Inconsistent attachement surfaces

error 404 shared this bug 22 days ago
Submitted

If you try to attach some blocks, that do not have the outer surfaces the size of a full block, on the "window" parts of a Prototech gyro you will fail. Pictures 1-4

On the other hand some blocks have attachment points that appear to make attached block float above the surface with no physical contact.

I suppose Darth Vader is holding it in place by force alone Yet they are full functional and powered, even if power is transmitted by the void of space. Pictures 5-7

Since it seems a bit unfair some blocks get superpowers, i would request you revisit ALL your blocks and correct them to the same philosophy.

funny mountpoint is half a classic at this point

but, you cant fix #5, infact they had to solve a big anoyence by introduce #5 on the double corner light

everything else there is a way, #3 the mass block should probably just have a full block mountpoint at this point, #6/7 can do with a smaller side mountpoint at around the base,

but reducing/increasing mountpoint could break existing builds who rely on them connecting or not connecting

Any change they ever introduce can and will brake existing builds, that is massively overused excuse. When they introduce changes, like radiation, food etc they didn't ask the players if they are willing to put up to it, yet when a player asks for something it is a valid excuse!?


regardless, all things considered including engine, code limitations etc, if thin air alone is good enough to hold camera or double railing in place, it is also good enough to hold blocks on the window of proto gyro.

ik, therefore i present you the 2 sentences above for some solutions and why something cant be that isnt "will break build"

additionally, i can tell you the prototech gyro glass will probably stay not attaching, since you can find the same thing happening on the non-dlc o2h2 generator, so it isn't base-less

In the end i have reported a bug, not asked for your opinion.

keen likely won’t consider any of them as bugs except for the hydrogen thruster mount point

you cant just convince yourself, you need to convince keen that what you are proposing is actually bug that should be fixed, and making a bug report isn’t a free win

i yapped all of the stuff earlier because they gonna go "we asked the artist and it is intended that glass don’t mount stuff and how many other blocks with glass don’t mount stuff also" and just ignores your hydrogen thrusters that actually make sense

like, if you want this ticket to go anywhere please just focus on the hydrogen thruster, because the visually floating actually make the report strong
