Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions for Smart!.
Symptoms: Pressing Smart! keys does nothing
Solutions:
- Check keybind settings — Go to Options > Keybindings > Smart! Scaling Controls
- Look for conflicts — Another mod or game function may use the same key
- Rebind the key — Try a different key assignment
- Restart the game — Some keybind changes require restart
Symptoms: Holding modifier keys doesn't prevent rotation when scrolling
Cause: InfiniteNudge mod intercepts scroll wheel input
Solutions:
- Use NumPad instead — NumPad 8/5 work without scroll wheel
- Disable InfiniteNudge — If you don't need it
- Use Smart! Panel — Press K for visual controls
Symptoms: Placed items clip into each other
Solutions:
-
Add spacing — Hold
;and scroll to add gaps - Check item dimensions — Some items need more space
- Verify spacing axis — Use NumPad 0 to cycle axes
Symptoms: Warning appears when scaling
This is intentional! Smart! warns you when grids exceed 100 items to prevent:
- Accidental resource consumption
- Performance issues
- Placement mistakes
Solutions:
- Proceed if intentional — Warning doesn't prevent placement
- Break into sections — Build in smaller batches
- Check resources — Ensure you have enough materials
Symptoms: Placed buildings have default/wrong recipe
Solutions:
- Use Recipe Selection — Hold U before placing to select recipe
- Use Smart! Panel — Press K and use recipe dropdown
- Use Extend — Clone from a correctly-configured building
Symptoms: Auto-connect preview doesn't appear or connections missing
Solutions:
- Check if enabled — Hold U while aiming distributor, verify enabled
- Check range — Move closer to target buildings
- Check compatibility — Ensure connector types match (input/output)
- Check tier — Verify belt/pipe tier is unlocked
Symptoms: Power poles don't auto-connect
Solutions:
- Check if enabled — Hold U while aiming power pole
- Increase range — Adjust connection range setting
- Check reserved slots — Ensure poles have available slots
Symptoms: No manifold preview when aiming at existing building
Solutions:
- Same building type — Must hold matching hologram type
- Check for manifold — Source must have connected distributors
- Aim directly — Point at the production building, not the distributor
Symptoms: Cloned manifold has fewer connections than source
Cause: Source connectors were already occupied
This is intentional! Extend intelligently skips occupied connectors.
Solutions:
- Check source — Verify source connectors are available
- Manual connection — Add missing connections manually
- Use fresh source — Extend from an unconnected building
Symptoms: Extended manifold doesn't transport items/fluids
Solutions:
- Check source — Verify source manifold is working
- Check tier compatibility — Ensure belt/pipe tiers match
- Check recipes — Verify buildings have correct recipes set
Symptoms: Smart! HUD elements not visible
Solutions:
- Check HUD settings — Verify game HUD is enabled
- Check mod status — Ensure Smart! is enabled in SMM
- Restart game — Some display issues resolve on restart
Symptoms: Pressing K does nothing
Solutions:
- Must have hologram — Panel only opens with active hologram
- Check keybind — Verify K is bound in Options
- Check for conflicts — Another mod may use K
Current Status: Multiplayer is not officially supported but under active testing.
