vintagestory-linearpower-cont-0.4.1.zip 1-click install

See https://mods.vintagestory.at/linearpower for details.

This is just recompiled so it works^{[citation needed]}

Other than that, no changes, besides fixing a null reference exception when Immersive Sawing mod is used.

Known Issues:

Sometimes the saw is visually misaligned with the sawmill
One client side crash I haven't been able to reproduce yet (when inserting a log with Immersive Sawing enabled for the first time)
Logs dropping in from a hopper doesn't work sometimes. Can be worked around by removing it and manually inserting the block into the sawmill.

Arthum sorry for the late reply! I haven't been playing VS much but I'll take a look and see if I can at least recompile it for the latest patch!

Any possibility you might update this for 1.22?

Foxtrot88 yay! glad it's working for you!! :)

Second update: I downgraded the mod, deleted my instance of the slider crank I had, went into creative, spawned myself a new one, and placed it. It works properly now. The issue was with pre-existing, pre-patched cranks. Connected it to the windmill, it's working wonders now. Thank you SO MUCH!!!

EDIT: Sorry, the image was enormous.

Zalea I'm sorry but now it crashes trying to even LAUNCH the game. Here's a new crash report.

Placed an oak slidercrank on the floor, not even connected to anything, and game crashed
