ZenConstruction

Configurable enhancements to the construction system.

Containers

• Craft directly from opened chests.
• Build directly from attached carts.
• Crafting stations automatically open the closest chest.
• Auto-open attached containers such as carts or ships when you are the captain.

Structure Rules

• Do not allow building on trees and steep rock walls
• Remove structure support from selected pieces
• prevent building near boss alters, etc.
• Extend the range of the station extensions so that you can spread them out a bit more.

Rotations

Change the number of segments in the piece rotation for smoother curves.

• Equip Hammer
• Keyboard: Hold Left Shift + Tap Right Direction Arrow
• Gamepad: Hold Alternative-Function + Tap DPadRight

Hammer UI

• Dedicated Hammer Button: Quickly toggle equip of the Hammer without having it in a 1-8 hot bar slot. Keep it anywhere in your inventory and free up space on your hot bar. Works with gamepad too.
• Quick Select Repair: Press and hold the Hammer button to quickly switch to the repair tool.
• Equip the Hammer and the Torch at the same time so that it's easier to work in the dark. (configurable)
• Show the piece health bar as a color gradient when hovering over a piece with the repair tool.

Station Containers

Automatically open the closest container within a short range while interacting with crafting stations. This allows for placing a chest next to a crafting station and having it be accessible while using the station. Directly craft from containers.
