Copy-paste building is so frustrating!!!!!!

[SetNode]

For some ♥♥♥♥ing reason, whenever I copy something, and want to paste it onto another thing, It just doesn't work.

I can be clear of the ♥♥♥♥ing blueprint ghost-block♥♥♥♥♥♥ but still I can't seem to place anything down even though there is NOTHING that should be obstructing it.

Is there any way to efficiently do this?

(I'm sorry for the "♥", but I'm just really♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥off)

if you hold down crtl and scroll the mouse wheel it will put the blueprint further away from you or you could place it in spectator mode.

In terms of 'pasting' a blueprint onto another existing structure, it do this in spectator mode cause its a pain in the ass otherwise, though the ctrl scroll method i mentioned can make it easier.

But ctrl scroll will also change the turning speed (sensitivity) of spectator mode, so be aware.

One trick is to remember that whatever block your cursor is pointed at when you copy (or cut) is the "pivot point" for when you paste.

So, put your cursor on the block you want to be pasted with the block on the other grid when making the copy or else you'll have issues.

I've used Creative mode for design work and often create little handles (two or three light armor blocks) coming out from the section so I can use them as "pivot points" when cutting and pasting. This helps if the shapes are not cooperative.

This is really important when copy paste building, the block you look at when you copy it is the block it will attach from when you paste.

Caused me a lot of headache with copy paste untill i found that out :)
