Ultimate Builder

Ultimate Builder

Precision building: freeze the build ghost to move and rotate it on every axis with grid snapping, and place pieces from a distance with the build camera.

Features

Advanced building

Page Advanced building (off by default). Press the freeze key (default Insert) to freeze the build ghost, then place it precisely:

• Arrows move it on the world axis closest to where the camera looks, Page Up/Down move it up/down.
• Alt + arrows / Page Up/Down rotate it on every axis. Ctrl = 1/10 step, Shift = 10x step (steps configurable).
• Optional grid size: the frozen ghost is aligned to a world grid. Mouse wheel rotation step configurable (22.5° = vanilla).
• Every placement rule still applies (wards, no-build zones, biome, distance, players in the way). Pieces that depend on the ground under them (plants, ground pieces, station extensions…) cannot be frozen. Placing or choosing another piece releases the ghost.

Build camera (players, inside sanctuaries)

Players can send the camera out of the character to place buildings from a distance. Because that could be abused to scout or to fight with an advantage, it works only inside an active sanctuary (so Wards and Sanctuary must be on), or, when Require a sanctuary is off, next to a workbench and is locked down in several ways. Everything is off by default and decided by the admin (panel page Build camera, listed with the building pages; config section 130 - Build camera).

| Option (config key) | Default | Range | What it does | |---|---|---|---| | Build camera for players (BuildCamera) | off | on / off | Turns the feature on for everybody on the server. | | Require a sanctuary (RequireSanctuary) | on | on / off | On: the camera works only inside an active sanctuary (Wards and Sanctuary must be on), as in 1.0.0. Off: it also works outside a sanctuary wherever a workbench is in building range; inside a sanctuary it works with or without a workbench. Outside a sanctuary it closes by itself when the character leaves the workbench. The maximum distance and all other limits apply either way. | | Build camera key (BuildCameraKey) | F8 | any key | Sends the camera out and brings it back. Personal setting of each player, never synchronized. | | Camera maximum distance (MaxDistance) | 25 m | 5 – 60 m | How far the camera may go from the character. It also can never leave the area of the sanctuary the character stands in, and never goes under the ground. | | Enemy distance (EnemyDistance) | 40 m | 10 – 100 m | The camera cannot be opened, and closes by itself, when a hostile creature (one that hunts: monsters, bosses, wolves, boars...; tamed and peaceful animals do not count) or a PvP player is closer than this to the character. | | Combat lock (CombatLockSeconds) | 30 s | 5 – 300 s | After the player was hit or attacked, the camera stays unavailable for this long. | | Wait after closing (CooldownSeconds) | 10 s | 0 – 300 s | Wait before the camera can be used again (0 = no wait). | | Hide creature info (HideEnemyInfo) | on | on / off | Names and health bars of creatures are hidden while the camera is out. |
