When i modify one of the mechanical attributes, i generally try to end on a 0 or 5. When i want multiple parts have the same rate of speed or tension, it's a bit tedious having to adjust the slider for all of them as the increments are of 0.01. I feel that small of an increment is a bit much. I would suggest changing the minimum increment to .10, or at the very least 0.05. Better yet, if you can allow a text box to enter the number manually instead of playing with the slider.

I run into this issue occasionally as well, my short-term solution involves jumping into the Windows control panel and momentarily checking "enhance pointer precision" in the mouse settings menu.
Manual input via text box and maybe even a copy/paste function for the parameter tool would certainly be a welcome addition in my opinion...!

I like the idea of being able to type in values.

I found it pretty tedious to have to drag for the exact increment that I needed. I think being able to type in values for my machines would be a great improvement. Edit: Regarding the idea of having .05 or .10 increment changes, it would be cool to see a setting under the options menu for this. |

well sometimes you have to be more accurate than just .1 and .05, so i agree with typing the values
also, making the sliders more accurate than they are now, as i may have two parts set on 1.50 speed but they actually are 1.53 and 1.58 or so

Yes, typing, please. Who thought sliders were a good idea in the first place? I mean, come on.

Yeah, I agree, being able to type in values would be helpful.

I believe both options should coexist, a slider is fast when you want to max out or are not trying to be really specific (or just testing mass, for instance)
But when you want to have two pieces or more with the same exact value, it can get annoying
