Projection Welding

The projection building is a great feature! I love being able to use creative mode tools such as undo/redo and symmetry. However, I feel it definitely needs some work during this alpha phase. The visuals could use some work as it is sometimes hard to see what is what, especially when using symmetry.

But the main thing I am frustrated by, and that I've seen others complain about online is the welding of projections. I don't know if area welding will fix this or if there's already a solution in the works, but it appears to be impossible to weld a projected block if it's behind another projected block. In my opinion, it kind of defeats a lot of the purpose of being able to see my creation complete before I start welding if I then have to remove projections to access the blocks behind it.

Thanks for a great VS2, and I look forward to any coming fixes and improvements.

This should be reported as a bug it makes welding complete designs near impossible

Agreed, welding anything as a barely complicated design is nearly impossible. Please bring area welding into SE2 with the larger ship welder ASAP. Otherwise there is no real ability to test any functionality beyond very basic "on the fly" designing.

a 2-3 block range but targeting furthest (first) to nearest would fix it...

I'm shocked at the lack of pretty much all users encountering this and saying something online about it.

Projections are essentially useless right now.. sure its in the game but with zero survival functionality..

It needs to have the "show only buildable" function from SE1

I would think that would be very easy to do and I cant help but feel like my time wasn't respected by saying "look we have projection welding!" but it is in fact impossible to weld the internals of any blueprint...............


yes I know its ealry stages of the game bla bla bla but dont promise and include something (with function) if its non functional.


That's like saying hey we have thrusters! but there is no dampening mechanic.

worse still, support showing little or no interest, with the issue certainly not being taken seriously, add to this the issue of easy grid splitting and no way to re-join them, the future isn't looking too good at the moment, a real shame...
