If anyone else wanted those questions answered.

Answers to my Earlier Questions:
1. The range is 1800, and so is the stretch range; I've found that the module needs you to be a bit more deliberate in what you're trying to accomplish as a result.
2. It's twice as powerful as the vanilla component, which has let me fish more out of the solar zones.

Things you Might Also Want to Know:
xceled is correct about the sensor array mod. You will absolutely need one to get the full value out of this mod. A mod that I like and am grateful for. Additionally, as with other ship components you can select the tractor beam individually and set it to either auto, always push, or always pull. If you're solar mining, set it to pull. It also doesn't seem like multiple XR Tractor beam components can work on the same target, but that may be inherited from the vanilla game design for all I know.

Hi xceled, thank you for your work on this. I have questions:

What is the range of the tractor beam with this mod installed?
Can you quantify what you mean by increased power?

@Kokorocodon I think there is at least 1 other mod that already covered that, check out https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2882476741

Can we get a bigger thruster version?

@Yeetus Glad its working well for you. I don't play multiplayer so appreciate you testing it with that.

Quick update : i found why it wasn't working and it had nothing to do with your mod :)

Thank you, this with your other mod that boosts the sensor is a life savior to get astroids from the star's radius. One small issue though it does seems like the mod isn't working for multiplayer is it just me ?
