    No slots show up in the parts menu but I don't know why. Does anyone know whats wrong with this?

    Code:
        "slotType" : "firebird_body",
        "slots": [
            ["type", "default", "description"]
            ["firebird_trunk","firebird_trunk", "Trunk"],
        ],

    Are you able to load it in game? or are you getting console errors and no loading.

    On the other side of things;
    Is the part you're referencing in the slot set up to be used in that slot? On the flipside of things, this is what this code should look like in the part you're trying to use;

    Code:
       
    //Here is the name you called for in your other JBeam to be found in the slot.
    "slotType" : "firebird_trunk",
        "slots": [
            ["type", "default", "description"]
          //This would be where you'd put the slots for this part
        ],
    Don't forget to name the part correctly aswell. The name of your part should be whatever you set the default part as in the JBeam.

    The original JBeam code you showed seems correct unless you're getting errors suggesting otherwise. Just put this new code in the other part and see what happens.



    also, @Nadeox1 or another moderator, could you please move this to Mod support?

    Ok the trunk loads now but the game says there's an instability. I don't know how to figure out what's causing that but I guess the beam settings might be too strong

    Chances are you have some beams connecting nodes of vastly different weights, your Beam settings might be set too high, or really it could be a number of things other than this.


    Narrow the instability down to the part. After that, start tweaking the part until you find what is causing the instability. Then fix the instability.

    Good luck, and I am happy to hear you got the slots issue sorted out :)
