Ariskelis submitted a new mod: One Handed Matter Manipulator - Makes the MM one-handed. Read more about this mod...
Great mod xD you don't need to start a new character and works great in stable build. I'm hoping you can fix the background mine soon on the next update
I'm not sure you can, since the opposite hand is reserved for using whatever tool is in it. To make it dig both foreground and background blocks but only remain in one hand would take away the ability to use anything in the other hand. Also, thanks! It feels good to have positive feedback on something I did. xD
Thought of a great idea , if you can make the manipulator into a independent item and something that doesnt stay on you "r" key, that would be great
Back in Angry Koala a few people including myself were playing with this code, its relatively simple and I can also confirm that Ariskelis is accurate in just switching hands allows you to mine the opposite layer. Glad to see someone bring it back ^^
It sort of works still. There's only the first two manipulators now: "beamaxe.beamaxe" and "beamaxe1.beamaxe". The game upgrades the second manipulator internally for each of the additional upgrades. An update would just be deleting the patches that are no longer needed. Still works though. I deleted the obsolete patches from my own copy and added some patches for the other two handed tools. My character is strong.
