i downloaded it and the fix and i couldn't find it at the infinity express

Unfortunately the markers are removed once you switch out of the ruler, so it isn't that useful to set a plan for large structures, just to constantly check if you are keeping the distances you wanted.

Well...it did the job and measured but i couldn't see any animations or cursor but did give me a measurement.

This mod's broken since 1.2, you can install that one to fix: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=883901189

I cant summon config menu, i equiped the ruler with a config tool in 1 slot, idk what is wrong

Very useful mod, saves a lot of time when building symmetrical structures or ships. I would love to see an option to keep the ruler visible even when you put away the tool so that you can place the blocks with visual guide still visible.

It would also be awesome if it was possible to place multiple rulers. (You could have another item added that when used will erase all placed lines)

...and that was a constructive comment...

your mod sucks

Read... JUST BELOW YOUR COMMENT...
Starry_Dragon 19 May, 2017 @ 6:27pm 
It... doesn't work. No markers, no text, no nothing.
Gladys Oroborus 25 Apr, 2017 @ 2:05am 
Just above in the popular discussion, there's a thread named "Unofficial fix for 1.2"
And 5 comments under yours, there's something about that.
Is reading optionnal at school nowadays?
Busts-A-Nut 24 Apr, 2017 @ 4:33pm 
No markers appear, but the distance still appears overhead, other settings for displaying the distance do not work
🐱 23 Mar, 2017 @ 2:56pm 
(Which mods are you talking about? I don't see how that fix would fix other mods unless they're based on the Holoruler :YelaxotCat:
Gladys Oroborus 23 Mar, 2017 @ 12:40pm 
@1MINISKIDI, don't thank me, thank -------> 😺 him! ^^
Are you lost? 23 Mar, 2017 @ 11:36am 
@Dracheneisen

thanks that worked for me :) also removes the same problem in other mods!
Gladys Oroborus 15 Mar, 2017 @ 3:50am 
Fix tested and approved.
🐱 14 Mar, 2017 @ 10:59pm 
I'll write it both here and in the discussion thingy I guess, I've made an unofficial fix for the 1.2 break: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=883901189

PLS UPDATE PLS PEOPLE NEED THIS
Gladys Oroborus 7 Mar, 2017 @ 12:46pm 
Hmmm, last post from the creator was in august, I think we can stop waiting for an update. Too bad.
SirUmnei 7 Mar, 2017 @ 12:43pm 
Can you give this a fix please? Or at least let us know if you're updating it or not.
Umbreon™ 11 Feb, 2017 @ 9:14pm 
I wanted to come back to Starbound and almost instantly tried to use this mod again, but it doesn't work anymore.

This really needs an update, I have lots of trouble building symmetrically without it.
Gladys Oroborus 9 Feb, 2017 @ 4:32am 
Got the same freeze problem... Some mods seem to have trouble loading their items, freeze is happening when you select the item in your hotbar or inventory? Then try Ctrl+alt+suppr, or alt tab, anything to come back to desktop, then back to the game, it works for me. The bug appears only the first launch, after each time I launch my PC...
Are you lost? 8 Feb, 2017 @ 6:52am 
This is yet another mod that freezes my game when i equip anything from the mod.

.... what can i do....
Xaliber 8 Feb, 2017 @ 5:57am 
Whoa brockster17, if you can make a better mod why don't you fix this much needed mod?
Gladys Oroborus 5 Feb, 2017 @ 1:08am 
It's not photoshopped, the mod used to work before the 1.2 update of starbound. This mod just needs a fix... It's still useful, but more tricky without visuals...
kirb 4 Feb, 2017 @ 7:43pm 
The "actual gameplay footage" image in the thumbnail is photoshop, as the holoruler does not actually make a red line and the only dimensions that pop above your head are "1x8". I could make a better mod than this. :steamfacepalm:
ZOIYYK 31 Jan, 2017 @ 7:30am 
Not fixed yet?
Void, the Violet Knight 23 Jan, 2017 @ 3:36pm 
Right now, the mod does not work. It needs an update.

ThatApeGuy 16 Jan, 2017 @ 5:21am 
does not display start and stop markers only the text display shows up. Please fix this beyond useful mod.

and a side note why is this not a core game item?
Dorrivix 28 Dec, 2016 @ 12:08pm 
I've been using this mod off and on to help with building. Due to 1.2, It's completely non-functional. Please fix this soon, this mod is rather helpful.
Ickura 21 Dec, 2016 @ 4:33pm 
DARN hope this gets fixed soon.
Tanzia 17 Dec, 2016 @ 6:04pm 
like Rxg said, the red visual line of the ruler is invisible now. Also the "overhead static" and " line center" numbers appear to be invisible as well.
Mrhuzz 15 Dec, 2016 @ 5:44pm 
It seems the 1.2 update broke the visual on the ruler. It still gives you measurements with the default overhead numbers but you can't see anything else.
Stellario 25 Oct, 2016 @ 11:34am 
I really love this mod! :steamhappy: But bit seems kinda wierd to have the configuration be an entirely different item. Couldn't the ruler just be two handed?
Left Mouse: Point A
Right Mouse: Point B
Shift Click: Configuration
Gladys Oroborus 9 Oct, 2016 @ 11:41am 
Ok, I must say, the first time I see this mod, I was "meh, I don't need that"; but after a second thought, and lots of measures made with paint (and mistakes!), that mod is just great. Ok, it doesn't change the face of the world, like FU, but for picky builders like me ("that light must be at the center of the room!"), that's a must-have tool. Nicely implemented. Another mod for my list, thanks for the good work! ^^
Athos42 2 Oct, 2016 @ 10:59am 
Perfect.
💖 Officer Hotpants 💖 1 Sep, 2016 @ 6:33pm 
There's no way to make the marker stay put when you switch away, is there?
Royal_Starlord 28 Aug, 2016 @ 5:40pm 
Perfect for the perfectionist. :3

In case you're still subscribed to this section, you can now choose from 3 different text output modes, each with their own benefits. Check out the configurator's interface.

@"DeadMeerkat": I've recorded and commented on your suggestion in the dedicated thread.
walkin_here 24 Aug, 2016 @ 4:12am 
quick suggestion for the configurator, add a tick box to allow the ruler line to stay after you switch tool, useful for some instances.
Pygmyowl  [author] 21 Aug, 2016 @ 7:14am 
In case you've subscribed to this section, this is me letting you know that there's a BIIIIIIIIG update out. Now you can change the colours your HoloRulers use, on a per-item basis. So you can have a red one, a green one and even an invisible one! In case you need it. For whatever reason.

Thank you so much!
⛧trinqette⛧ 19 Aug, 2016 @ 11:00pm 
I didn't think it'd get fixed so fast. Thank you, community member with a like mind. Jesus Christ this was the most annoying shit before. Now all of my woes are solved!

Good now I don't need to be constantly paranoid that my build is 1 block off :steamhappy:
