Feature one of the rc15 devs, Merian added to rc15. It's hard for me to express just how helpful this is with speeding up the building flow when placing cubes in different rotations/floating, would be a huge QoL change.

upper zephyr
oh that is neat as hell

IIRC that was a Rift Frigate feature for all 3 axis
wary dew
just looked it up, what it does is basically the same

Please also have it so you can move it by dragging your mouse while holding down a bind though
upper zephyr
I might need Brenntervention on that since its a bit more advanced, but right now I'm also getting z and x plane support working
next rapids
Yeah that would be great
being able to quickly do this as opposed to reaching across my keyboard to move it is what made me use it
upper zephyr
still has some weird edge cases to work out and then ergonomics, but

with advanced mode block placement becoming keyboard based for better ergonomics. it might free us up to use click and drag to move the plane. I think that might have to be a brenn thing though
next rapids
Oh also, being able to change opacity/color of it would be sweet
wary dew
Oh hey it looks cool
Btw this was something I was thinking of but couldn’t add in rc15 because mouse keybinds aren’t addable to the keybind section yet and neither are multi key keybinds without making it semi hidden.
Allow the build plane to be moved 1 grid at a time using the scroll wheel + some other key when looking at it.
Other stuff about the build plane is that you are able to pick and delete cubes through the build plane.

yo is this a feature yet
warm echo
not in the current version, yo
lone aspen
dev build?
wary dew
Rc build :3
lone aspen
dam.
fair bobcat
It actually is in the game, if you go into advanced building mode and use the mousewheel you can move up/down the horizontal grid
lone aspen
HUZZAH!! can you change which co-axial planal alignment (for lack of better term) is used? Like switching from XZ to XY or ZY?
Can it be built on from both sides?
fair bobcat
I don't think it can be switched to ZY, or at least I don't know how to. Truth be told I found this out by pure accident while messing with advanced mode 😅
fair bobcat
Can it be built on from both sides?
And by that you mean if mirrowed mode works? If so, yes it works
lone aspen
no, like is the plane only "build against top" or is it "build against top or bottom, depending on which side you're on"?
wary dew
he means rotating the giant thing sideways
Im pretty sure you can though, what button it is on? No clue
fair bobcat
no, like is the plane only "build against top" or is it "build against top or b...
Oh I see, I tested it and yes you can place blocks either above or beneath the plane
warm echo
wAIT it's in?
fair bobcat
wAIT it's in?
Try the advanced buildmode with the mousewheel and you'll see
upper zephyr
Yeah it's in, I just kinda forgot to progress bits it lmao
I needed to make keybind UI for it but then I thought about UI clutter and I think I need to make a universal F1 "show me the controls" popup for different modes
next rapids
I *might* need Brenntervention on that since its a bit more advanced, but right ...
are you still planning on doing this btw
ik the dude that made the feature in rc15, he could probably just show you how it is
wary dew
thought it already did those axis's
next rapids
it does, i'm referring to being able to quickly reposition it and the axis chosen with your mouse + one button
