Can I move the balloon attachment?

[Malidictus]

Simple question, really: can I move the balloon attachment (the place where the balloon attaches to the rest of the ship) relative to the entire structure? Failing that, can I entirely remove a balloon after I've added it?

The game just informed me that there's a limit to how far I can build from "the balloon". Apparently, I went too far forward. I still have room in the back so - worse come to worst - I can just painstakingly take down and replace every entity on the ship, one at a time. But I was hoping I could just... shunt the balloon slightly forward?

I noticed earlier when adding a second balloon core, that there doesn't seem to be a way to, um... remove a balloon core? Is there? Because if I could do that, then I could... for one thing, reposition my balloon cores relative to each other, but for another: I could create a temporary core, upgrade that, remove one of the old cores, readd it slightly forward, then return things to how they were. Is there a way to do that?

Yes, you can.

however, you cant just remove it because your ship has a weight limit. so what i did was made a second one and placed it, (i had to build out a little) then expanded it so it could compensate for the loss of my other balloon. I removed any expansions from the OG balloon i added because it seems it needs to be in its base smallest form to be movable and i relocated it. Then I added the expansions back when I had more helium.

Oh, so I can "relocate" the balloon like a regular item? OK, that's good to know. Thank you :)

You actually can't move the baloon.
At least I couldn't figure out how.
You will have to place a second baloon, then remove the first one and place it again where you want it.
To do so, you may have to extend the airship first.

How would I remove an entire balloon core? There's no option for that in the build tool.

Middle mouse button to enter deconstruct mode

Oh... OK, I didn't realise it would be that simple :) Since there's an option for un-upgrading a balloon, I figured there'd be a separate option for removing it. Using the generic "deconstruct" option makes sense. Thank you.
