📋 About This Mod
This mod has been made with my work and is not an AI dump. Out of respect for those who truly dedicate themselves to this in a much more professional manner, it should be said that there has been specific assistance from AI in its implementation.
Thanks for understanding.
"Because, as the song goes, “I like to move it, move it !” — now your lockers do too (underwater edition)"
NOW YOU CAN MOVE OBJECTS BETWEEN FLOORS!!! BE LADDER MY FRIEND!
...follow the ladder, ladder, ladder, FOLLOW THE LADDER! Sígame!
This mod lets you pick up and re-place lockers and buildables from three categories (Interior Modules, Exterior Modules, Miscellaneous) instantly, preserving the original storage instance so containers keep their inventory and behavior after moving.
-
[]Unified movement engine for all movable buildables (single backend across categories).[/]
[]ALT-based move interaction with a consistent custom reticle for every supported object.[/]
[]Safe relocation flow with commit/cancel handling to avoid ghost leftovers and placement desyncs.[/]
[]Per-category toggles so you can enable/disable movement by build group.[/]
[]Optional safety toggles for non-empty storage and Alien Containment moves.[/]
[]Moving objects between floors now is allowed. Use the ladder![/]
Special-item handling (custom logic):
[]Lockers (Small Locker / Locker): can be relocated with contents preserved, with optional blocking for non-empty lockers.[/]
[]Alien Containment: including flora/fauna transfer and content restoration, with optional blocking for non-empty Containment.
Stacked and offset allow both removal and addition. Flora is moved, fauna normally remains in the other Containment.[/]
[]Bioreactor / Nuclear Reactor: relocation preserves inserted fuel items and runtime state (power/consumption continuity).[/]
[]Water Filtration Machine: relocation preserves stored outputs (water/salt) and restores machine container state correctly.[/]
[]Battery Charger / Power Cell Charger: relocation preserves inserted cells and refreshes visual open/closed state correctly after placement.[/]
[*]Face-based interior pieces (e.g., hatch/window/reinforcement/reactors/filtration/containment): handled with dedicated face-piece placement/build finalization
