#Please Remove the Minimum Movement Restrictions for Schematics

I have no idea why schematics are forced to move at a minimum of 0.25 studs and rotate a minimum of 11.25 degrees.

If I want to adjust something by a single pixel, I should be allowed to lol.
(I currently need to adjust something by a single pixel)

I'm aware that there's a bunch of jank with rotating stuff being able to lower how much you move something in a particular direction but I'd like to just... not have to deal with that!

#

There's no real reason for these restrictions to exist in the first place as far as I can tell lol.

#

If there must be a minimum movement amount or a minimum rotation amount, I want it to be nearly imperceptible.

#

that doesn't make a bit of sense because people move things less than that all the time.
like I mentioned earlier, I have a schematic that is pixels off.

Just use studio at that point Brodie

#

It’s a feature because it invokes creativity

#

Like how pixel art is a limited way to create art work

#

Because every pixel counts

It's easier to script my own building system than handle this 0.25 and 11.25 restriction!

#

(I already did that >:[

#

You're right, every pixel does count and that's why I want to be able to fill these incredibly small gaps in my blueprints without needing to rely on janky rotation nonsense.

ruins the creativity

manic juniper
#

what are you talking about???

#

I'ma be real with you

#

the creativity you're talking about doesn't come from being forced nor does it come from nonsense like you're talking about.

#

it comes from self imposed restrictions.

#

Not being able to move a blueprint a pixel to the left without rotating it a certain way, moving it a certain distance, then rotating it a different way and so on is not that.

#

you're insane if you think that's the same thing

#

It isn't even limitations in this situation, its just useless tedium to do something that should be simple.

#

@quasi umbra Is this what you call a system built to encourage creativity?

#

I feel like having a smaller or unrestricted grid might have some complications with the scaling system, especially with texture jank in a way

manic juniper
#

how

#

people already build things ignoring the typical limitations all the time

tiny osprey
#

im also gonna have to do agree with slappi here 😭 free reign kinda makes it bland the process of figuring out what to do invokes creativity in a way

manic juniper
#

how

#

no part of trial and error rotating and moving invokes feelings of creativity in me

#

hear me out

#

if you want to limit yourself to the nonsense we got right now

tiny osprey
#

I feel breaking the limitations is creativity itself. I feel like spending the additional time forcing shifts in it just makes your accomplishment feel better

manic juniper
#

nobody is stopping you

manic juniper
#

stop.

#

justifying a lack of basic QoL because "creativity" and "accomplishment" is a new type of insane I haven't seen before

#

If I wanted these limitations then I'd impose them on myself.

#

I do not need the game to force me to have limitations.

#

nor do I want the game to force me to have limitations

tiny osprey
#

Strong words pretty_pls but I really dont think a single pixel gap is gonna ruin your build respectfully, imagine trying to match a really specific angle with full 360 range, its just messy

manic juniper
#

literally every part of that part is off slightly and it is bothering me and I can't seem to fix it even though it fits perfectly on the mirrored side

tiny osprey
#

hovering over with selection tool usually snaps it back into place soo pretty_pls

manic juniper
#

regardless even if I wasn't having this issue

#

I'd want to see this changed

quasi umbra
#

and if not its still like 1% off

manic juniper
#

what part of making the act of placing blueprints as tedious as humanly possible encourages creativity?

#

all it does is make me want to make things solely with 90 degree angles so I don't have to deal with that nonsense.

#

that is the opposite of encouraging creativity, it literally couldn't be encouraging less creativity.

#

this is not complicated, you just have to get that delusion out of your head.

#

anyways I hope to see the building system further shed limitations to allow for better builds to be made faster without needing to compromise ideas.

#

I never expected to run into people that would be... against basic QoL???
