This is frustrating me out of my mind, Cant "Zoom" blocks with MMW

Holding Ctrl and Scrolling the wheel to move blocks further and Closer works in Creative.
But for some reason it doesnt in Survival. I have tried it with mods and without mods.
Pick up a light armor block and hold ctrl and scroll in creative works
Doing the same thing in Survival doesnt. I try picking up a steel plate so i can place it to see if the problem solves... Nope. This is really getting me on my nerves as i cant build anything without it. Specially since i use large ships most of the times.

Note:
Everything else that has to do with the Wheel works:
Painting, Scrolling through wheel objects on the tool bar, scrolling on menus, Switching from single to all weapon mode on ships.

As far as I know it was always a creative mode feature. Never worked in survival.

What?
You're bullshitting me right? I cant play without that ♥♥♥♥. How do i build in survival without that thing, i need it to build properly.

In creative you have magic powers that let you place infinite blocks.

In survival, you have to place blocks by hand. Meaning arms reach. It's always been that way.

Its just a gameplay limitation. You have to make scaffoldings and the like.

It makes building large blocks annoying because i cant see whats blocking....

I built and upgraded this ship all in survival and on a server

Having to hug on stuff to build them is something i do not like. And i am one of those that would rather get rid of the problem than deal with it. If a mod like this does not exist in the workshop i will do it myself. Also, Nice ship, looks better than most of mine which are basically a brick with drills sticking out.

build it in creative, blueprint it, build it from a projector

Got this mod:

Problem Solved.

Great find, thanks, and just subbed to it myself.

@KEEN; Please revert the change you made to the placement distance in survival, it is making things too difficult to place.

Revert? It's always been that close.

No it has been nerfed fairly recently... There are a lot of Modded blocks that can't even be placed now due to the player ALWAYS being inside the bounding box or so close to it one must learn Kung Fu in order to even get in a position to place said modded block...

My friend always Said:
"The Community Fixes what the Devs Didn't."

Although i think its more suitable to put "Improve" than "fix" because its not really broken. [s]
Yea Space engineers Is a COMPLETELLY BUG FREE GAME GUYS, NOT A SINGLE BUG IN SIGHT, DS'S CAN SUPPORT LOTS OF LARGE AND SMALL SHIPS DUE TO THEIR AMAZING OPTIMIZATION AND NET CODE
