TOOL Features Update and Tutorial
Added 2020-07-06 16:32:25 +0000 UTCTOOL has been updated with three new features.
I've created a video tutorial for all of TOOL's features to hopefully help lower the barrier to entry.
- Precision Scaling: I've added the option for numerical scaling so you can have a full range of creativity.
- TOOL Mode: Single-click switching of objects/exclusion of objects. Alt-click objects to join or remove them from a group.
- Gravity Pull: Alt-click the ground with objects active to nudge them in the direction you clicked. The object will move more the further away you click.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Why is there no MovableDialog option?
There will be another update very soon that will fix the dialog box glitches while keeping TOOL's dialogs movable, meaning the two separate options are going away.
Keep an eye on my patreon or twitter for it, I just couldn't get it perfect in time for release.
Edit: If you were missing options in other languages, please re-download.
Instructions:
To install, you just need to open the zip below and drag the two files inside to your Mods folder. Make sure mods and script mods are both turned on in your gameplay options -> Other tab.

2020-07-09 13:08:30 +0000 UTCThank you very much. This will make all our lives much easier when building. I don't know why this is not in the game, but thank heavens you created this. As an architect, I use TOOL often lately.

2020-07-08 04:59:36 +0000 UTCI really like the new features and the tutorial. I am wondering though would it ever be possible to be able change terrain at some point? thinking it could be copied from somewhere within the zone to another spot?

2020-07-07 12:37:48 +0000 UTCThanks for the video, very useful. There is a white box in the menu, you have to do the French translation. Orders have already been translated, has someone taken over the role for this? If not, I have to review my translation work, thank you. (The TOOL works, now, in my game, only downside, "the recording under" is hidden behind a window, you have to click to do it, but it's minor as a concern, thank you for this beautiful tool)
