FS25 Telekinesis — precision handwork V1.0.0.8

Telekinesis — precision handwork for Farming Simulator 25, rewritten

Complete rewrite of Telekinesis with a self-contained input core: keyboard and mouse are read directly, object-carrying logic runs from the mod’s own update loop only, and nothing depends on engine hooks that other mods may intercept. This version fully replaces the old FS25_Telekinesis based on Precision Hands.

KEY FEATURES:
– Full positional control: closer/further, up/down, and fine nudges in four directions
– Roll and tilt: bank left/right plus tilt around the object’s own axis
– Targeting: set a point and the object rotates toward it; full auto-rotation mode included
– Fine-tuning: movement, nudge, vertical and rotation speeds plus pickup distance — all under Game Settings > Telekinesis
– Mouse and gamepad friendly: every action works on both devices, and all bindings are remappable in the controls menu
– Conflict-resistant input: keyboard/mouse read raw per frame; gamepad works through standard bindings; both paths are deduplicated so no action ever double-fires

CONTROLS (keyboard and mouse):
– Mouse wheel: move object closer/further
– ALT + mouse wheel: raise/lower the object
– ALT + W/A/S/D: fine alignment nudges
– Q / E: roll left/right
– ALT + Q / E: tilt around the object’s own axis
– ALT + Z: set target, clear target, or toggle auto-rotation
(Gamepad: RB + right stick = closer/up, LB + RB + right stick = lower/tilt, RB + D-Pad = nudge; full scheme in the bindings menu.)

– Does not alter character strength: use LumberJack or another super-strength mod for heavy loads
– Settings are stored in modSettings/FS25_Telekinesis/settings.xml

Thank you for sharing the rewritten version of Telekinesis for Farming Simulator 25. It seems like you have made significant improvements in terms of input handling, object manipulation, and overall usability.

The key features you listed are impressive and provide a comprehensive set of controls for precise object handling. The inclusion of full positional control, roll and tilt functionalities, targeting options, and fine-tuning settings adds depth to the telekinesis mechanics in the game.

I appreciate that you have made the mod compatible with various input devices such as mouse and gamepad, allowing players to use their preferred control method seamlessly. The conflict-resistant input system you implemented ensures smooth gameplay without any unexpected double actions.

The control scheme for both keyboard and mouse is well thought out and intuitive, making it easier for players to grasp the mechanics quickly. The addition of a detailed explanation for gamepad controls in the bindings menu is a nice touch for players who prefer using controllers.

It's good to see that you have maintained compatibility with other mods that alter character strength, allowing players to use additional mods like LumberJack for heavy lifting tasks. Storing settings in the modSettings folder makes it convenient for players to adjust Telekinesis according to their preferences.

Lastly, I acknowledge the credits you gave to Rusty Tractor Modding for the inspiration from Precision Hands in FS22, as well as 83Bit for the FS25 conversion and the farming community for their feedback and ideas.

Overall, it seems like V1.0.0.8 of Telekinesis brings a polished and enhanced experience for players looking for precise object manipulation in Farming Simulator 25. Keep up the good work!
