This is a short tutorial that shows how to create a simple mod by using the API tools released in the last update 01.048. With the API tools, players can bring function to their creations and share the mods with others through Steam Workshop. The mod that is programmed in this tutorial can be found at http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=315572550 .
We hope this tutorial will help you learn and understand the possibilities of API features.

Details about a code:
IMySensorBlock.StateChange
- event which is raised when first entity enters the sensor or last on leaves it
- 'bool' argument is true when first entity entered, false when last entity left

Object builders are data definitions, it's 1:1 to XML files (both definitions and saves)
Most entities are created from object builders

Sensor.Position (X,Y,Z)
- position of cube in grid (ship or station)
- relative to grid
- integer coordinates

Sensor.WorldMatrix.Translation (X,Y,Z)
- absolute position of object in world
