Terrain Tool

Description
The Terrain Tool allows you to place voxels of all kinds such as grasses, sands, soils, stones, ice, and snow... even Digi's concrete! Terrain types from all of the vanilla planets and asteroids are available!

Basic Information
  • The Terrain Tool uses Terrain Mix to place terrain voxels and can be made in an assembler.
  • The Terrain Tool has two modes: Soil/Stone mode and Snow/Ice mode.
  • Each mode has it's own terrain mix. Both can be made in an assembler
  • When the Terrain Tool is selected you will see a green box. This box determines where the terrain voxel will be placed.
  • The amount of Terrain Mix needed for each placed terrain voxel is determined by the volume size of the green box.
  • As you resize the box, the amount of Terrain Mix needed is displayed on screen.
  • For help on all of the Terrain Tool controls, press the right mouse button or type in chat: /terrain help.

Ideas/To Do
  • Figure out how to update ammo quantity in the toolbar when tool mode is switch. It's doable but glitchy. For now, when placing terrain, a message will appear showing how much mix you have left.
  • Crushed ice. Will be used to make Snow/Ice Mix.

Credits
Terrain Tool would not be possible without Digi's awesome Concrete Tool!
I appreciate the time and effort Digi has put into Concrete Tool and other mods. I am in no way claiming the hard work for this as 99.9% of the code in Terrain Tool is all Digi! All I added was about 25ish lines of code and a few changes here and there. Egads! I hope I didn't horribly break anything!
A big THANK YOU goes to Digi for allowing me to post my meager edits as Terrain Tool!

-Take a look at Digi's workshop for other fine mods!-

Trying to use CTRL+B to snap terrain tool into a straight line, or plane, but for some reason it doesn't work.

Is it possible to make the tool bigger? Where in the code is that?

Hello and first of all thank you for this wonderful mod.

With the last update there is a problem : the devs have changed the categories and in particular that of the character's tools.

To be clear : the object still exists and everything works perfectly as before.

But when you press the G key on the keyboard to see the categories and move (click and drop in the shortcut bar box) the tool, it is no longer found in the character's tools category.

You have to type the name in the search field and there you immediately find the tool and you can move the tool to the shortcut bar again.

This is a minor problem but maybe you could fix it, thanks!

On the production screen the name of this tool is an empty string. Can you fix it ?

Make a flatten mode for this tool! For bases and stuff.
