Hi @eternal sail - I have noticed several people mention this so I am going to go ahead and make a thread for the Devs to take a look at.

@random barn thank you

remapping block in Settings keybinding to the exact same thing right mouse button might work because now I'm working

Ahh, did you change the keybind on your removal stuff to something that was used in the latest update?

[elder arch]

I think i've figured it out, the keybind used for removing blocks is the same you use for block and parry, don't use that keybind in other combination, me having block and parry on Q was the culprit, since q is also used in combination with mouse scroll to adjust building blocks placement.
Would be nice if we either got a separate keybind for removing blocks, or make it more clear in the keybind menu that block and parry also is remove blocks when in the building menu. 🙂

oh! hi! yeah the issue is not actually about being unable to remove things, that's just an unfortunate coincidence with overlapping keybinds, the problem, as I see it, is just the fact that that rebinding block/parry also reminds the remove key in build mode. so, when set to Q, a quite common button for parry imo, it clashes with the change position keybinds and renders you unable to remove anything

letting you rebind these seperately would fix this issue completely

@short goblet Can you please include the requested information above and explain what you did to me in DM in here so the devs can take a look at it?

Hello Mama Kira. While playing this evening we found the solution. Since I'm a lefty I was using the custom key bindings. I switched to "Preset A" and everything came back to normal. So I went back to Custom settings and clicked on "Reset All Bindings to Preset..." then assigned the keys back to suit my needs (move, run, jump, glide, fight) without modifying the building key binds. It's a little awkward but I'm never in any hurry when it comes to building. Thanks very much for your support. It helped us pinpoint the problem.

That is so strange that it didn't happen on my game with your keybinds. (that was you, right? it's been a long week already 🤣 )

I am glad you figured it out, and the devs are aware that people are having issues with this specific keybind, so hopefully they'll look into it.

[short goblet]

Yes, this was me. I'm very glad as well. After spending days building our own dedicated server, learning about router port forwarding and firewall rules plus months of play time. It would have been heart breaking to have to drop this wonderful game. Warm regards.
