Mostly only lava boots. Sometimes also a lava shield but not so much since beacons got healing effect.
 +
When AFK in mines, when too lazy to use multi-tool for defence or when working around chernobilyte: Lava boots, diamond leggings and shirt, hazmat and lava shield.
 +
SwissalpS does not like diamond helmet, the sound it makes on damage is irritating.

 +
= Client Side Mods =
 +
* VelocityHUD https://github.com/SwissalpS/CSMvelocityHUD Shows your speed when not attached to a digtron or similar.
 +
* silenceBeacon https://github.com/SwissalpS/CSMsilenceBeacon Supresses the beacon messages when they are placed in a tight spot.
 +
* Too Much Information (TMI) https://github.com/SwissalpS/CSMtooMuchInformationHUD Choose which info you want to have shown. Most useful: wielded item. Open formspec with .tmi command.
 +
* Breadcrumbs https://github.com/SwissalpS/CSMbreadcrumbs Adds a trail of HUD markers so you can see where you came from. Open config with .bread command.
 +
 
 +
= Server Side Mods =
 +
* postool https://github.com/SwissalpS/postool Shows HUD with positional data and provides a tool to show map-block border. Replaced the old poshud mod.
 +
* replacer https://github.com/SwissalpS/replacer Cool creative tool originally by Sokomine. SwissalpS merged features from HybridDog and Coil0 and has maintained the version used on Pandorabox.io since.

Latest revision as of 16:19, 3 May 2026

SwissalpS started as SwissaplS. It was a typo when initially just checking out Pandorabox. The test went much longer than expected.
SwissalpS occasionally logs on as SwissaplS for tests and to appreciate more how far he has come.
When SwissalpS is logged in as SwissaplS he might be AFK or not reading the in-game chat, so best use /mail if it is something 'important'.

Inventory Contents

  • Slot 1: Glider
  • Slot 2: Multitool
  • Slot 3: Replacer
  • Slot 8: Food (canned, marinated or pickled)
  • Slot 32: Empty Glass Bottles

Armour Inventory

Mostly only lava boots. Sometimes also a lava shield but not so much since beacons got healing effect. When AFK in mines, when too lazy to use multi-tool for defence or when working around chernobilyte: Lava boots, diamond leggings and shirt, hazmat and lava shield. SwissalpS does not like diamond helmet, the sound it makes on damage is irritating.

Client Side Mods

Server Side Mods

  • postool https://github.com/SwissalpS/postool Shows HUD with positional data and provides a tool to show map-block border. Replaced the old poshud mod.
  • replacer https://github.com/SwissalpS/replacer Cool creative tool originally by Sokomine. SwissalpS merged features from HybridDog and Coil0 and has maintained the version used on Pandorabox.io since.
  • SwissalpS has contributed to various other mods used on Pandorabox.io

In-Game Code

Self Updating Telemosaic

Requires mooncontroller. Solution to update telemosaics on a ship where each telemosaic targets another one and none is targeted by multiple others (making it impossible for [jumpdrive] to update them. 

-- Title: Telemosaic updater

-- Version: 20260424_2332
-- Description: For use in a mooncontroller using
--        its pos global to detect when the telemosaic has moved and
--        update target of telemosaic.
--        This allows using non-bidirectional telemosaics in jd-fleets.
