Foundation Painter

Mod for Dyson Sphere Program that allows drawing foundations using rectangles.

See the parent README for installation instructions.

Usage

1. Start placing foundations
2. Enable drawing mode (default Ctrl+D)
3. Click to select starting corner point
4. Optionally, swap between shortest and longest path (default Ctrl+P)
5. Click to select ending corner point

Notes

• Very large selection areas are supported, but the game's code is not designed for it so expect low framerates while making the selection.
• Soil piles are calculated using the standard game logic, but the numbers may appear slightly different from the default foundation tool applied to the same area because:
  • The calculation is path dependent, so the same end result can give different numbers depending on which order the tiles are updated
  • This tool gives perfectly straight edges, while the built in tool uses a circular radius, resulting in slightly different edges
• Special logic in the default foundation tool for drawing over Dark Fog bases is not currently implemented in this tool

Planned Features

• Border drawing modes (border only, border + fill, fill only)
• Border color selection
• Border thickness
• UI buttons
• More configuration
