FAQ's / Trouble shootings
  • You can't see the block / The block doesn't show all settings in terminal
    First check if the block is enabled in your progression tree, otherwise you could either disable the progression in game settings or researche the need blocks.
    If this is not the cause, it could be the downloaded mod files itself is corrupted. In this case the file exist on your local / server mod folder but is unusable.
    The simple fix is, to delete the mod file:
    (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\244850\857053359)

    Next time you start the game/world the mod file will be autmaticly downloaded again.
    If this doesn't work, you could take a look inside the log file to find out what the problem is.

  • My newly placed blocks are immediately grinded
    If you switch of 'Janitor grinds neutral blocks' the new blocks should not be be grind any more.
    Background: Inside the game only 'functional' Blocks (blocks that show up in terminal) could be owned. Therefor if you place any new armor blocks they are 'neutral'. As soon as you connect an ownable block to an neutral grid, the whole grid is owned by the owner of the 'ownable' block.
    So knowing that, you could switch of the 'grind neutrals' or start your new grid with an 'ownable' block.

What to do, if nothing of the above helped
If you have trouble with the mod, in order to help, I would need some information.
In case of a crash at least a game log file and mod logfile.
In case of trouble while playing, switch off all nanobars that don't have a problem, increase the mod's loglevel (Type in chat "/nanobars -loglevel all"), let the game running for a few minutes, after that you could decrease the loglevel again ("/nanobars -loglevel default") and share the mod logfile together with a short description what you observed (+ the name of the nanobar having the problem).

Game log file could be found under:
"C:\Users\Usernane\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\SpaceEngineers.log"
Mod log file could be found under:
"C:\Users\Usernane\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Storage\857053359.sbm_NanobotBuildAndRepairSystem\NanobotBuildAndRepairSystem.log"
For reporting best use the pinned discussion "Bug Reports", for sharing you could use e.g. https://pastebin.com/

No, you just remove the unwanted relations. E.G. if you only want to autogrind rubbish:
<AllowedGrindJanitorRelations>NoOwnership</AllowedGrindJanitorRelations>

Im running into a problem with having the blocks not show up in either progression or the game at all.

Troubleshooting: I tried uninstalling the mod and reinstalling it multiple times.

Info from logs:

endless ticking sound even when the volume is set to 0 in the unit settings and the unit is turned off

The distinction between "Pick" and "Set" color buttons is not clear to me (in English the two words are similar enough in meaning), and I'm afraid of accidentally grinding part of my base. My guess is I use the "pick" button to bring up the color picker dialog, or the "Set" button to select my current build color as the grind/ignore color. Is that correct?

I saved a backup and tested. "Pick" does not bring up the picker, it sets the color to your current build color. Directly changing the sliders changed the color immediately. I have no idea what "Set" would do, I just used the sliders.

Trying to make a button panel display whether or not Build New is on or off using Automatic LCDs 2, however I'm not sure what the Boolean is for Build New.

I've tried the following, but neither display anything:

PropBool {BOB Rover Dock} {AllowBuild:} {Allow Build:} {On} {Off}
PropBool {BOB Rover Dock} {AllowBuild} {} {Build from projection} {Do not build from projecton}
PropBool {BOB Rover Dock} {BuildNew:} {Allow Build:} {On} {Off}

AllowBuild being the text that is displayed in the toolbar config for the button panel.
