Compatibility:This mod doesn't overwrite any core files and should play nice with other mods.

You simply need 5 crate, Au is for gold, Fe is for Steal
oh thanks :)
nevermind it still doset work
Updated.
Where does the work stations appear in? Like, what tab? Production?
I was wondering if there are plans to update this to a13?
The mod seems compatible when loading, however when building the workbenches they don't auto connect to the powergrid. However connecting it manually - by building an extra conduit to connect straight to the workbench - makes the graphics crash and the savegame becomes unplayable. (Permadeath savegame)
In a regular savegame the autosave before connecting still works.
I also use quite a few other mods, but i believe this is the only one causing crashes currently.
Mod will be updated to Alpha 14 and released on the workshop. I'll also continue to use Nexus.
Woot! I'm glad to hear this, Pandora!!! I'll be looking for it.
We look forward to seeing this mod brought back to life.
It was a very useful mod to have.
Keep up the good work.
Version 5.0 for Alpha 15c is now on nexus and Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=773357081)
Nice
please please don't over-write core parent defs in you mod.
In the ResourceBase you changed the stack limit to 6 and that affects EVERY mod and def that calls to that def.
If your going to make changes like that please write a new def to define the change...
My bad. Please check the latest version and report any further conflicts.
With the release of Alpha 16, an update is coming.

1.1 Update incoming, please stand by...

Ohhh, did someone open the Pandora cyrosleep box ? :-)
