Major SNAFU Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Hi all, So I have been playing around with instabuild in debug mode but I am currently stumped by two issues: 1) When I spawn, say a coal generator, it has no coal in it and there for does not run and I cannot figure out how to get coal into it without using a duplicant. Is there another command I need to use to fuel/supply objects that have been created via instabuild so that they are fully supplied? 2) how do you toggle a switch without needing a duplicant while in debug mode? Double post - don’t know why Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/86743-a-few-questions-about-instabuild-in-debug/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I believe you can toggle switches with Ctrl f4 (instabuild). I don't think you can put coal in yourself. What I would do is paint in a ton of coal and mine it, then just leave it on the ground where the dupes can get it. Set the coal generators to be refilled at 100% and put down a couple batteries for stability. Keep in mind that if you have instabuild on, you can also instantly create things that would otherwise be queued for creation, like food from a microbe musher or cooking station.

GrindThisGame Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 As far as I know the only way to feed it coal is with a dupe.

Saturnus Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 And before anyone asks. Instabuild items are always 20C, so you cannot build ice sculptures directly in debug mode. You have to create the ice, dig it, and let the dupes build it from that.

Major SNAFU Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Thanks all. I just assumed that instabuild allowed you yo build, run and test things w/o need for dupes.

watermelen671 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 well...there's a way now. (At least in the new upgrade preview) Use the arms and place lots of coal nearby.
