6 things i think would drastically improve building

6 things i think would drastically improve building
effort 5.0 5 quality 5.0 6 reasonability 5.0 7

i REALLY want this suggestion to be considered, because im trying to build something but i literally cant, and its so sad

anyways these are the things

1 : lock in place : basically while placing, youd be able to press a key to lock the object in place, allowing you to view it from all angles, pressing this button again would show you how it looks if it were actually placed down, and then pressing it a third time will bring it back to normal

2 : adjusting height using 2 keys or something, just 2 keys you press that will raise or lower an object while your not moving it, moving the object while adjusting the height would reset its placement back to your mouse, using lock in place on the first mode youd still be able to move the structure up and down with these keys

3 : make it so you can choose whether or not walls will create a barrier going all the way to the ground, i was trying to build a cool tower out of walls, like a circle of walls on the bottom, and then walls stacked on eachother going up, and it was gonna be really cool, but the gates allowing entrance into the the floor of each stack were blocked by the walls barrier coming down

4 : less obstruction : please make obstruction more lenient, it would really make things a lot easier, obstruction is really annoying, if your gonna let me place a wall down on top of a surface, but then when i delete the surface under the wall and then try placing the surface back down again, suddenly its obstructing? i dont think surfaces should count as something that can be obstructed by anything other than just another surface

5 : extra small surfaces : please just add a surface a fourth of the size of the small surface so then people can make more interestingly shaped islands other than just big giant squares in eastern

6 : more decor : 90% of the decorations are just storages like barrels and boxes and different variations of barrels and boxes, cmon be more creative, what about statues and beds, desks, trees, thrones even, and ALL of that stuff, let me truly design my island, rather than it just looking like one HUGE warehouse, oh yeah and also make a variant of the stands where there is no stand its just a position where a castaway stands and does something, like, sometimes i want just the castaway and not the whole stand, because sometimes the stand looks a bit awkward

thats it

gonna have the topic be bookmarked till the ability to vote for suggestions return

If I could vote for this, I would. I’ll keep an eye out and vote when I can

what even happened to voting?

I don’t know, it just stopped being there


But if we are back on topic:
We just need more stuff that is already in game. More houses, more small things that are placed on islands, and hell, maybe even voxel building?

what even happened to it

it just vanished in the middle of yesterday

have you made a post in Site Feedback talking about it yet?

yes

I did

Misinput has asked headless to take a look into it after failing to figure it out on their own

There are actually two somewhat unorthodox ways you can make really good staircases:

1: Layering lumber piles on top of each other. It requires a lot of exacting spacing, but the end result looks pretty good if you have a few ramps acting as supports for it.

2: Placing banners on top of each other, going as low as you can on each consecutive banner. It takes a ton of decoration build slots, but looks incredible.

Why did I make this response: Because I felt like it.

(At least, unorthodox as in I personally haven’t seen it done much)

I feel I forgot something that I wanted to put here

yay
