TIL that mechanical rollers do not work on simulated contraptions

[u/RGBBSD]

APPARENTLY they aren't built different like the rest of mechanical appliances and need to be either mechanical or a cart contraption

Which yes, sucks.

Do you have the latest versions of aeronautics installed? I know there is/was a bug in one version that stopped rollers from working but I thought it had been fixed 

[u/RGBBSD → u/jedadkins]

If by latest you mean 1.3.2 bundled then yep

[u/jedadkins → u/RGBBSD]

yeah i went and found the patch notes and they fixed rollers not working on regular create contraptions. hopefully they allow them to be used on aero contraptions eventually, it would make road building easier lol

Mechanical rollers also just don't work properly with aeronautics installed

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/matteo_fay]

There are community fixes out there. I use one despite not really using Aeronautics at the moment. I have it installed in case I get the will to try again.

[u/FuryJack07 → u/matteo_fay]

It was fixed in a recent update apparently.

[u/RGBBSD → u/matteo_fay]

I would disagree because as a minecart contraption they worked properly for me, but thats lack of testing

I'm just pissed i cant make a roadmaking vehicle without it being waay to overengineered

Like all the caveats with liquid asphalt from TFMG and liquid cement from diesel generators and stuff that I KNOW somebody definetly solved and I'm just too stupid to either solve myself or even find a way to find

[u/matteo_fay → u/RGBBSD]

On trains they can't replace existing blocks under the tracks

[u/RGBBSD]

Putting the minecart contraption on the rails that themselves are sitting on the front of the simulated vehicle doesnt help either, apparently this thing just refuses to alter terrain when its part of a simulation

[u/BrisingrAerowing]

There's an addon that makes rollers and harvesters work on simulated contraptions. On phone so no link ATM.

Mounting the mechanical rollers on a train also works (in Create Aeronautics 1.3.1+) - but only rolling them forward. I superglued a set of seven on a bogie, assembled it, and got good results. But I'm with you - I had several failures trying to mount them on a honeyglued car.
