Explicit Quantum

Simple UE4SS LUA mod to add grid snapping to construction in Abiotic Factor.

The mod uses the numpad keys for precise adjustments.

Doesn't do anything cheat-y though in some cases it could allow placing things in a way that's impossible simply because placing items from where you're aiming in first person is rather limited.

Currently implemented features:

• []Snap to grid.

  []Nudge in a specific direction for smaller adjustments.

  []Lock or snap rotation to different angles.

  []Change the grid size.

  []Adjust the nudge/rotate amount for either super precision or larger tiled constructions.

  []Reset the nudge amount when changing items

  Install Instructions

  Download the files and put them in the right places.

  Download UE4SS from he requirements (the download is under releases in github, the mod is built/tested on v3. 0. 1)

  Download the mod file from NexusMods (under the Files tab).

  You need to unpack the zip files.

  UE4SS goes to the folder where the actual Abiotic Factor executable AbioticFactor-Win64-Shipping.exe is.

  This should be something like: /steamapps/common/AbioticFactor/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/.

  It's a few more levels down if you open the installed files from steam (right click, properties -> installed files -> browse).

  the .dlls (UE4SS.dll and dwmapi.dll) should be in the same folder as AbioticFactor-Win64-Shipping.exe and there should now be a /Mods sub folder.

  After unpacking the Explicit Quantum mod zip file there should be an ExplicitQuantum sub folder under /Mods.

  Enable the mod

  Open up the mods.txt in the /Mods folder and add the line

  ExplicitQuantum : 1

  To enable the mod within UE4SS.

  After this you should be able to run the game, the mod delays its loading for 5 seconds after you load in to the game to be super sure everything is ready and there should be a HUD notice on top of the screen once the mod has loaded.

  Don't forget to have numlock on and press Numpad 5 to toggle on grid snapping (nudging also requires this to be on).

  Step 3 (optional, recommended):

  You should probably disable the other generic UE4SS mods and features.

  GuiConsoleEnabled = 0

  In UE4SS-settings.ini is the most important one that could tank your FPS massively.

  In mods.txt you could set the other generic UE4SS mods (console etc) values to 0 to disable them. They're mostly used for digging around in games functions for mod development and debugging and such. The console stuff could be useful for error reporting if the mod bugs out.

  Disabling the default UE4SS Keybinds mod is strongly advised - it has keybindings that use the ctrl + numpad keys for UE4SS dumping functions that can crash the game if run after the main menu and are easy to accidentally trigger by trying to build things while crouching.

  Keybinds

  Important! - Hotkeys only work when holding a deployable item. Anything using the numpad keys requires having numlock on

  F4 - Toggle in-game notices for the mod

  Numpad 5 - Toggle grid snapping (also forces rotation snapping to whatever the grid snapping is)

  Insert - lock (yaw) rotation to whatever it is currently

  Nudges move the held deployable hologram a tiny bit in a direction. These are relative to player facing and require grid snapping to be toggled on.

  Numpad 4 - left

  Numpad 6 - right

  Numpad 2 - away

  Numpad 8 - toward

  Numpad 1 - yaw that way

  Numpad 3 - yaw the other way

  Numpad 7 - Increase snap angle

  Numpad 9 - Decrease snap angle

  Snap angles are limited to: 90, 45, 30, 15, 5

  Delete - Reset nudge and rotation

  Numpad Plus/Minus - increase/decrease grid size

  Shift + Numpad Plus/Minus - Increase/decrease the
