Field Generator

Description
Deploy forcefields to protect your buildings from destruction, provide oxygen, create a vacuum or even alter gravity.

There's a brief tutorial video linked above but if you want to just dive straight in, the items are crafted at the wiring station.

This is an early test build, so please let me know if you find any bugs and/or have any suggestions.

For those looking for a newer take on this concept, you may want to subscribe to Field Control Technology . It was inspired by this mod, but Pilch had retired from Starbound modding, and the code changes required were total, so I ended up writing an entirely new mod.

My mod allows you to define field areas that have arbitrary shapes and sizes, so you're not limited to rectangular areas or wiring-tool size ranges. Also, my mod (when combined with the Belter Dungeons mod) enables protection from environmental hazards such as deadly radiation, chill, and heat.

My mod doesn't share any assets or code with this mod, so both should be fully compatible with each other.

I love this thing. It's so well designed.

what do i do if the field glitches? I broke the field generator and forgot to turn it off but now there is a field that I cannot turn off or reset.

That's an interesting question but I have no idea what the answer is. Also I don't have the game installed anymore so it's unlikely I'll add any new features to the mod any time soon, sorry :)

is it possible to get this device to add or remove weather to the planet?

I forgot there was an admin console it's all good now lol

@Thund3rMonk3y1: do you mean the console just doesn't work or what?

@Bohij: when you're in admin mode, the generator should have an override option that will place the field even in another is in the way
