Engineer's Toolbox

(Previously Vehicle Indicators) Adds various blocks that allow making vehicles with precise weight distributions or allow to "change the physics" of drag.

Creation Center of Mass Finder

• creates particles to display the local axis of the indicator around the CoM of the entire creation
• shows the center of mass with a particle

Body Center of Mass Finder

• creates particles to display the local axis of the indicator around the CoM of the body the indicator is on
• shows the center of mass with a particle

Center of Thrust Finder

• shows the thrust vector of all vanilla thrusters on the creation at the center of thrust

Modes The indicators can be switched through modes using the [Use] button. There are 4 Modes, which change the size of the displayed axis.

Drag Reducer

• lowers the inherent drag of the game from 2.5% speed per frame to 0.5%
• makes gliding planes and driving cars fast easier
• may be unbalanced, because creations now don't magically come to a stop as fast
• may be placed multiple times on a creation, it doesnt matter

Scale

• logs the mass and weight of the whole creation in the console when used
• rounded to 3 decimal places

Thrust Scale

• logs the length of the vector sum of all thrusts of all thrusters on a creation when turned on in newtons when used
• rounded to 3 decimal places

Note On very large creations (5k+ blocks, intricate shapes) following blocks may cause a drop in framerate: CoM finder, BCoM finder, Drag Reducer
