Anchor

A Shaman uses anchors to build a bridge over the gap.

Anchors, sometimes known as bonds, nails or hinges, link physical items to the stage and to other items. Anchor linked items spawn with the map, or can be attached to items by the shaman to assist in building.

There are five different types of anchors available for use. Newer shamans usually have a tough time with anchors. The only way to create anchors is through the C, V, B, J or N keys. Pressing a key multiple times will move the anchor from the center to either side of the object, except in the case of the red anchor, which may only be attached by the middle. In the case of balloons, pressing any anchor hotkey will allow the shaman to connect the balloon to another object with a string.

Anchors

Anchor type	Hotkey	Use
Solid Anchor	C	Must be attached to another item. Does not move. Used for making bridges and ramps. Can also be used for making air ships, bomb shields, etc.
Free Anchor	V	Must be attached to another item. A free anchor that rotates along the hinge Moves with the item it's attached to.
World Anchor	B	Can be attached directly to the stage or to another item. Can only be used with planks. Useful for providing a base for other attachments. Can be attached to the air "through" another item, allowing it to turn in the air, or locking it there if it cannot turn (anchored, or touches the ground etc.)
Motorized Anchor (Counter-clockwise)	J	Must be attached to another item. Motorized hinge that rotates to the left. Can be used for creating elevators. Also used for creating Anvil God
Motorized Anchor (Clockwise)	N	Must be attached to another item. Motorized hinge that rotates to the right. Can be used for creating elevators. Also used for creating Anvil God
Balloon Anchor	C, V, B, J or N	Can only be used with Balloons. Must be attached to another item. Automatically creates a string between a balloon making the balloon lift the item. Used for making airships or stabilizing and elevating bridges. The key used makes no difference. To connect a balloon to a mouse, the circle that is the nail must be at the neck of the mouse for it to work.

Anchor over anchor

To add a anchor onto overlapping things, like the ends of anvils, select the arrow shaman item and the anchor of your choosing. Once you place the arrow where you would like the anchor, the arrow will disappear and leave the anchor behind.

Note: This doesn't work with a red anchor.

If you add a item to another item with a blue anchor, for example a long board nailed to a short board thats held in place by a red anchor, you can do an arrow anchor with a rotating anchor or a yellow anchor to make it move or stop moving.

Note: You can do this as many times as you want.
