What this mod does

This mod gives you full in-game control over the stats of major vanilla blocks, including:

🟦 Power Blocks

• Batteries (capacity, output/input, recharge multiplier)

• Hydrogen Engines

• Solar Panels

• Reactors

🟩 Production & Utility

• Refineries

• Assemblers

• Arc Furnaces

• O2/H2 Generators

🛠 Tools

• Grinders

• Welders

• Drills

• Ore Detectors

Every block gets its own Configurable Blocks section inside the terminal, letting you quickly tune multipliers, performance, or behavior — all client-side and painless.

🔍 Range Visualization (Tools Only)

Tools now include a “Show Range” button in the terminal.

Turning it on displays a clean, unobtrusive range sphere around the selected tool using a 6-ring debug visualization:

• Grinder radius

• Welder radius

• Drill sensor radius

• Ore detector range

This works for vanilla tools, modded tools, and ProtoTech blocks automatically.

The visualization is client-side only and has zero performance footprint.

🙏 Credits

Huge thanks to DarkStar for the inspiration with Configurable Vanilla+.
This mod was built from scratch but follows the same philosophy:
“Let players tune vanilla blocks without XML editing.”

🧑‍💻 Source / Notes

• Uses Sandbox.ModAPI terminal controls

• Uses custom line-drawn debug spheres
