Description
It is one, and it is many...

Now in v1.3.0! (see full patch notes)

Is it alien technology? Is it ancient magic? Is it futuristic science? Is it forbidden sorcery? Is this just a dream? We are not quite sure... All we know is that you can now control the Singularity!

Demo video by Kelp Central Official

TOOLS
- Singularity: You can control a Singularity with various properties.

KEYBOARD CONTROLS
- [T]: Change Singularity type (hold).
- [LeftClick]: Call the Singularity to the cursor (hold to call it faster).
- [RightClick]+[Scroll]: Move cursor closer/further.
- [RightClick]+[MiddleClick]: Reinitialize cursor.
- [RightClick]+[Ctrl]: Increase move precision (hold).
- [L]: Remove Singularity.
- [O]: Open options menu.

CHARACTERISTICS
- Once called for the first time, the Singularity remains on the map forever.
- The cursor is represented by a sphere of small dots.
- The Singularity effect will apply to any object or player in contact with it.
- The Singularity can move through anything.
- Each Singularity type has its own effect:
-- Antimatter: Destroy materials of the selected hardness.
-- Frozen: Freeze objects in time.
-- Acceleration: Increase objects velocity.
-- Deceleration: Decrease objects velocity.
-- Attraction: Attract objects to the center.
-- Repulsion: Push objects away from the center.
-- Propulsion: Throw objects in one direction.
-- Antigravity: Negate objects gravity.
-- Protection: Make objects unbreakable.
-- Combustion: Ignite objects (only flammable ones).

KNOWN BUGS
- The singularity may fail to interact with some objects if you make it move too fast.
- Some object may dissapear if you apply too much force to them while they are frozen and then release them.
- Objects in antigravity may float up for no apparant reason when entering the field.
- Protected object may become destroyed as soon as they exit the Singularity if some special tools were used on them (eg: blowtorch).
- Objects may slow down faster then expected when entering the Deceleration Singularity.
- Objects may fall out of the Attraction Singularity if you move it too fast.
- Combusion only works on flammable materials (game limitation) so it won't trigger explosives.

DEV NOTES
Originally posted by About this mod:
This mod is the hidden child of my Bouncepads and Black Hole Launcher mods :p
In the comments of the BHL-X42, someone suggested to make it possible to move the black hole after placing them... But as I wanted the black holes to be 100% destroying everything they touched, I preferred not to add that. Yet I kept the idea in mind of a "movable sphere of destruction"and it somehow ended up as this mod ^^
So the cursor and singularity spawn is taken from my bouncepad mod as adapted to a spherical shape. And the singularity itself is similar to the black hole, except it can have a lot of different behaviors on the object contained in it.
About the colorful rotating wireframe sphere that serves as a tool, I had this shape in mind for quite some time and this mod felt like the perfect time to finally use it ;)
Not much to add about the different features, some of them took a lot of trial and error to configure the forces / accelerations in a way to would be effective, without breaking the game instantly.
I also had a lot of fun making the little particle effects that should represent what is happening inside the Singularity ^^

Mod updated! Now with a fancy ability selection wheel instead of spamming the same button over and over ;)

@pie_facing: I would need an external took for that, and they would probably look really ugly as steam won't allow too large gifs... So I guess a few screenshots as well as a video as soon as someone played with it and recorded one is good enough for me ;)
