steelfeathers Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 So...has anyone else noticed how the upside-down power pipes and conduits added by Contraptions can't, you know, actually be placed on the underside of anything? They snap to the ground as if they were meant to be placed right-side-up, but if you try to place it on the ceiling, nope! Not happening. To test, I compared the new conduits with the old wire conduits. Sure enough, the old ones can be placed on ceilings and the undersides of roofs. Just...not the new ones. I don't understand snapping and collisions, so would anyone else be willing to take up the task of fixing these upside-down items so that they can actually be used as intended?

AngryHamster Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 My ceiling conduits work great, as long as I try to attach them to the floor...... Ceiling not so much. When I try to attach them to any ceiling they go right thru the roof literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qbix0mat Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) So, did anyone find a solution yet? All of my conduits are snapping to th floor, even those that are clearly designed to snap to the ceiling. This is a bug, but if some people don't encounter it... maybe there is a workaround? EDIT: And yes, I use mods, but currently none that add to or change the construction menu. There are no custom mod parts I try to snap the conduits to, it's all vanilla and the concrete stuff.

spacefiddle Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 This mod says it fixes this. Dead link. Anyone know what this was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loxly Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 This mod says it fixes this. Dead link. Anyone know what this was? It was a mod that fix the conduits so they could be placed on the ceiling, like the OP was asking about. I'm not home to check my load order, but I think it only changed the mesh so it would snap to the ceiling. Why it was remove, I have no idea.

pra Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 the ceiling conduits work, if you use one of the curved wall elements first, and snap the ceiling elements to them. The mod was removed because it broke the snapping of ceiling conduits to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
