	~~The [[Crane]] is an item added in Eco [[Versions#0.7.5.0\|v0.7.5.0]] that allows for the quick building of floors, walls, or columns.~~
	~~It may also be used to transfer and sort large amounts of carried items between stockpiles, vehicles, and other inventories.~~

	~~It is fueled with [[Petroleum]], [[Gasoline]] or [[Biodiesel]].~~

	~~== Strategy ==~~

	~~To operate the Crane, target the upper part of the object and press {{key\|E}}. Target the lower part of the Crane will open the info panel.~~

	The Crane has what is called a grabber at the end of the cable, which is what is used to collect (or grab) items from stockpiles, vehicles, or other inventories. Radial positioning of the grabber is done by raising or lowering the boom while lowering/raising the grabber to maintain the grabber's height.

	To interact with stockpiles, vehicles, and other inventories, position the grabber to be near (usually above) them. The inventory will be highlighted green and a tooltip will be shown to indicate you are able to interact with it. You can grab blocks and carried items from the inventory with the {{key\|Left Mouse Button}}, or drop them in the inventory with the {{key\|Right Mouse Button}}. The Crane will only pick up one type of block or carried item, which means it may be used to sort blocks/items in a stock yard (which is a collection of stockpiles).

	The Crane can also place blocks in a rectangle along a horizontal or vertical axis. Left-clicking once sets the first corner of placement, and the second click determines the opposite corner, similar to clicking and dragging a selection box. The size of the wall, floor, or column that can be created is only limited by the number of blocks the crane is carrying and the range of the crane. The first corner of placement must be near another solid block, but the second corner may be up in the air provided that you have enough blocks to build up to it.

	Since the boom cannot be extended or retracted, placement of the crane is crucial. The Crane only takes up a 1x1 footprint, so it can be fit into tight spaces, despite what its model may suggest. It may be advantageous to place the Crane significantly higher above the area it will be working in, to get a better view.

	~~The Crane consumes fuel whenever someone is occupying the driver's seat, even if the boom is not being moved.~~

{{Infobox_Item|name=Crane}}
The [[Crane]] is an item added in Eco [[Versions#0.7.5.0|v0.7.5.0]] that allows for the quick building of floors, walls, or columns.
It may also be used to transfer and sort large amounts of carried items between stockpiles, vehicles, and other inventories.

It is fueled with [[Petroleum]], [[Gasoline]] or [[Biodiesel]].

== Strategy ==

To operate the Crane, target the upper part of the object and press '''E'''. Target the lower part of the Crane will open the info panel.

The Crane has what is called a grabber at the end of the cable, which is what is used to collect (or grab) items from stockpiles, vehicles, or other inventories. Radial positioning of the grabber is done by raising or lowering the boom while lowering/raising the grabber to maintain the grabber's height.

To interact with stockpiles, vehicles, and other inventories, position the grabber to be near (usually above) them. The inventory will be highlighted green and a tooltip will be shown to indicate you are able to interact with it. You can grab blocks and carried items from the inventory with the '''Left Mouse Button''', or drop them in the inventory with the '''Right Mouse Button'''. The Crane will only pick up one type of block or carried item, which means it may be used to sort blocks/items in a stock yard (which is a collection of stockpiles).

The Crane can also place blocks in a rectangle along a horizontal or vertical axis. Left-clicking once sets the first corner of placement, and the second click determines the opposite corner, similar to clicking and dragging a selection box. The size of the wall, floor, or column that can be created is only limited by the number of blocks the crane is carrying and the range of the crane. The first corner of placement must be near another solid block, but the second corner may be up in the air provided that you have enough blocks to build up to it.

Since the boom cannot be extended or retracted, placement of the crane is crucial. The Crane only takes up a 1x1 footprint, so it can be fit into tight spaces, despite what its model may suggest. It may be advantageous to place the Crane significantly higher above the area it will be working in, to get a better view.

The Crane consumes fuel whenever someone is occupying the driver's seat, even if the boom is not being moved.
