL of this page directly after "filedetails/?id="

I'm having problems with this Mod, It doesn't seem to be loading up for me. there are no errors when I start a world even when it is the only mod. I'm I doing something wrong?

@woostyboy Yes. I just Subscribed a little while ago and saw your question. Tested it just this minute actually. I am using the in-game web browser steam had so happily added for us. :D

Good afternoon. Can anyone tell me, does this function as a 'laser antenna'?

@Ricardo That was always a separate mod:

What did it do with the send message function? Find no explanation anywhere

try the forums at keen- he has a mod thread there, or his profile page if he doesn't contact you- he's really inactive.

Do to the limited means i am corzra i would like to use your mod in my surival series... there will be no money involved as. i made clear to my team this will be free fun.. and i would loveshow your mod so im saking for your permission to use said mod.

Funny, I had 4 of them in survival. They have a shoddy design and are useless though, there is plenty of lower poly configs Darth could have used that could face nearly any direction needed like the default antenna do, but he choose this nonsense. Placing the block is a mute issue as it's impossible to use easily if at all. The better option is just to use the files to mod the default model instead, I'm sure someone else already has such a mod up. But I gave up on comm op.
