How do you activate the crane?

当使用控制器切换到高级构建模式的时候，鼠标的左右键正常，但Ping键无效（可能对应的是鼠标中键），只能用控制器的Ping键，能修复下吗

You come because drag 'n drop no longer works? You don't know how the crane works? You'll find a “crane” at the entrance to the restaurant and you have to use it. Have fun :)

how do i even use advanced build mode?

oh so I CAN drag with mouse. Shit, I have no idea what's wrong with my setting...

false alarm, preferencesystem wasnt installed

having an issue with this mod. the main menu when the game first opens is missing and it gets fixed when i uninstall this mod

@742766 Sounds more like you messed something up on your own PC

Can I use mouse to drag like the Drag N' Drop mod?
At first I thought it's because I use controller but I reopen the game with keyboard and still can't drag and even can't use the crane this time.

Grabbing a pot during the day coming out of the crane mode crashes the game. Other than that it's great

how do i use the crane in the first place

Hey, the recent update to the mod (crane owner) is amazing. I no longer have to join with my keyboard, move things around, then remove input during prep days. its almost like we got drag n drop back.

but I was wondering if it's possible to add a feature where you can highlight a group of appliances and pretty much drag and drop them as a whole.

Not sure how coding would work and how difficult that would be... and part of me wants to learn coding just so i can make that happen... but I know absolutely nothing about coding or even where to start.

Is this idea possible?


Thank for the update!

Unfortunate, but understandable. Would it be possible to have MB4 be registered as a ping button, similar to how MB1 counts as Grab and MB2 counts as Interact? With Drag & Drop I used to be able to do everything with the mouse during prep. Now I need to use my left hand to press the ping button and only the ping button.

No. Not anytime in the foreseeable future

Would it be possible to have an option that allows you to pick up a blueprint cabinet with it's blueprint, instead of only the blueprint stored inside of it?

See below comment

Any chance to have an option to use the mouse for the crane when using controller for gameplay?

It depends on whether the crane bug, or the other KL bugs are a big game breaker for you. If it isn't then those mods can continue to be used. If it is, then unfortunately there's not much we can do immediately.

Currently speaking to other mod authors regarding what we can do about the KL bugs actually. So we'll see where that goes.

how would one play with mods then?

@MFeltmann That's a KitchenLib bug. Uninstall KitchenLib and you will be placed at your current position instead

would it be possible for it to spawn you at the door or where the crane is instead of the middle?

VolcanBrimstone THANK YOU

I started a couple of days ago having an issue with the crane placing back in the middle of the room T_T Using the crane is fine, but when I switch back to human I'm put in the middle of my build.

CrabCrabbo hold the ping button to both enter and exit crane mode

I'm sorry, I know I'm dumb but I don't understand how to activate the crane mode and I don't see it anywhere. I've tried most of the classic buttons. Pls SOS

@IcedMilo thanks for the response. I understand the level slippery slope, already almost level 5 so shouldn't have to worry much. Could it be a second mod? I might look into developing it myself

@Tim No, and unfortunately I'm not inclined to bypass it because it's a slippery slope. Getting to Level 6 should be a matter of ~7 hrs playtime total casually tho

I was using the drag n' drop designer, but now cannot use the advanced build mode because I am still below level 6. Is there any mod that bypasses this requirement?

@Gus Yes, it had that. Plan to reimplement it at some point

I'm not sure if the Drag and Drop Mod had this feature, but I'm wondering if you can add it to this one.

A setting to keep the orientation of appliances.

I hate having to re-rotate a grabber after moving them around.



Thanks for this mod! Drag'n'Drop was my favourite mod since the update. Shame that it doesn't work anymore.

@dascia Once my kitchen got more complex, I just added a second player via keyboard input, then use the 2nd player via the mouse to move things around. Once I'm done with moving stuff around, I remove the keyboard input (hit esc, then remove input) which removes the second player. Hope this is helpful :)

Appreciate the feedback, I'm a controller player unfortunately. Thanks.!

Keyboard emulation with Steam Input
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_AKQ0ck3tb0Kvb_r9qylxKUdz4O1wVmw26jZnkj_K6M

@dascia Not currently. The game integrates the mouse more tightly to the keyboard player in PlateUp! v1.2.0 and using the mouse while being a controller player will result in adding another player (the keyboard player).

The only ways at the moment are
1. To use the keyboard for play instead of a controller. Mouse will be available for you
2. Emulate the controller as a keyboard using 3rd party software, turning your controller into a "keyboard" input
3. Configure Steam Input to do that emulation. Switch227 created the layout and made a good doc guide. Not sure if I am able to share such a link here. If it doesn't work, ask around in the discord and you will probably find your way to it soon enough

Will we be able to use drag and drop like features? Like the actual moving things with a mouse? I'm partially disabled and it's the only thing that gets me through lol.

At some point

Are there any plans on having Held tools be positioned correctly when using the Crane in Day time? things like Tray Stand, Clipboard, Scrubby Brush, etc are not shown on the crane.

Is it possible to add the ability to put grey blueprints back into the blueprint cabinet

@IcedMilo, Thank you for this advanced information!

Love this mod! How do we adjust the rotating grabber while in prep mode? Pressing the ping button as the crane just performs a ping. Thanks.

@ZokRadonh That's a bug with KitchenLib. If you are fine not using mods that require KitchenLib, you can unsubscribe from it and the problem will resolve itself. Otherwise you will have to wait for KitchenLib to update which might take some time.

@HecksOXO Options => PreferenceSystem => Super Crane => Movement

how do you change the crane moement speed?

Nice, the first crane mod! Is it possible to teleport player to position of crane after ending advanced build mode? I am always stuck in the map center in the middle of the automated kitchen.
