You need to make the area bigger on the tower side, so that there is room for the ramp.

You can also try setting ore filter to e.g LOW or MED and it will dig a bit shallower, consequently leaving more space for ramp.

Or you can make your access ramp by hand, manually.

Good luck and thanks for reporting.

I checked the code and there are things that could potentially affect performance when entering Layers L, but it should not be in a big way like you describe.

If it happens when the mod is deactivated it’s a rather good sign ATD is not the culprit in your case. I will keep ears open for other users with similar problems.

I will look into it. Which version are you using?

If you put the connectors over the liquid dumps instead of over the only spot a support pillar would fit, pillars should form and you should be able to keep a fully working blueprint. See the output belts on my furnace blueprints, for example.

Yup, I absolutely could! But as I mentioned in that original post, I just can't be…

Ahh! I've seen this. The problem is that the conveyors are "unsupported" and there's no valid place to put the supports, since support doesn't travel through connectors. It's quite infuriating for compact desalinator builds like this, since I have to rebuild that pipe reaching over the seawater pumps every time I want to build another one:

I will consider it.

Highlight and mark a growth bracket for harvest

You could probably get it to mark that if you scan for rock with the depth limit of your base. Scanning will only add or change designations, never remove.

You want some way to clear designations continually as the mining progresses?

So, for the moment the mod choses a place for the ramp somewhere within the tower area. If you want the ramp in a particular place, I suggest you narrow the area down, so that it only leaves space for the ramp in the place that you want it.

I might improve the ramp-algorithm with turning ramps or the ability to select from several ramps in the future. But for now, working with the area, blockin…

So, right now there's no way to target ALL resources. None(Auto) just targets everything except rock and dirt.

Those bumps are probably debris, which it has designated for removal.

Considering adding a saddle type slope with one corner up and one corner down. This would allow ramps to make prettier 90 degree turns, but not sure if it excavates/dumps properly.

Done.

There will be an option for flatter bottoms in the next release.

There will be a warning message in the next release if the ramp could not be fully created.

It sounds like you’re talking about an ”exclusion filter”, being able to set one or two materials that should be avoided in the designation?

The ramp is created after the ore designation and only if there is room in the area for a ramp. Increase the area or create a manual ramp.

I definitely might look into that. Some sort of flat(-ter) bottom mode.

There is option to limit floor to less than max depth. But you want to dig out more rock to make flatter bottom?

I didn’t dip into localizing my mods yet and I didn’t understand every nuance of this, but it sounds like mod localization needs some attention if we want modders to bother with localization.
