📋 About This Mod
You can switch between objects types while grav trap in your inventory with the mouse wheel (default is scrolling, it can be changed to wheel clicking in config.json). Also, you can assign keys for that in config.json.
There are four types by default - "All"/"Creatures"/"Resources"/"Eggs".
You can customize which objects are attracted by grav trap by editing types_config.json in the mod folder. You can edit default lists or add new lists of tech types. By default, all lists are also added to "All" list, you can override that by adding your list name to the "noJoin" list.
types_config.json reloads on the fly after being changed, you don't need to restart the game to apply the changes.
You can also change type lists with console commands (see below).
Also, grav trap has an upgraded model Grav Trap MK2 (ItemID: "GravTrapMK2"). It's more durable and more resistant to hazardous environment. It has increased range and force, and can hold more objects simultaneously (and because it's more powerful it can prevent attracted gaspods from exploding). Also, it has active stabilization and will stay in place while trapping bigger creatures. All MK2 parameters can be adjusted in config.json.
To unlock the blueprint for this model you'll need to scan more grav trap fragments (4 by default) after you unlock vanilla grav trap. You can change necessary fragment count in config.json (set it to zero in order to unlock MK2 model along with vanilla trap).
Console commands:
In all commands (except gti_addlist) parameter <listName> is a partial case-insensitive name for the list (e.g., you can use "res" or "sour" for "Resources" list).
-
[]gti_addlist <listName>
Adds new tech types list. You can use spaces in <listName>, but it's not recommended (you can't use spaces in <listName> in other commands).
