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

  • 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.[/list]
  • [list][*]Potentially every mod that adds structures. Details: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2592517779/3274687384250470345/
  • The upgrading of structures is disabled on rafts and anything that counts as a platform saddle.[/list]
  • [h1]CKF:[/h1]
  • [list][*]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).[/list]
  • [h1]MrRadTools[/h1]
  • [list][*]Limited compatibility. Building is functional, but upgrading is mostly non-existent(only foundation, ceiling and vanilla sized walls).[/list]

  • 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.[/quote]
  • The pulling feature likely doesn't currently work with stack mods.
