Basic information[]
The Better Home Pop-Up Toaster is a decorative item that looks like a small toaster with its long sides made of grey metal and light blue short sides. It has two slices of toast in it. It is part of the Even Better Home Bundle.
The Better Home Pop-Up Toaster can be interacted with to change the position of the toast. This can be done either directly by right-clicking on the toaster or pressing "f" while aiming at it, or by wiring an activation device such as a Switch to it. Note that despite its description, the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster cannot send signals to other objects - it is an input device like lamps.
How to obtain[]
Better Home Pop-Up Toasters can be crafted in your Crafting Menu (to be opened by pressing "q" as the default key), but only after the according crafting recipe has been unlocked by buying the Even Better Home Bundle from the Store.
Like all other placeable items, you can also obtain Better Home Pop-Up Toasters by buying a building kit for a Blueprint that contains Better Home Pop-Up Toasters.
How to unlock the crafting recipe[]
The crafting recipe for the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster can be unlocked by buying the Even Better Home Bundle from the Store. There is no other way to obtain the recipe.
How to craft[]
To craft 4 Better Home Pop-Up Toasters, you'll need:
- 1 Iron Slab made in the Processor from Iron Bar
- 1 Wheat grown from Wheat Seeds
- 1 Water found in rivers, lakes or oceans
- 1 Coal extracted from Coal Nodes with Extractors, found in Treasure Chests (except Obsidian Treasure Chest), or obtained as loot or pet harvest from Keepas
How to use[]
Better Home Pop-Up Toasters can be placed into the game world for decorative purposes by putting (a stack of) them into your quickbar, selecting the according quickslot and clicking the right mouse button while pointing at a spot in the game world with your cursor.
The Better Home Pop-Up Toaster can be activated and deactivated - this changes the position of the toast. Use your right mouse button or press "f" (as the default key) while looking at a Better Home Pop-Up Toaster that has been placed into the world to turn it activate or deactivate it. It can also be wired to activation devices to be activated/deactivated from a distance, in a sequence, for a specific length of time, etc.
Like most other placeable items, Better Home Pop-Up Toasters can be rotated into all directions by pressing and holding R and then pointing the mouse cursor at the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster and moving the mouse while holding the left mouse button.
The chosen rotation angle can be "locked" too by simply typing "r" while looking at an already rotated object or block; then all items of the same stack in the selected quickslot will automatically be facing the same direction when being placed.
Like most other placeable blocks, Better Home Pop-Up Toasters can be painted, with the primary color influencing the color of the short sides of the toaster, and the secondary color influencing the color of the toast. They can also be put into displays, where they will be shown at a reduced size.
You won't need any Power Cells (Mining Cell) to pick up Better Home Pop-Up Toasters that have been placed into the game world. Of course you won't be able to pick up such objects on game worlds, on player claims or in Adventures where your Permission rank is not sufficient (mainly when you are merely a visitor), which can only be changed by the owner of the game world, claim owner or Adventure creator.
How to wire Better Home Pop-Up Toasters[]
 |
Better Home Pop-Up Toasters can be wired to activation devices like Switches, Sensors, Number Pads or Pressure Plates etc., optionally with operating gates in between, like Number Comparison Gates, Delay Gates, Flip-Flop Gates, Inverter Gates, Logic Gates, etc. The Better Home Pop-Up Toaster can only serve as a receiver and can be switched on or off by using the activation device/s. |
To wire Better Home Pop-Up Toasters, equip an Wiring Tool and point your cursor at a Better Home Pop-Up Toaster that you have placed into the world. The "Receive" Hotspot will become visible then and you will be able to connect it to the "Send" Hotspot of activation devices and/or of operating gates.
Type "n" (as the default key) to inspect the wiring window of the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster if you wish to type a code word into the receiving array that you will then also use in the sending array of the activation device/s and/or operating gate/s.
How to change the settings of Better Home Pop-Up Toasters[]
The interactivity of Better Home Pop-Up Toasters can be toggled as well. Wireable objects like Better Home Pop-Up Toasters can be activated/deactivated by players of all permission ranks, even by visitors, unless their interactivity is disabled (locked) for all players (even owners) with a Wiring Tool.
For this purpose you can lock your Better Home Pop-Up Toasters by disabling the option "can interact". You can access this option when looking at the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster and typing "n" (as the default key) with an Wiring Tool equipped.
Now other players cannot switch on or off your Better Home Pop-Up Toaster, but only if their permission rank is lower than the minimum permission level of the according Better Home Pop-Up Toaster. If players are either builders or even admins on your player claim or on the game world (if the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster is not placed on any claimed land), then these players might not only activate/deactivate the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster, but even pick them up and take them away.
The padlock symbol lets you define the minimum permission rank for your Better Home Pop-Up Toaster that players will need to match or outrank in order to be able to see and change the settings of the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster with their own Wiring Tool. For this, use your Wiring Tool and "n" to open the wiring window of the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster and look for the padlock symbol in the top right corner of the settings window.
Click on it to check the permission setting that is currently selected. The permission level of these toasters will be set to "world builders" by default when placing the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster, and on player claims it will automatically be set to "claim builders" when being placed.
When raising the permission level of a Better Home Pop-Up Toaster with the padlock symbol, only its owner and players with a matching or even higher permission rank than the permission level of the toaster can then use their Wiring Tools to change the settings (including "can interact") of the toaster, so that they can switch the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster on/off directly, or even pick it up and take it away.
Renaming a Better Home Pop-Up Toaster[]
Using this same settings window by typing "n" (as the default key) with an Wiring Tool equipped while looking at the Better Home Pop-Up Toaster, you can also rename your Better Home Pop-Up Toaster by typing another description into the labelling array (up to 30 characters).
