Matter Manipulator Plus

• Matter Manipulator Plus 1. 3

• --------------------------

Provides a full set of upgradable Mass Manipulators, in parallel to the normal pickaxes. Instead of using primitive tools, you can now keep using your Matter Manipulator forever! Please be aware that the Stone Manipulator recipe does not consume your MM, just incase something goes wrong. It provides 6 new Matter Manipulators, starting with Stone and going through Copper to Diamond. The recipe progression is identical to the base game and the mining speeds are roughly the same as their pickaxe counterparts. It also increases the size of your mining cursor to 3 x 3.

Simply extract this zip archive into your /Starbounds/mods folder and you are ready to go. The modding scene and functionality is constantly shifting and is definitely unfinished, so installing multiple mods with changes to the player.config is going to be difficult for me to support.

- Tabula Rasa -

A solution which i have chosen to support, is a pretty handy new crafting table called the Tabula Rasa. It allows you to cook a torch in a campfire to make a new crafting table. This table does not require you to know any blueprints so all of the items i have added will show up for you. The legacy crafting options are still in place, so once you pick up the items from the Tabula Rasa, you will learn the blueprints.

If Tabula Rasa is not up to date yet, you can add a .modinfo file for it and put it into the mods folder with absolutely no problems. There's details on the forums if you need them.

- IMPORTANT -

The player.config file is optional, and i highly recommend you to use the Tabula Rasa. However, if you need to install multiple mods manually, you can add the following line to your /Starbound/assets/player.config inside your tier1 defaultBlueprints list.

{ "item" : "stonebeamaxe" },

If you are using the Tabula Rasa, feel free to delete the player.config i have provided.

• Troubleshooting
• --------------------------

Make sure you properly uninstall any files added by older installations of this mod. Due to the new modding structure, we can all put our files in one unified directory. If you try to launch the game with duplicate items of the same name, the loading screen will crash and will never stop loading. Be sure to check your starbound.log to debug any problems you encounter.
