Creative Mode Delete Bug

Mekadovah shared this bug 5 years ago
Outdated

In creative mode, left click places, right click deletes. Simple enough.

However, small grid small hydrogen thrusters and warheads have an issue where, at nearly all angles, right clicking deletes something else (usually an armor block) behind them. This is visually indicated by the fact that the highlight indicator that appear on a block when it's properly targeted will not appear at those angles.

This is a bothersome issue when trying to work with these blocks because it can appear properly targeted at the right angle, but the moment the mouse is clicked it can shift ever so slightly to the wrong one, and end up deleting an armor block instead (sometimes clean through several other blocks that mysteriously remain untouched.) This issue has persisted for many iterations and remains even with the release version.

The only workaround I've found is starting at another block and performing a click and drag delete in a line so the offending block is hit in the process.

I do not know how many blocks are affected by this, but I do know small grid small hydrogen thrusters and warheads have this problem and it may extend to small grid air vents as well.

In short, these blocks cannot be deleted directly at most angles by right clicking in creative and end up deleting other things behind the target instead. Again, it can be visually indicated by said blocks not being highlighted when moused over, but it is highly sensitive to even the slightest movement of the mouse.

No mods were in use when I most recently encountered this issue nor have mods ever been in use when I saw this problem. It has existed for many iterations of the game now, dating back far before the multiplayer overhaul. It happens to me in any save, any world, new or old.
