Change node grabber's max force?

    By scrolling the mouse wheel it is possible to change the node grabber "spring", which essencially is a measure of how soft or hard it pulls. There is also a value in kg, which I assume is the max force being applied. My question is, can I change this max force, in order to pull heavier things, etc?

    Picture for reference: The max force is the red thing, and the spring value is the blue thing.

    Next update makes nodegrabbing usage easier to understand, however in current version you should already be able to tweak the grabbing force by using your mouse wheel.

    Edit: to make things more clear: the spring implicitely changes the force you apply on the object. The problem is there's a too low safety cap on the force, that you are hitting with the truck. Next update solves that too :)

    i think you guys just wanted to limit the force so people didnt go around breaking physics every 3 seconds and blaming it on the game eh?

    How would I manually change the force/spring setting?
