@Beb444 what mod are you using that uses tool core? (the issue could be with that mod instead)

Does this memory leak issue also affect singleplayer games?

Have you fixed the memory leak yet? Yes or no?

So after pooring over the logs for my server and going through mods. This mod has a memory leak and a bad one at that. It got so bad that the server couldn't find the base game textures and then crashed the entire server. Until this is fixed use at your own risk everyone

Has the memory leak issue been fixed? i like using this but can't while the memory leak causes issues on a multiplayer server

Hey Ash, i was wondering how to add a toolcore weapon to the custom turret controller. Cooper's Simple Laser Multitools (now with turrets) dont show up in the CTC's add weapons.

Any potential possibilities of support for range sliders within Toolcore someday? Frankly I am not sure if that would be best covered here or the individual mods that use it, but it would be a great help and welcome addition for many mods to utilize if they so chose.

tool core seams to cause me a memory leak, just spent about an hour going through mods to find this out. if anyone else is crashing this mod is why and any other mod that relys on it. but my buddy is fine so just me i guess
