Ever wondered how high you have dragged the lift top out while building? Been annoyed that your stackable poles became too tall because you couldn't see how high you made it? Well, now you can see this if you install this mod.

Currently does this to the Build Gun when in use:

• Shows the length and angle of conveyor belts
• Shows the height of conveyor poles and lifts
• Shows the length and angle of pipelines
• Shows the height of pillars
• Shows the relative position of projected holograms depending on spawn coordinates
• Shows the absolute position of holograms (optional)
• Shows the absolute position of existing buildings when in dismantle mode (optional)
• Can destroy terrain elements in dismantle mode (optional)
• Mass Dismantle - Use Delete to see area of effect, Ctrl-Delete to change diameter and Shift-Delete to mark things within the sphere. Dismantle as usual. The feature does give back the materials used for construction.
• Can set Build Gun Range and Delay
• Move Buildable

Little documentation exists for Move Buildable right now but the feature is enabled while in Dismantle Mode using Left Shift (default) and mode is set using the Left Alt key - Select between Mouse Look Movement or Key Movement.

The Move Buildable feature is a toggle, use Left Shift again to turn it off (will currently glitch if not toggled off - oversight).

When using Key Movement the WASD keys are used to move the building around 2D (X/Y), jump and crouch are used for Up/Down (Z) and Numpad + and - for Rotation. Scroll wheel is used for changing the movement speed.

Move Buildable allows multi-target movement using the Keys mode - select buildings by selecting additional dismantle targets and then toggle the feature on.

Keybindings can be customized.

Tip 1: For 'Relative Position' to work as a good measuring stick when building such as pillars/beams to build a flat, for example, Hypertube, use the pillar/beam hotbar to spawn a hologram on top of the other pillar/beam you want the new one to align with as the top of the pillar/beam will be 0, 0, 0. I used this method when building my latest Hypertube and it worked pretty well. It then becomes like a laser level with an LCD showing off-sets.

Tip 2: Use the mod's Mass Dismantle Mode to select lots of dismantle targets for moving buildings using the Move Buildable feature.

BGU is only active for as long as the Build Gun is active. Light-weight script accessing data from the base game.

I consider these features something which should be part of the base game, but here you go instead via a mod.

More features are coming.
