WTF Crane!
So i was having a really fun time with this game, its actually really well put together, theres a few things here and there that are a bit dodgy, but its early access you expect that, but my god the crane, who thought it would be a good idea to control the crane entirely with the mouse, i was flinging concrete walls all over the place at a slight mouse movement. Please, Please, Please change the controls to mouse and keyboard to make this thing easier to use

Today was the update #2 hotfix - with improvements for crane. It can be easier than before.

not much easier, maybe a little bit slower but still single mouse control, also that level is bugged, i got to the point of doing the indoor tiles and its no longer telling me how many i need, its all guess work now

Yes I had the amounts and materials needed disappear on me. Will have to replay the game to check out the crane controls. Might be nice to have the option to use mouse or keybord in the future

After a while you get used to the crane. You just have to use the mouse wheel to lower/up the hook. Else you only have to point the hook where you want it to be. The materials disappear when they fit in the blueprint.

thats not the kind of disappear we are talking about, when it tells you on the side of the screen what you need, so you can buy it all, thats what we mean, that stuff is gone when im tiling inside the house, so i have to guess at how much i need and then waste a heap of it if i got too much

get a good mouse where you control dpi on the mouse itself. Its amazing what you can do with the proper tools.

The crane is rediculous. You just fling material trough the air and hope something sticks to the blueprint parts. Unfunny. :(

I find the crane very easy to use. Use scroll-wheel to raise and lower it smoothly.

raising and lowering isnt the problem, its the flinging ♥♥♥♥ around

Another problem with the crane is that you have to leave the crane to open the shop. I hope this can be fixed in future updates.

Hmm, doesn't do that for me. I can move it slow and drop it on point.

hmm yes spend more money when its not necessary. I agree the crane is rather erratic
