Please get rid of fake rocks' particles collision

I believe not once have all of us struggled with placing a block in a newly dug cave just because a tiny rock particle gets in the way. It's especially irritating when building an underground base that requires a lot of drilling through voxels in RMB mode, as you have to wait up to 10 seconds till these 'fake rocks' disappear.

In my view, it would be much better if these particles didn't have collision at all, so that we could place blocks without delay. If it's for some reason not possible, perhaps at least decreasing their despawn time might help?

I like this feedback

In this case, the projection would be an energy shield for the falling asteroids

I don't really undersand what you mean by that. Are you talking about using projectors to sort of delete the rocks? If yes, then I guess it won't work for manual drilling.

The problem with these fake rocks is that they get in the way when you try to place blocks. So, when you, say, drill out a small tunnel to build a corridor, you can't put the blocks right away, because the rocks haven't disappeared yet.

I don't like the fake rocks when im mining for resources because it makes me think im not picking up all the ore. I think the Fake rocks are just unnecessary and dumb.

I agree now if they where actually useful like in the good old days, but we would be better with only the smoke particles, on the performance side of things, otherwise chipping of large pieces of asteroids and putting these in our hangar to mine them would be fun. not saying this needs to be implemented, but if you want to do things with large pieces of rock this would be more engaging, but also harder. also sometimes when you mine entire asteroids away you can have your whole ship destroyed by one invisible voxel if you try to fly through the place where the asteroid once was. so turning small pieces of asteroid in movable pieces or into ore is helpful too, even if it will de-spawn eventually. will clean up the whole asteroid more naturally.

So, I did a little bit of testing and there are no rocks anymore when you right-click drill! My inner mole is so happy right now! Thanks, Keen!
