Remove all other mods and see what happens.

I seem to be experiencing a strange bug, where dampeners are actually less powerful than manual thrust. Not sure if it's a game bug, or a bug introduced by a mod.

Love this mod, but have to ask if there is a way to get rid of the x10 dampening? In a config file or something? Perhaps it is just the way I fly, but I find coming to a stop that fast in a dog fight more of a hindrance than a help.

I made them work again. Just the audio error that you suggested that I ignore is still there. Thank you for making such a wonderful mod1!!
TK_Over50 12 Dec, 2024 @ 3:43am 
This is my go-to thruster mod. But, for some reason my mod is broken (per the logfile). Is there a successor to this mod?
Peekofwar 19 Oct, 2024 @ 11:07am 
I've noticed that several blocks have incorrect build states. For example:
Modular thruster Half Rampback Right L Large (Large Grid)

Come to find out, the problem I had was just a minor fluke that happened during game/save load. All is working fine, and I use this on ALL my ships!

@Spacebar - I'm happy to see you're still active in the community, and so grateful for you!
Another thing - if you're ever up to it - is if you could at some point add the 2x1 thrusters to go in the other direction (90 degrees), please - and thank you!
TK_Over50 24 Sep, 2024 @ 8:53am 
Thanks @Spacebar, for clearing that up. I couldn't find an expensive application that would convert the 1 offending file from PCM to ieeefloat mono. I deemed the process as too tedious.

The sound error is very minor and is not causing crashes and can be ignored. As for copyright, I still own the rights to the models themselves as I made them
TK_Over50 22 Sep, 2024 @ 5:34pm 
But, it's a sound error. They function as intended.
TK_Over50 22 Sep, 2024 @ 5:33pm 
These are absolutely the best thrusters, without being too OP on take-off. The breaking force is stunning ad that is why I want to fix, rather than just dump this mod. I will look into a fix for this.
TenTech 5 Aug, 2024 @ 3:57pm 
Assuming the copyright of a game mod could be 'overdue' it would probably be from the time the mod was last updated. But I believe the modding community abides by asking for permission and respecting the response. Unless you're LSG, of course.
ThePropheticWarrior 5 Aug, 2024 @ 1:57pm 
The copyright is three years overdue; it is perhaps technically OK to fix and republish this mod (should probably credit Spacebar though) - if someone wants to take this over!
ThePropheticWarrior 5 Aug, 2024 @ 1:23pm 
I don't think Spacebar is modding anymore. I haven't seen anything new in 2 years, and he definitely hasn't updated anything lately. His account is set to private now (I think it used to be public).

So no, this error hasn't been fixed. Sad, because all my builds incorporate this mod - so I'll have to find something to replace it, and not use any of his other mods at all!
TK_Over50 27 Jul, 2024 @ 7:04pm 
@Sycholic, Did you get the error fixed? It is in my log as well. This is what the log looks like right after the error (Game crashed):

Axel-of-Atheara 29 May, 2024 @ 10:59am 
@Spacebar, would you ever consider adding more blocks/shapes to this?
SycHolic 5 Mar, 2024 @ 11:44pm 
Not sure if this been reported just noticed it while looking thru the log file while looking for something else.

Pretty good armour but armoured thruster mods are stronger

As far as I know there isn't plans to include more tiers because there basically is tiers at the moment

And I don't know any mods including these thrusters but you could try coding your own one if you wanted

Hope this helps 😃
kinngrimm 13 Jan, 2024 @ 2:18pm 
How do these hold up against armored thruster mods?
Any plans to include tiers, so people may have reasons to grind or scavange these blocks.
Are any of the modular encouter mods incorporating these thrusters?
FrenzyGr 7 Aug, 2023 @ 8:13am 
I like the design of these but unfortunately the engine light seems to penetrate the ship blocks and just flickers constantly, im sure this is keens problem and not the mods
ThePropheticWarrior 23 May, 2023 @ 12:53pm 
I sure hope he adds 2x1's that fire in the other direction (90 degrees) while he's at it!
Ghost Rider 15 Apr, 2023 @ 8:33pm 
they were added 2 days ago give him a chance and Iv'e heard roumors that he is updating them too
TenTech 15 Apr, 2023 @ 8:27pm 
Any chance of you updating these to be recognised by the new AI blocks?
SunGod 18 Feb, 2023 @ 9:21am 
Love these engines. But - throws an error on world load.

TheGamingNot 17 Feb, 2023 @ 8:30am 
any chance you could make a version for the beta? as right now if you copy and paste with this it crashes
Syphond 5 Feb, 2023 @ 5:30pm 
So i noticed the dampner affects where times 10 in build info. But i cant find anything here that states it should be more then 2? is this a recent changed or did i miss something?
Ghost Rider 8 Dec, 2022 @ 3:41am 
thay do work decently well on planets
Miko 8 Dec, 2022 @ 3:37am 
@SiriusBlack Maybe because they are built for space?
SiriusBlack 17 Jul, 2022 @ 7:22pm 
Does anyone else have issuees with the atmo performance of these thrusters? They are really strong in space and up to low orbit, but I can not use them to take off from a planets surface. Even with alot of them.
Ghost Rider 8 Jul, 2022 @ 6:29pm 
I don't use X-box much but that would be nice
holden4ever 8 Jul, 2022 @ 2:11pm 
Any chance you could upload this to mod.io for Xbox users?
Varlgas 28 Jun, 2022 @ 4:13am 
Extra great mod Spacebar as always, i just wish to ask a question, why are the slope thrusters only available in one way and not in two ways ? By that i am going to post a link to a picture on imgur, to demonstrate what i mean, i was hoping to put those on my ship but i'll have to find an other way it seems !

Refik 3 May, 2022 @ 2:05pm 
Did we can change the mass of thrusters or can you share the source code?
Yaroshweps 22 Apr, 2022 @ 1:11am 
mod io version?
High Lord Crypto 9 Apr, 2022 @ 1:42pm 
Hey Spacebar! I'm running a MP server and had some people request I include this mod in our newest iteration, problem is the thrusters (most of them) don't have collision for the armor plates around the thruster ports themselves. Another issue we're seeing is there's no thruster damage.

We'd love to use this but as is, it's a little busted. Could I perhaps beg you to fix this excellent thruster mod so me and my strangers can have fun with cool spaceships that have badass thrusters?

We would be eternally grateful to have this gift bestowed upon us, never would be deign to forget this heroic feat of science.

In your mighty name we shall erect a monument to shine out your glory to all the realm!

Hail to Spacebar! The savior of our thruster-lust!

Steam error unsub/resub as it didn't download it properly
Hethan757 6 Apr, 2022 @ 5:09pm 
anyone else having a issue where they are just black cubes
and if so how do I fix it
Lt.Fenix 22 Mar, 2022 @ 7:40pm 
Thanks for this great mod; I've been using it quite a bit.

However, I was wondering: would you consider adding a half-slope version where the thrust goes out of the sloped face in the shorter direction? Something like this: l\ ==>
This variant doesn't seem to exist.
KiberVolk 12 Mar, 2022 @ 3:37pm 
@Jackson, they work in both Atmosphere and Ion without the need to use Hydrogen as fuel, but they require a lot of power.
ABlueHairedFox 10 Mar, 2022 @ 9:55pm 
Do these thrusters work in atmosphere or are they the same as Ion thrusters?
MachoNatchoMan 10 Mar, 2022 @ 7:38am 
is there a more sensible version of this mod balanced against vanilla thrusters?!?.. it's kind of insane just having 2 of these thrusters and it being like 8 times more effective than like 10 regular ions in the same direction and yet being the same size..

the only time i'd be fine with this is if the power cost is waaaay way higher than ions and even then i'd be a bit iffy about using this mod :/ :q

if not then oh well, i'll just leave this mod behind but i would appreciate a alternate version.
Bluewave101 28 Feb, 2022 @ 3:10pm 
wow good mod
your mod Thrusters is so overkill
mean i did build Thrusters 10 on my small ship
go space 1min lol ..,, no more wait 6min for go space
Spacebar  [author] 28 Feb, 2022 @ 4:07am 
I've not seen this behavior on w4stedspace's streams. This sounds like desync.
Seth_Redfield 27 Feb, 2022 @ 10:28pm 
Not sure if this is known, but the thrusters bug out with energy shields. It bounces around if the thrust particles hits the shield. Not sure if its the thrusters or the shield mod. Shield mod in question is Defense shields mod v2.0(38)
Littlecaptain 12 Feb, 2022 @ 2:16am 
this thruster is too heavy
KiberVolk 28 Jan, 2022 @ 5:40pm 
@Spitfire It functions in both, but has a high power cost.
SpitfireMKV 28 Jan, 2022 @ 5:35pm 
Query: Does it function in atmosphere?
CaveBadgerMan 22 Jan, 2022 @ 10:48am 
Is the changes made reverted now @Spacebar?
have had many server members with ships needing the be restored today.. as on restart last night they all came tumbling down.
Frans de Gans 22 Jan, 2022 @ 5:54am 
Could be the game engines limit then as we build crap lot of them. :)
Spacebar  [author] 22 Jan, 2022 @ 5:45am 
These are just regular thrusters with no scripts, there's no way that they're causing bugs with other mods, I've not gotten any other bug reports with this issue. I suggest removing mods until you find the one that's causing that issue because I can't think of any reason my thrusters would cause anything like that
