Hammer: Difference between revisions

Help

This mode is the default mode that is selected when the hammer is held. It allows you to move parts to any location you desire, except inside other parts. On rings of planets, It may not work cause you are at negative Y coordinate so build at top of asteroids.

===='''How to use it:'''====

Hammer breaks at negative y coordinates. To use it at them u need to shake your camera while holding item or start moving item around yourself using hammer.

You have three levels of precision: 1, 0.5 and 0.1 . 1 should be the one you use the most, the rest are for precise building or separating [[Wire|wires]] or [[Chute|Chutes]] that would normally touch. You can copy part size by selecting part that you want to resize and hovering your cursor on other part and clicking F.

<!--This mode allows you to add hinges to a face of a part-->

This mode allows you to paint parts to the color of your choosing. While this purely decorative, color-coding things can still help when organizing [[Bin|bins]] or [[Chute|chutes]]! For example, let's imagine you have 20 bins containing resources and you want copper, but they all look the same! How will you find what you want? If your bins were color-coded, you would simply have to go to the orange bin because you know it would contain copper, instead of searching trough every bin you own.

*MaxForce: The maximum "Strength" of the spring. For example; image a spring connected to a stationary part and a large block of iron, the block is moved and the spring is thus extended. If this spring had high MaxForce, it would pull the large block to be at its FreeLength, if it had low MaxForce, it wouldn't be able to pull the block and would stay extended. Range: n > 0 Default: inf

*Stiffness: Changes How much the spring naturally moves. (Most visible when a spring is attached to a stationary ceiling and a part free of movement) Range: n > 0 Default: 1000

*FreeLength: The normal length of the spring, if extended, the spring will try to retract to this length, if compressed, the spring will try to expand to this length. Range: n > 0 and n > Distance between both parts. Default: nil (Length will be defined by distance between chosen parts)

*Damping: ??? Range: n > 0 Default: 2

*Length: How long the rope is. Range: n > 0 and n > Distance between both parts. Default: nil (Length will be defined by distance between chosen parts)

*Restitution: How elastic the rope is. Range: 0 - 1 Default: 0

*Length: How long the rod is. Range: n > 0 and n > Distance between both parts. Default: nil (Length will be defined by distance between chosen parts)

To use this mode, select the constraint you want to add, input your parameters (Optional), click two parts and the constraint will appear between both parts. if you want to remove a constraint, click one of the two parts with the Cjoint mode selected.

This mode allows you to configure parts, this is important for any factory (even the most basic) and to any contraption or system more complex (like a ship or a [[Microcontroller]]). The most basic utilization of this mode is configuring a [[Extractor]], if you were to mine [[Copper]], you would have to place the [[Extractor]] then using this mode to change <code>MaterialToExtract</code> to "Copper", thus allowing it to mine the [[Copper]].

===='''How to use it:'''====

To use it, hover over the part you want to Configure and left-click it, the gray rectangle on the right should show the properties of the part. There are two types of properties: rectangles you can write in (Like <code>MaterialToExtract</code> of an [[Extractor]]) or checkmark boxes (Like <code>Toggled</code> of a [[Switch]]). When you have put the parameters you wanted in the menu click "Apply" to make the properties take effect.
