Zone Planner

The Zone Planner is a machine added by BuildCraft which can be used to define complex working areas for the Robots and save them on Empty Maps.

Usage


A right-click on the Zone Planner opens the GUI which looks like Fig. 1. The upper part shows the map of the world. Black regions are not explored. On the map can be zomed with the mouse-scroll and moved with the right mouse button. With the button "FS" the player can enlarge the map to fullscreen.

With the left mouse button and the brushes in the bottom left corner the player can draw areas with different colors on the map. With the button "+" or "-" the player can change between "add new area" or "remove an area".

To name the drawing area, the player can enter a name in the black bar in the middle. Then he can put an Empty Map in the slot in the upper right corner to save the area on a map. After a few seconds a Map Location with the coordinates of the drawn area is created and can be used in the Emerald Gates to program the Robots.

To change a Map Location, the player can put the Map Location in the middle left slot and the area, which is saved on the Map Location, is displayed on the map.
