Ruler measurements in 1.3.0.1

The Ruler is an accessory purchased from the Goblin Tinkerer for 1.

On the PC version, it creates a measurement overlay that displays grid lines in the x and y axis from the player to the mouse, as well as the length of the lines. This aides intricate construction, as less trial and error is involved in judging distances, symmetry, and achieving a desired block layout. This accessory can be equipped at the same time as the Mechanical Ruler accessory for an even more complete block distance measuring overlay.

On the console version, it creates a grid over the screen, aiding in block placement, while in the mobile version, it is unobtainable.

The Ruler's effect is purely visual and only affects the player who has it equipped.

Notes

  • Although the Ruler primarily has no functional effect on the game, it can have any of the usual accessory Modifiers, and so provide added defense or more maximum Mana, for example. It can be Reforged.
  • Marking the ruler as hidden will disable the ruler effect.

History

  • 1.3.0.1: New Function, now creates measuring lines instead of displaying a grid. For the previous functionality, see Mechanical Ruler.
  • 1.1: Introduced.
