Bubbet Are you planning for a smaller wire starter? I really want to make small drone ships or at least less manned ships in general. A true spacecraft wouldn't require 50 people to run it as everything would be automated. This is a huge step though and i thank you. It's just hard to make it fit. I would even suggest a starter that works as a generator as well, to reduce parts needed on ship. It would be extremely appreciated.

AllensFish Its because i don't use the game to zip it, i use a much easier thing for me which apparently doesn't play nice with the in-game zip handler.

Thanks for figuring that out, I've seen a couple of people with that error now.
Bubbet You place down a starter, and crew will fill it with batteries, then you place wires(there is arrows on the blueprints that show the direction) And you can turn the wire without any issue despite the graphic not connecting, and when you've reached your destination just make sure a arrow is pointing into a part and it will give it energy, that can be done via directly a wire, or by a distributor for a reduced rate.
I mean you can see it move the energy via the graphic, each wire has a different movement value, generally the starters are slower than both the others, and the distributor is slightly slower than the wire. I've found the wire can handle about 3 distributors at the start.

how is that cable energy system works, because i can't figure this out. meaby mod doesn't work for me ?
Bubbet, your mods were like the only mods I used inside the game (they are great), now I deleted all mods and downloaded this new one.
'D:\Cosmoteer\Mods\bubbet.placeholdermod-0.0.3\mod.txt' not found exception when installed via game's installing thingy. And this big log I already saw in discussion when done manually.
hope you are working on this, cause i can't play with my bubbleshielded singlebeded ships now(

yeap that's it, shame that this is not working all the time but thanks for help
error...I hope it gets fixed
Update 0.0.4
Adding new wire types.
Underground wire, goes under one block.
2 way splitter, splits the energy in two ways instead of 3.
Distributor re-balances.
Fixed final ammosprite for all wires.
Bubbet I would tentatively argue that it doesn't necessarily need to be extremely balanced. It just needs to be realistic. Of course balancing is important but not to the level at which we cannot have fun with this stuff in creative or modded bounty hunter mode. Personally i most of my time in creative and then i go to bounty hunter mode to test my ships out. So you could feasibly make a version that is more suited to realism and fun rather than the standard campaign. And I know it wouldn't be very difficult as I've poked around in your code. A name change maybe and some tweaked stats. All in all, love your stuff and I'm glad you're doing it!
