Attachable Connectors

Description
These are very low profile connectors. Attach them to other blocks that use the conveyor system to make those blocks look like they have an integrated connector.

This mod contains two variants of connectors
  • a connector ring that's mounted on a base. This looks good with cargo containers and conveyor blocks
  • a simple connector ring. Use this in any situation where a visible base is not desired

Because the game does not allow to dynamically connect to small and large conveyors there are two seperate versions for each connector variant. One connects to large conveyors, the other connects to small conveyors. See the first image for a visual explanation.

The blocks are 3x3x1 in size with an actual height of less than half a small block. This means you can connect two objects in the space of one small block instead of four.

Currently there are no large blocks.

The sources are available on Github[github.com] under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license.

Hmm its using the old definitions for the connectors - no wonder its crashing.
fix:
1) open mod folder in ***Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\325828388
2) open the legacy bin file with a zip/unzip (e.g. 7zip)
3) goto data folder and rename the cubeblocks.sbc to CubeBlocks.OLD
4) copy my corrected version from pastebin:
make a txt file in the mod folder "CubeBlocks.txt", open it in editor and paste the whole content of the pastebin into the txt file. https://pastebin.com/xdfdU9L7
save/close the file and rename it to *.sbc then move it into the zip archive.
5) now that the corrected version is inside the zip archive u can save/close it and restart the game.

what is changed:
1) definitions update to <Definition xsi:type="MyObjectBuilder_ShipConnectorDefinition">
2) added missing fields:
<ResourceSinkGroup>Utility</ResourceSinkGroup>
<PowerInput>0.02</PowerInput>

so tested it a tlittle and it seems to be working as intended. enjoy!

especially those on conveyor access points i see still as something functionally useful, maybe one of the conveyor mods would take this into consideration for their mods

Crashes. I keep doing it over and over because I forget and I really like this mod.

Yeah, broken, can't even place the blocks now without game crashing. Sad.

Mod still works for me. Note, the grid MUST be powered.
Additionally, you must follow the guidelines for Large/Small conveyors.

Please add large blocks

Any chance you might update this and also want to include small conveyor tube size connectors? Mini ones that worked would be amazing! just for transfering ore and fuel.
