Levers?
« on: March 31, 2007, 07:07:00 pm »

How can you craft levers? I'm almost to the point of pulling my hair out! In the building menu there is no hotkey assigned to it.. (or the trade depot and supports for that matter).

Thanks

You need mechanisms.

You can't use a hotkey to select it, but you can use the standard /* controls to change the page and the +- keys to select it in the list, then use Enter to choose it.

Thankfully, you can place multiple traps and levers repeatedly without having to go all the way through the build menu again, but once you hit Space to go back to normal game mode, you'll have to navigate through it in the same way.

I'd love it if there were a hotkey for levers and traps, but the problem is finding a hotkey that isn't already taken!

HAHAHAHA

I had multiple cave-ins, and the caravan came and went, and I haven't been able to farm all because i couldn't navagate to the options... I  was so bent on finding the hotkey or how to get the hotkey to show up that I never even THOUGHT to use the +/- keys.

THANKS!

easy way to get to traps/levers. B and then - - - - - (a few times). much quicker to get to by wrapping through the bottom of the list.
