Im looking though this folder and just the assets folder in general for a file that has the matter manipulator. \Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\assets\items\tools The best clue i could find was "gravgunlarge.png" I was hoping to duplicate it and create Copper/Iron etc versions in parallel to the Metal versions. Does anyone know where to access this item file?
I've managed to create my own tool without any issue. Now i have to figure out how to increase mining strength and create one for each metal. Just gonna take a bit of time.
I give up, there's nothing in these files that lets me change the range of a pickaxe or the speed of the manipulator. The best i could do is increase the size of the MM to 3 x 3 so until more options are available in the jSON config files, this cannot be done.
Wow, is that really it? The number didn't change on the pickaxes so i assumed it was something to do with the animation (like the rest of it). I'll give it a go.
Awesome. Thanks for your help guys, ive published my work on nexusmods and ill be making a fresh topic for it in a moment. http://www.nexusmods.com/starbound/mods/8/? http://community.playstarbound.com/...new-manipulators-for-each-pickaxe-tier.39764/
