downgrade_duplicate
The Mod Manager is reporting an error because it's trying to modify an outdated copy of the game. This could be caused by one of two things:
1. One of the installs connected to the Profile you have selected is still running a previous version. To fix this, either uninstall it, update it, or switch to a different Mod Manager profile so that it isn't considered in the update process.
2. You have leftover files in your install directory from downgrading to play a previous version. To fix this, uninstall the game (verify files won't fix this!), delete the game install directory if it still exists (this is NOT the AppData folder, but the location where you installed the game), then reinstall the game, and reopen SMM.

It looks like you may have started the game again between the crash and generating the zip, because I'm not seeing a relevant crash in the logs
I don't think downgrade_duplicate is relevant to your issue
oh ok let me replicate the crash and then create the zip
Also what do you mean by 'sized up'?
increase scale
Using what mod?
I think its a mod that allows it
Yes, it's not a base game feature
Im not sure now which one, let me check
I believe its infinite nudge
Yeah that can probably do it!
Don't know if people have really tried scaling pipes before, might need to consult @SirDigby {Mod Name} on this one

Am I the first one trying to scale pipes lol
Can you give a little more information on exactly what you're doing?
Does it happen no matter how you do it? Otherwise,
Where are you starting the pipe from? Foundation, another pipe, specific machine
Where are you ending the pipe? Same questions
Which build mode are you using? (Straight, curve, etc)
I tried both types mk1 and 2, just locking the hologram and scaling up the hologram and then pressing LMB to build it, thats when game crashes
just pointing to a foundation
default mode
just trying to place down a small segment
only the pipe scales up not the support
happens no matter how I place it
gonna try 1 increment up and down
Suspect this is just a limitation of the mod, but we'll need to wait for Digs to confirm
Inf Nudge doesn't even move pipes, only supports... maybe it wasn't supposed to scale up without the supports?
it crashes for me too
Solution
Yeah, it just doesn't work. Best advice is to just not try
I can build scaled down, 1 increment top, 2 and 4 increments bottom
nvm the pipe is same size, it just scales down the support
or perhaps its just the length
I scaled the support first, but the pipes are messy
is that normal size pipes?
no, I scaled before
Pipe implementation is not simple, so I'm guessing it's just never gonna work
funny
did u manage to build the thick pipe?
I just showed what happened
it built normal?
no it freaks out
lol
In any case, sounds like this one is a "won't be fixed" situation (which makes sense from what I know of the implementation of pipes in this game!)
for me it just shortens the length of each segment
its interesting nonetheless lol
so cant play with diff scale pipes then. got it
is there an only visual alternative
that doesnt have the functionality
I think there's some mods which have beams which look similar to pipes, those might be scalable
ooh
that might work
>mod more beams and pillars

More Beams and Pillars
35 more Beams and pillars that can be bigger. Includes paintable Connectors too.

If this isn't the mod you were looking for, try a different spelling.
