Create Aeronautics: Throwable Rope Connector

Create Aeronautics: Throwable Rope Connector is a lightweight addon for Create Aeronautics / Create Simulated that lets you place rope connectors from a distance.

Ever find your ship not quite close enough to your target, or landing area? This mod lets you throw/shoot simulated connectors then attach the rope to simulated rope winch. There are three ways to place rope connections:

• throw a connector by hand
• fire one from the Rope Connector Launcher
• use the Mounted Rope Launcher for ship-mounted anchoring

Successful throws and shots place a normal Create Simulated Rope Connector and give you a normal Rope Coupling that is already linked to it, ready to attach to a Rope Winch.

Features

• Adds a Throwable Rope Connector item
• Adds the Rope Connector Launcher for longer-range connector placement
• Adds the Mounted Rope Launcher for ship-mounted anchoring
• Places a normal Create Simulated Rope Connector on valid block faces
• Returns a normal Create Simulated Rope Coupling that is already linked
• Failed shots do not consume ammo by default
• Configurable throw, launcher, mounted, general, and visual settings
• Optional redstone automation for the Mounted Rope Launcher

How To Use

1. Craft a Throwable Rope Connector
2. Aim at a valid block face
3. Throw the connector by hand, fire it from the launcher, or use the mounted launcher
4. On success, a Rope Connector is placed and the used connector becomes a linked Rope Coupling
5. Right-click a Rope Winch with the Rope Coupling to complete the connection

Config

Throwing, launcher, mounted, general, and visual settings are configurable in the generated config file.

Range values cannot exceed Create Simulated's max_rope_range.
