Range Review

Range Review

Simple range planning guides for Dinkum

What It Does

Range Review helps you see the working area of range-based items before and after you place them.

When you hold a supported item, Range Review shows the clean vanilla-style moving guide on the tile you are aiming at. This is useful for walking around and checking exactly where the range will land before placing the item.

When you use the Tape Measure on a placed range item, Range Review pins a colored guide to the ground. You can click more range items to add more guide layers for planning a farm, machine area, sprinkler layout, windmill setup, or scarecrow coverage.

How Layers Work

Each Tape Measure click adds or removes that item's range guide.

If guides overlap, the newest guide is shown clearly, and older guides keep their outside edge visible so the screen does not become a messy pile of colors. This makes it easier to compare ranges while still seeing the full outside border of larger layouts.

Large Range Items

Some Dinkum items cover more than the vanilla Tape Measure's normal 30x30 display limit, especially larger multi-tile objects like windmills and water tanks.

Range Review keeps the vanilla-style guide while holding and moving around, but it will still say 30x30 for those larger objects instead of as is the vanilla limit. Pinned guides also use the full calculated range.

    Autom8er Compatibility

    Range Review is designed to work alongside Autom8er. Autom8er has a built in smaller vanilla style range guide that only affects the Auto Farmer crate block, and when adding Range Review the Tape Measure pinned-guide system takes over when both mods are installed.
