"/mz Mods" for commands

Improvised Experimentation

You can grab all Grids that are below 20x20x20m in dimensions but you might not be able to lift them in gravity!

You can only grab and hold grids if you have nothing equipped!

A colored line will indicate where you hold the grid, where you want to move it to, and how well your plan works.
Green line means you are not to far away from the grid and are strong enough.
Red line means you are almost to far away and might not be strong enough to move the grid.
After 8m you will lose grip and the grid will be released

It is based on the GridPickupMod by Math0424 with hopefully a few improvements.
Do not add both mods to your world



When the player is
- floating
- is in space (p-gravity = 0)
- flying with his jetpack
the maximum force is 1100N ~ 100kg lifting

When the player is
- standing on a planet
- standing on a grid (station or ship) in gravity (p-gravity != 0)
the maximum force is
- 11000N ~ 1000kg lifting for 1g or above and
- 1100N + 9900N * p-gravity for 0g-1g

Actio est Reactio

If the player is lifting a 200kg Block on Earth (~1962N) and standing on a dynamic grid then an equal opposite force will be applied to the grid where he is standing

• Advanced Welding - detaching and reattaching blocks!
  
• Hook Solid

• Block Rotation is not the same as Block Placement Rotation
  => end/insert/... does not always rotate around the same axis
  
• Line will not be totally red if you are at maximum distance but are not applying maximum force
  => applied force is realtive to grid mass to prevent ridiculous acceleration on light grids. (fixed in experimental)
  
• Only the host can move grids in multiplayer. => Clients side thinks all grids have 0 mass and add no force because of that. (fixed in experimental)

If you encounter a bug with this mod, please post a new discussion topic.
Any reports posted in the regular comments will be deleted (and moved into a dicussion if I have the motivation). If the bug resulted in crashing your game, please put the game's log on Pastebin and give me the link.
You can find the game's log in %AppData%\SpaceEngineers\SpaceEngineers.log
or with the blue "log" text in the crash message after the crash. Any details of how to reproduce the issue are greatly appreciated.

standard first aid list (file paths may vary for servers or non windows users or servers) (s for needs to be done on server/host and client side):

• make a testworld just with the affected mod and one of the other mods as a mod conflict test, don't forget the mod requirements.
  
• (s) make a file integrety check for space engineers itself.
  
• (s) delete all modrelated data of the affected mods in the main and world specific storage folder and let it regenerate in case this got corruptet (findable under %appdata%\spaceengineers and %appdata%\spaceengineers\saves\yoursteamid64\yourworldname).
  
• (s) delete all modrelated data of the affected mods in the workshop folder and redownload it to neutralize eventually data corruption by modupdate (files are findable inside the workshop folder of the steam library folder in which you have installed space engineers).
  On my Machine: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\2890866161

  => 2890866161 is the SteamId for this Mod (same id as the link in the top left)
