Last patch break ship building

[Kryptøn]

"Shipbuilder: Ship module variants and flip versions will now correctly revert to the original when pressing the Cancel button"

Lots of us was using this feature to create original designs when certain part was coliding a bit. Most of the time it was only use for esthetic concerns on structural parts.
I'm so sad that this patch comes out. It breaks all my ships design.

Do You mean We cant interlock them by putting then in position , then flipping them when they align ? oh that will totally break a couple of my ships. :(

Yep that's what it means. I was on my way to finish a mod to share my ships. I was planning to build the last one this evening on the Creation Kit. I quickly noticed I was not able to use the glitch on some structural combination I'm used to (for esthetic purpose only).
Afetr few test, I decide to check the patch note and see this. With the huge amount of Youtube vidéo explaining they use this feature to create the most beautifull ship in the community, I can't believe that Betehsda decide to wipe this feature from the ship builder without warning or consulting the community.

Thats Gutting!, I thought That was a feature and was supposed to do that, i do it with some Landing gear and them triangle wings , they're good at melting together, Darn :(

Yup that's sad and that was not needed. If people wanted to cancel a part move there was already the cttl + z option. I don't understand why they made that change. Ship building was the last interest I had for this game 😮‍💨

They fixed an exploit. Don't worry a modder will most likely mod it back in.

[Astronimo]

It's already there (the mod).

Ok thx for the info, glad it's reversible. Do you have the link to the mod ?

It's because it's not a feature as you keep calling it, it was a bug. They fixed a bug which apparently was helpful to ship builders. Bethesda probably had no idea that people actually liked that bug.

As someone already said modders will probably put it back in.

Thank you for

Yup after some research, I might have found the solution by changing the tweak tolerance with the properties fShipBuilderModuleOverlapTolerance.

Will test it after my vacations. Will tell you if it worked in few days to finish my mod. Take care pilots.

It doesnt break existing ships, you just cant place the parts the same way

I don't like relying on unintended glitches for building, its the one reason why I hate building in No mans sky.

The way I see it : if you're serious about building you should use every useful mod that exists, there's no reason not to. I can't imagine a serious builder not using world edit and schematic mods on minecraft for example.

So either you're very casual and don't care about this particular glitch being fixed, or you're a dedicated builder and use placement tweak mods anyway, but I can't really relate to an in between standpoint
