Utility Bus 1.0.4: ducts no longer vanish under cladding
The same bug as with the signs: under composite cladding built afterwards, duct covers and connectors were invisible. From 1.0.4 they sit flush on the panel.
For the Signs & Decals mod it was reported that signs disappear under the game's composite cladding. While tracking down the cause it turned out that the Utility Bus had the same bug. If you laid a duct on a wall, floor or frame and built cladding over it afterwards, the duct covers and connectors were gone – hidden inside the 13 cm thick panel.
The cause: the duct cover keeps measuring where the visible face is and lies flush on it. In the game, however, composite cladding is not a wall, so the measurement skipped it.
- From 1.0.4 cladding counts like a wall. When it is built, covers and connectors move onto the panel right away; when it is removed, they move back – for all duct shapes and connectors on walls, floors and ceilings. On inside and outside corners each cover follows its own panel.
- Existing ducts under cladding correct themselves when the save is loaded.
The server and all players need 1.0.4. More in the guide.
