Can't weld inside hologram

orcaman98 shared this bug ago

Submitted

I am classifying this as a bug because it behaves differently to SE1 and I don't believe that's intentional, as this severely inhibits the new hologram-first welding system.

When laying multiple holograms in 3D, such as drawing out a floor and then arranging production blocks on top of it, the player can no longer be inside one hologram to weld a different block. In my example, I cannot weld the floor blocks under my refinery because my welder will only try to weld the refinery until I actually stick it into the floor block, which I of course cannot weld then because I'm in the way at that point. Whatever minimum distance was used to make this possible in SE1 doesn't seem to be implemented or working.

I expected this to be fiddly - I promise I tried very hard. I don't think it's possible.

I have the same bug

Same problem, and this destroy completly the benefits of holografic building, i also miss (a lot) the option of only seeing the hologram attached to a real block.

For exeple you se all the hologram but when you take out the welder, you only see the blocks you can weld, and not all the hologram

Or just make it toggable by the welder. Or at least make the welder only aim and affect the blocks that can be built.

This might get fixed in the upcoming update when they make ship welders active but the problem still remains. It seems they plan to fix it.

This behavior makes building a pre built blueprint impossible if there are internal blocks to build. The welder only targets the top layer blocks or even if you fly inside of the hologram the welder will just target the block you are inside of which just says it’s obstructed. This makes pre building any ships for survival mode in creative pointless. I’m honestly surprised this isn’t getting more attention.
