Creating States

States is a feature which allows hosts and promoted players to take multiple Objects and merge them into one. Once merged, any player can select which Object is displayed, switching between them freely.

This is ideal for creating books, scrolls, creature evolutions and much more.

Creating a Stated Object

Line Up Objects

Line up the desired Objects into a row.

Rulebook Example

The rulebook used in our Scythe DLC starts off closed. When you hover over it, you can see it has the States symbol and how many “states” are included. In this case, there are 16 states.

Rulebook Example, Closed

After pressing one of the number keys, in this case the 2 key, the book “opens” up into pages 2-3 of the rulebook. Using States is a fantastic way to really theme up your mods and let your creative juices flow!
