While active, use the suggested keys to switch the usual liquids parameters, and Enter
to select the target area and apply changes.
This script is a gui front-end to the liquids plugin and works similar to it,
allowing you to add or remove water & magma, and create obsidian walls & floors.
Note that there is **no undo support**, and that bugs in this plugin have been
known to create pathfinding problems and heat traps.
The ``b`` key changes how the affected area is selected. The default *Rectangle*
mode works by selecting two corners like any ordinary designation. The ``p``
key chooses between adding water, magma, obsidian walls & floors, or just
tweaking flags.
When painting liquids, it is possible to select the desired level with ``+-``,
and choose between setting it exactly, only increasing or only decreasing
with ``s``.
In addition, ``f`` allows disabling or enabling the flowing water computations
for an area, and ``r`` operates on the "permanent flow" property that makes
rivers power water wheels even when full and technically not flowing.
After setting up the desired operations using the described keys, use ``Enter`` to apply them.
