| The Debug Menu after being activated and opened |
The Debug Menu is an optional Singleplayer tool that allows players to instantly build blocks, change the time of day, spawn Bricktrons, and more.
Contents
Accessing the Debug Menu
Activating the Debug Menu will disable achievements for that save. Using the Debug Menu can cause unexpected issues in performance and possibly crash your game. You use the Debug Menu at your own risk.
The Debug Menu is activated by clicking the "Settings" icon in the top-right of the screen while you are in a non-multiplayer game.
After clicking the icon, a new menu will expand out and you can select the "Debug Menu" icon from the list.
This will activate the Debug Menu, allowing you to select it from the right sidebar under the Help Menu.
Using the Debug Menu
The Debug Menu can be used to preform a number of tasks outlined below.
Instant Build Mode
The "Instant Build Mode" button will toggle the message "Debug Mode" message at the top of the screen to be visible. This message is a reminder that you have Instant Build Mode turned on, as any block you place in a Construction Task will become real instantly, even if the placement is invalid. Instant Build Mode can be turned off by pressing the "Instant Build Mode" button a second time and making sure the "Debug Mode" message is not visible.
While Instant Build Mode is activated, you can open a Construction Task and place any of the Blocks or Structures and they will be created instantly without any resource cost. If you try to place blocks that are not supported, they will still be created, but fall due to physics. Loose physics objects such as fallen Blocks, Logs from trees, and loose Stone, Iron Ore, or Brimstone, can be deleted by pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.
NOTE: Pressing the Delete key will delete ALL loose physics objects on the entire map.
Time x2
The "Time x2" button will toggle speeding up the game to be twice as fast when processing frames. This setting is very prone to causing performance issues or breaking your game as every calculation needs to be made twice as often. This setting is useful while you are waiting for your Bricktrons to build your Construction Task.
Time of Day
Pause Daytime
The "Pause Daytime" checkbox will cause the current time to be frozen. This will make sure that the sun does not move, allowing you to make it always daytime, or always nighttime.
Current Time
The value next to "Current Time" is the current time in-game using a 24-hour clock standard. Just below this is a slider allowing you to freely change the current time.
Spawn Bricktrons
Clicking any of the Bricktron kit icons will spawn a Bricktron of that type at your Cursor's location. If your cursor is above ground, the Bricktron will fall, and if the Cursor is below ground, it is possible for the Bricktron to be stuck underground.
Spawned Bricktrons count towards your total number of units, and will raise the amount of Wisps you need in order to spawn a new Bricktron. There is currently no way to despawn these units.
Spawn Corruptrons
Clicking any of the Corruptron icons will spawn a Corruptron of that type at your Cursor's location. If your cursor is above ground, the Corruptron will fall, and if the Cursor is below ground, it is possible for the Corruptron to be stuck underground.
Corruptrons will be stationary after spawning unless they see a target in range such as a Bricktron or Structure to attack. There is currently no way to despawn these units.
