view of the spherical gravity generator

Function

Operating the same way as a Gravity Generator in which it pushes/pulls small objects, and players towards a specific direction. However, the spherical gravity generator differs in that it pulls or pushes objects in a sphere-like radius around itself.

Placement

Large Ship / Station
Outline Comments
Block Size: 1
Orientation affects function? No You may place it on the floor, walls, or ceiling, it will still have the same effect.
Can be placed on all sides? No The bottom of the generator is the only area that can "attach" to other blocks
Has large conveyor port? No
Has small conveyor port? No

Usage

It's very simple to use, and understand. An example of its use have been provided below:

Example Tutorial
  1. In this example here, there are objects all over the floor in a mess in every direction.
    SphericalGravityGenerator02.jpg
  2. Instead of placing several regular gravity generators, we're gonna place a spherical generator instead in the center.
    SphericalGravityGenerator03.jpg
  3. Reversing its acceleration to negative (so that it may pull instead of push away)
    SphericalGravityGenerator04.jpg
  4. Once activated, the generator will now start to pull the items towards the collectors

Examples

In this image, it shows a space engineer standing on an angle on-top of a spherical generator
Placed in the center of this massive asteroid is a spherical gravity generator. This allows engineers, as well as ground vehicles with Artificial Mass to travel along its surface.
