RELEASED Base In A Box 2.0.12

Pilchenstein updated Base In A Box with a new update entry:

Back in business

Read the rest of this update entry...[DOUBLEPOST=1423940603][/DOUBLEPOST]Today's update is mostly just to get the mod back together - I was going to wait until I'd finished a bunch more stuff but then I realised the latest version was still just a placeholder. Should be another update soon with more boost pad directions, demolition charges and a computer you can sell furniture to.

 

I've noticed your base building thing is similar to the thing used to create your spaceship on the planets surface. Did you get help from that guy to make this or is that beam thing just something the developers put into the game themselves? Just curious where it came from now that I've seen it a few different places. It's very neat.

 

It does say on the main page for the mod that madtulip and I worked on it together, if it's his mod you're talking about.

 

I really like your mod, but is there a way to duplicate blue prints? I want to prefabricate a building, scan it, then make multiple copies to make a village.
Or maybe make a scanner version that only pops out blueprints rather than ripping the building from existence.

 

Yes that is the mod I meant Pilchenstein. I'm sorry I didn't read the entire main page. I always read everything that gets added to Serious Modpack. So I clicked the video and watched the whole thing. Anyways, It is a very awesome thing you guys made. It's really great for making things quickly.

 

There's currently a kind of hacky way to do it that someone came up with a few pages back in this thread. I'm looking into a better method.

 

Does this mod work in Unstable?
So far I could only print premade buildings. Scanner wired to a marker doesn't respond to any input.

 

I've not tested it on unstable, so possibly not.

 

I'm just looking for mods which work in Unstable. Teleporters and planet bookmarks are too good to play Stable these days

 

Mr. Pilchenstein, would you mind looking into why the scanner doesn't work in Unstable? thesidofevil has updated the Madtulip's Spaceship mod to work with Unstable, but It feels incomplete without the power of your mod.

Starbound is all about creativity, and currently being able to print only premade houses and pods is kinda discouraging.

The Unstable (Spirited Giraffe) is quite stable, I haven't had a single crash or bug this whole time.

 

new to this mod. can it transport modded blocks and wiring? i have a modded building that has extensive wiring i need to move

 

It can transport modded blocks as long as the mod for those blocks are still active.
The transporter cannot transport wire configurations nor liquids. Wires must be reconfigured and liquids will simply fall down once the blocks have been absorbed into the blueprint.

 

thanks for the reply. guess i will just have to re wire all of it blehhhhhh

 

Sorry but I'm not maintaining two versions of the mod, I don't really have enough free time for one. Aside from anything else I'd be reinventing the wheel - the scanner code is in the common "modules in a box" mod, which I assume
@thesidofevil has already updated. I'll send him a message and see if I can help him find the problem though.

He says it's already being fixed.

 

I think I found a bug, I found a apex parkour place, and scanned a bit of it (because for some reason the blocks were not indestructible...so woohoo free blocks) I added it to my spaceship and it built it perfectly. EXCEPT now my entire ship is indestructible. I cant pick up OR place items what do I do?

 

I'm guessing you scanned in the shield generator thing? If so, you'd have to switch it off before you can dismantle anything.

 

I have a feeling what KWVance is trying to say is that the blocks he harvested were indestructible, so when he placed them, they came with the "indestructible" part still on them.
He didn't scan the generator, but assuming it is still active, the blocks won't be breakable.
Perhaps if he went back and turned off the generator, the blocks on his ship might be breakable? If not, then this means indestructible blocks when harvested can only be placed once.
No way to interact with them afterwards.
Maybe you could make a meteor shield with them.

This brings up fascinating experiments I could set up. I could create a remote shield generator system.

 

sort of...the first time i went to an apex parkour place, (way back when, before i even had this mod) the blocks WERE indestructible. When i DID have this mod for some reason when I found a new apex parkour lab the blocks could be totally manipulated be it picaxe, drill, etc... so i was like, "hey free parkour base. NEAT!" then when I placed it in my ship when i later beamed back it was totally indestructible even the old parts of my ship.
