Construction Tool

2592517779

If you enjoy this mod, please like and favourite.

A simple but powerful tool for building.
Upgrade Mode: Replace existing structures with any other potential structure of the same type (Thatch to Metal walls, for example), quickly.
Build Mode: Build any structure from a handy radial menu, instead of digging around in the crafting tab(or craft stations for that matter).

If you want to see a brief demo of the mod in use, please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOo_IoLbaKg

Usage & Settings Guide

• Theoretically compatible with all structure mods, by allowing the importing of data via external json files. See discussions for details.
  
• Works on most structure pieces.
  
• Compatible with S+ and S+ derivitives.
  
• Partially compatible with CKF: Remastered and CKF: Science Fiction. Some pieces can be upgraded(ie: walls) and others can not.
  
• Partially compatible with MRRadTools. Some pieces can be upgraded(ie: foundations) and others can not.
  
• Lots of admin configs to help with server balance.

• Potentially every mod that adds structures. Details: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2592517779/3274687384250470345/
  
• The upgrading of structures is disabled on rafts and anything that counts as a platform saddle.

• Inventory Requirement setting is ignored since these mods don't have inventory crafting anyways.
  
• Can upgrade SOME structures to/from a CKF structure(ie: foundations).

• Limited compatibility. Building is functional, but upgrading is mostly non-existent(only foundation, ceiling and vanilla sized walls).

Settings are saved into a .sav file on the server. You can back them up or copy/paste them into other servers for fast transfer of mod settings.

ScriptCommands:
cheat scriptcommand constructiontool hotloadurl "InsertUrlHere"
Useful when trying to build json. Can load remote data without a server reboot and a config edit. Make sure to wrap url in quotes.

The pulling feature likely doesn't currently work with stack mods.


More often than not, you get a busted version of the mod downloaded. Reinstalling it fixes so many problems.
