Not really a bug but it bugs me out. might not explain this well but whenever you try to connect 2 wood planks together when theyre not already connected, they dont connect, if you dont understand, i mean that trying to connect 2 things together with planks doesnt connect them and only connects them to the side your cursor was closest to meaning that you cant connect 2 things together with engineer. if you still dont understand then i guess ill add a video.

Isn’t a bug

#

It’s just that I’d be so incredibly hard to code this and have it work out good

#

Also just isn’t something engineer can do currently

#

It checks for a block near your cursor

#

Goes to the nearest one

#

And suggests places where it could be placed (adjacent to nearby blocks)

#

Anything outside of those suggestions won’t attach directly to that part

#

So not a bug

#

might be dumb but just saying

#

There kinda is a grid for farmer, but that’s not really how it works

#

Engineer building doesn’t work off a grid

#

Adding grid would be useless

o

hot fiber
#

And simulating a whole grid for each part would be VERY unoptimized

tepid solar
#

if you add grid too attach that means you can attach yor build on other builds

#

#

There’s things called attachments

#

There one on each side you can place a part

#

And the mouse checks whatever is closer (like within a few studs)

#

And suggests a place based on that attachment

#

HOWEVER

#

If there’s 2 parts

#

Slight differences im their parts would make it near impossible to make this attachment system

#

Unless you wave have janky and off looking part connections

#

(Also would probably require a whole rework to how engineer builds as a whole)

nimble kestrel
#

ok

hot fiber
#

Also doing the farmer approach with a grid wound heavily limit engineer building

#

Cause well

#

It’s a grid

#

Not even build a boat didn’t incorporate that, they just made overlapping parts attach

tepid solar
#

no they did

hot fiber
#

Really goes to show how much of a pain in the ass this would be to make

tepid solar

rope

tepid solar
#

no

nimble kestrel
#

ok

hot fiber
tepid solar
#

when you attach 2 blocks you save when their touching each other than reload

#

ae

#

in babft

hot fiber
#

Why are we talking about their saving system

nimble kestrel
#

im not a programmer (again) but if they can make bloon strings why cant they make one that can make other stuff connect

tepid solar
#

am dk

hot fiber
#

One side of the rope constraint us on the attachment, the other on the ballon

#

That’s it

tepid solar
#

i likballon

nimble kestrel
#

okay Asuka_0326

hot fiber
#

Please just stop making points if you have NO idea what you’re talking about

#

Balloons and multipart connects are completely different things

#

Balloons are 400x easier probably
