TOOL only works in live mode by itself, but if you also install Better BuildBuy you can use TOOL in build mode for a much more convenient experience. You can get as complex as you want with it, some players build entire vehicles and buildings from tons of smaller objects cleverly altered with TOOL. Ever seen a build that had leaning picture frames? Throw pillows on the couch?
