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
im not a programmer but wouldnt they be able to add a grid or something
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
And simulating a whole grid for each part would be VERY unoptimized
It isn’t a grid
Basically
o
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)
ok
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
no they did
Really goes to show how much of a pain in the ass this would be to make
ae
rope
no
ok

when you attach 2 blocks you save when their touching each other than reload
ae
in babft
??
Why are we talking about their saving system
im not a programmer (again) but if they can make bloon strings why cant they make one that can make other stuff connect
am dk
Ballon strings are legitimately in Roblox
One side of the rope constraint us on the attachment, the other on the ballon
That’s it
i likballon
