</>What does Single-Colour Pickup do?
In Playrooms your hand, the upgrade that grabs nearby balls along with the one you take, and the hand vacuum take every ball in reach, whatever its colour. Single-Colour Pickup adds a colour filter to all three. Switch on Single-Colour Pickup and pick a colour in Colour: from then on you only take balls of that colour, and every other ball stays where it lies. The hand vacuum stops pulling the other colours too, so it doesn't push them around. The Colour list shows the game's own ball colours once the game is running. Its default, First colour you pick up, uses the colour of the first ball you take and lets you choose again once your hands and hand vacuum tank are empty, so you can fill one pit with red, the next with blue, without opening the launcher. Robots, ball vents and vacuum devices are not filtered and keep cleaning every colour. Switch it off and you pick up every colour again.
</>What is Single-Colour Pickup?
This mod adds a colour filter to collecting balls in Playrooms. It suits players who want a ball pit filled with one colour, or who like to clean a room one colour at a time instead of scooping up everything at once.
</>Common questions about Single-Colour Pickup
What does Single-Colour Pickup change?
It filters what you collect by colour. Only balls of the colour set in Colour get taken when you grab them, when the upgrade takes nearby balls along with the one you grab, and when you use the hand vacuum. Every other ball stays exactly where it lies, so you can keep working through a room without sorting what you carry.
How do I choose the colour?
Open the Colour list in the launcher. Once the game is running, the list fills with the game's own ball colours, named by their shade, and you can switch between them at any time. Changing the colour while you hold balls doesn't drop anything you already carry; it only changes what you take next.
How does First colour you pick up work?
It is the default choice. Whatever colour you collect first becomes the only one you take. When your hands and your hand vacuum tank are both empty again, for example after you empty them into a pit, the next ball sets a new colour, so you can fill pit after pit without touching the launcher. A typical round: switch the mod on, grab a red ball, sweep the room for red with your hand and hand vacuum, empty everything into a pit, then grab a blue ball and start the next pit. If you would rather keep one colour all day, pick that colour in the list instead.
Do robots and ball vents follow the colour?
No. Robot vacuums, ball vents and placed vacuum devices keep cleaning every colour, as they normally do. If you want a pit that holds a single colour, keep those cleaners away from it while you fill it, because the balls they bring in can be any colour.
What happens when I aim at a ball of another colour, or switch the mod off?
A ball of another colour is simply not taken: there is no pickup sound, no cooldown and nothing taken along with it. Switching the mod off brings normal pickup back straight away. The mod writes nothing to your save, so your rooms, money and upgrades are not touched.
What options does Single-Colour Pickup include?
Single-Colour Pickup
Your hand, the upgrade that grabs nearby balls along with the one you take, and the hand vacuum only take balls of the colour set below. Other balls stay where they lie. Robots, ball vents and vacuum devices clean as normal. Off by default; switching it off lets you pick up every colour again.
Colour
The ball colour you pick up. "First colour you pick up" (the default) uses the colour of the first ball you take, and lets you choose again once your hands and hand vacuum tank are empty. The game's ball colours appear in this list once the game is running.
Single-Colour Pickup is a Playrooms mod that filters ball pickup by colour: you take only the colour set in Colour, and balls of every other colour stay on the floor.

Respawn Balls
Respawn Balls puts the balls of a Playrooms room you've fully cleaned back where the game first spread them, for the room you stand in or every cleaned room at once. Upgrades, money, keys and pits stay as they are.
Speed, Jump & Unlimited Sprint
