Description
Builder Tools is a port of the utilities of the unofficial mod AdvancedBuilding


Features
Block Lines (NEW)
Ever wanted to quickly place a line of blocks between 2 points? Tired of having to do your C&S wiring by hand?
Block Lines are what you need! There is now a new button on the right of the inventory to toggle Line Mode. When active there is a small arrow next to the button that lets you configure how the block line will behave:
- Max Axis: Trace a line between the start and finish along the longest axis
- Lines3D: Traces multiple lines between the start and finish by going in the order of the axes your specify

Small warning: Block Lines are currently only compatible with 1x1x1 blocks with APs on every side (for example: a GSO block or the RR Wires). This will eventually get expanded to support blocks with APs on opposite sides and perhaps bigger blocks.

Text search
Tired of searching for blocks in the inventory? Having to swift through hundreds of blocks? Not remembering in which category is the GSO Rotating Anchor?
Then the text search is what you need: a simple text input is added on top of the inventory and will only show the blocks that contain the specified text in their name.

Pipette
Similar to the text search as a time saver: you can now hold down a key (left shift by default) and click any block in the world and it will select it in the inventory for you!

Keybord categories
By pressing the keys on your numbers row you'll be able to quickly switch your selected block category.

Physics center
Does your plane always seem to pitch up when flying? Having troubles balancing your hovercraft?
Then you can use the physics centers display. Press left ctrl+m (customizable) and you'll be able to display your tech COM (center of mass), COL (center of lift) and COT (center of thrust).
Small warning: The COL and COT are only available if your tech has wings and propellers/thrusters respectively.

This mod relies on 0ModManager as it has other code dependencies. Usage of TTSMM is strongly recommended

It says there is a "InitError: Main"

This no longer works for whatever reason. Will we see a update to fix the problem?

This is nearly perfect, best tool mod to have. If you can add back the old feature; "Buy Tech", the one that allows you to buy tech while using your currency to buy the missing block that the tech need. Of course it still need the missing block to "researched" first thru the fabricators.

FYI: you may want to remove the Physics center and Pipette from the mod, as they've been implemented into the base game.

The block lines are current disabled in non-creative modes as I need to figure out how to make them take block from the inventory. The crash when starting a campaign has been fixed

This mod is breaking the menu preview battles as well as the tutorial trader mission and potentially other missions as well for some reason, no other mod is causing this problem... crash log will probably require a second comment if it's needed...

can you not middle click on blocks to select them in the inventory in vanilla?

I updated the mod yesterday so it's compatible with the latest stable. If you're still on a version under 1.4.22 the mod won't work. Else just unsub and resub to force update the mod.

Unfortunately, it appears that this mod is causing the game to crash so hard upon reaching the title screen, that the vanilla game's crash reporter beats the crash reporter provide by the Random Additions mod to catching the error!!
