tank i filled with hydrogen flew upwards so i will need more info on what exactly is "not working"
* in a new world with only the mod that is

Does this mod still work?
thx

Horse is in Russia, and cut off mostly from all the rest of us

darn wish this still worked : (

This is a function that should have existed for a long time in SE.
An update is needed. They could use a modular system similar to the one in the Forever Skies game.

Is there any chance we'll get 3x3x3 and 2x2x2 versions for small grid?
Gazingus Dingle Bordaviq VI Nov 21, 2022 @ 11:21am 
starter pod to space speedrun any% modded
Darian Stephens Nov 17, 2022 @ 7:40pm 
They should work with any grid, sub or no.
Silent Nov 17, 2022 @ 5:06pm 
Anyone know if these work with subgrids or do they only work with primary grids?
SpillAr!z! Oct 30, 2022 @ 4:44am 
can this be made for small grid

@Mojo - The Hindenburg was his 128th airship built and crashed and burned, the guy was consistent and poor.

KeeN tell us we not need new stuff. Still MOD to fun to play with and this may be vannila from start as is pure engineering.
Make SE better!

Light gas buoyancy devices and vacuum buoyancy devices need to be in the base game for use in atmospheres. Dependency handling and ordering is also a major issue when adding mods to a world.

It seems to turn invisible upon reloading my save.
nukeguard  [author] Oct 29, 2021 @ 5:24pm 
should still function
Syhkane Oct 27, 2021 @ 7:44am 
The old screenshots worry me, but I'm giving this a shot.
nukeguard  [author] Jul 17, 2021 @ 12:27pm 
crash log from that would be handy
LookAtMyHorse  [author] Jul 17, 2021 @ 12:10pm 
we'll need something more substantial than this 'm afraid
donr1960 Jul 14, 2021 @ 4:15pm 
if a gas cell touches the water, the game instantly crashes

Anyone know of a script to manage their fill levels? scripts for hydrogen tanks dont work cause the block types are different, if there isnt what is the string name for the block type, cause im modifying another script to work. Otherwise, excellent mod!
nukeguard  [author] May 20, 2021 @ 11:04am 
I'm assuming they mean, when it's filled partially, it would act as ballast tank, so you could have one that will only go to top of water as ceiling, but be able to sink to bottom
LookAtMyHorse  [author] May 20, 2021 @ 10:35am 
elaborate
are they conflicting or what?
donr1960 May 19, 2021 @ 10:19pm 
You should make this mod compatible with Jakaria's water mod https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2200451495

also same grind to halt issue was in our weapon core tournaments if we used hydrogen thrust
LookAtMyHorse  [author] Oct 7, 2020 @ 1:41pm 
the problem could be keens hydrogen code bugginess, i have single player worlds grinding to halt cause i have hydrogen thrusters on them
R-TEAM Oct 6, 2020 @ 5:59pm 
i would not say "broken" .... it works .... but it looks,it creates on server an big chunk of network traffic ..... so maybe a buggynes with the changes keen made ...?
Have maked an airship with a couple of ballons..and the server have fun spam the network with other player to heavy laggs...
And would still prefer an recode, so the force of lift is,like on the digi-wings, created on the center of mass - so dampeners would work and the balancing of multiple ballons would no problem
Corrupted QAi Jul 21, 2020 @ 5:42pm 
mod has broke do to updates
1antonioorlo1 Jul 12, 2020 @ 11:21am 
Oh.. It's brilliant!) THX)
madladJ Jun 24, 2020 @ 7:36am 
I was looking for inspiration and happened upon your mod... THANK YOU! Airships, satellites, orbiting stations, etc could all work with this! Mwahaha!
nukeguard  [author] Apr 16, 2020 @ 4:04pm 
tip, use hydrogen thruster on top to slow ascent and deplete hydrogen in tanks
Paladinboyd Apr 16, 2020 @ 9:38am 
Yeah it's rather difficult to store hydrogen when you are being yeeted into the sky by the tank.
Darian Stephens Apr 13, 2020 @ 4:47am 
I mean, there's nothing stopping you from using these as a hydrogen tank on a station, but it might be difficult on a ship.
Paladinboyd Apr 13, 2020 @ 3:43am 
This is coming in handy for a lot of builds, I wonder if these would be a good model for a hydrogen tank.
Literally Hitler Himself Mar 6, 2020 @ 3:54am 
but thanks a lot, btw nice script folder names
Literally Hitler Himself Mar 6, 2020 @ 3:53am 
nah i got my own models, fresh out of bakery made, they use lots of canvases so it's closer to a cube with cloth on the sides
nukeguard  [author] Mar 5, 2020 @ 5:59pm 
sure you can use the model, but you won't be able to resize it to your specifications
LookAtMyHorse  [author] Mar 5, 2020 @ 4:35pm 
even if you ask around the modding channel in discord on how to do what you want what you will get is the code in this mod (you can check that if you want)
code here is pretty basic so i don't see why not.
if you gonna use nuke's model though - ask him (slimeradio)
Literally Hitler Himself Mar 5, 2020 @ 3:09pm 
hey nukegard, i'm planning on making a floater block too but with much different behaviors (no fill ratio and it doesn't act as container, made with canvas and lightweight materials with x5 to reality lift factor for hydrogen (so about 925kg for a 5x5x5 small grid and 19525kg for 2x3x3 large grid lift))

may i use your code (the cs script) for my mod?
Slimeradio  [developer] Mar 2, 2020 @ 11:53am 
Hi! I like, to edit you mod. could you please contact to me? slimeradio#8842
Corrupted QAi Dec 8, 2019 @ 8:55pm 
small ship black?
jackik Nov 11, 2019 @ 8:43am 
I agree though, I like the look itself a lot too. I've used it as a replacement in the past a few times.
Rysten Nov 10, 2019 @ 8:38pm 
Yeah. I have found myself using as a regular hydrogen tank due to the aesthetics more often. If it is a problem don't worry about it, I can manage.
LookAtMyHorse  [author] Nov 10, 2019 @ 8:07pm 
you mean like... a spherical hydrogen tank?
Rysten Nov 10, 2019 @ 6:17pm 
Any chance to get a version that doesn't provide lift?
R-TEAM Oct 27, 2019 @ 8:04pm 
Would it possible to code the force at the mass center of the grid (like all other thrusters..) ?
GrumpyPlok616 Oct 19, 2019 @ 7:19pm 
any plans to update?
nukeguard  [author] Jun 13, 2019 @ 5:37pm 
LookAtMyHorse would have to update this
Malhavoc Jun 13, 2019 @ 11:32am 
Would there be a way to change the background of the icon, so that instead of being white on the the hotbars, it could be something that would contrast with the on/off text?
Malhavoc Jun 2, 2019 @ 11:11pm 
The solution was that I was not using the naming correctly in the command argument. The gas cells act as hydrogen tanks as far as MMaster is concerned. Example: Tanks * Hydrogen, would reflect all of tanks that would hold hydrogen.

Where as Tanks {G:groupname} Hydrogen would only serve those tanks in the group. So I made a simple group name to contain the gas cells and the command would only reflect those on the LCD.

Turns out it wasn't really necessary to determine the tank type name.

Please share, it's the worst thing when someone has a problem, then solves it with the only answer being 'fixed it'.
