Concrete Tool - placing voxels in survival

This mod adds a tool that can place concrete asteroid voxels (not blocks!) which needs 'ammo' in order to work, primarily for survival use.

Usage in survival

• Make the tool (Concrete Tool) in an assembler;
• Make some ammo (Concrete Mix) in the assembler as well;
• Equip it from the G menu like any other tool;
• Aim at an asteroid or planet up close and click!
• You should be able to see the green box, that's where the concrete will be placed when you click.
• For other controls simply press right mouse button or type in chat: /concrete help

Concrete mix usage is box volume (Scale cubed) * 1 for add or 0.25 for paint/replace. Final value is rounded up (so it can't be below 1). You can see ingame exactly how much it will cost when rescaling box.

You can't place concrete voxels near floating objects or ships (they will glow red when you try to) but you can place them near or in stations.

Drilling concrete yields Concrete Rubble, which can be turned into Gravel using vanilla refineries or survival kit.

Another limitation is that you can only place voxels inside an asteroid/planet's bounding box (just like voxel hands).

TO-DO/FIX list/Known issues

- Prevent burrying some blocks that shouldn't be able to. - Paint option smears other materials - game issue (voxel hands do the same). - Concrete placement on planets to be restricted to existing surface only (currently you can place it mid-air :/ ) - FIXED [spoiler]Concrete mix (ammo mag) is considered explosive ammo (all ammo is, see bugreport: https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/22815-railgun-sabot-explodes-when-in-a-container-that-is-destroyed )[/spoiler] - Seems fixed [spoiler]Can't place concrete on boulders on planets - game issue (voxel hands have the same bug).[/spoiler] - FIXED [spoiler]Issue: Can't use it as a client in MP due to internal modAPI admin checks, workaround will come.[/spoiler] - FIXED [spoiler]make the tool trigger with mouse click[/spoiler] - FIXED [spoiler]prevent concrete from spawning naturally[/spoiler]
