Can't paint blocks in my own faction

[Benecor]

I just read a discussion (locked by moderator) which says that the reason only one person is allowed to paint anything on our entire base is to prevent griefing. The developer says "And there will be no fixed because it is not a bug but a feature."

Does this seem silly to anyone else? It seems a simpler solution to prevent this sort of griefing would be not to share access to your stuff if you don't trust people. Isn't that the whole point of sharing access so that multiple engineers can build, repair, remodel, destroy, and paint together? So we can trust people to not destroy everything we own but we can't trust them not to paint it pink? That's where the line must be drawn?

seems to me that the share with faction option should allow us do just that... share with our faction.

as it stands now, its more like hey we are on the same team... end


i DEFFINATELY dont like this "feature"

Hi, we can paint our creations only and that was changed because too much complaints from the MP players that were tired of finding their creations color changed when coming back after a few days Off.

Tho the owner can set all blocks to "Nobody" so the second player can reset to "ME" and paint, it only takes 2 seconds to do the player switch.

Just set all blocks to "Nobody" to paint together on the same grid.


Tho you can report, go add your vote and comment to the exiting vote Feedback about this on the Portal to help members asking for a new change.

Moderator lock old dead discussions because it is in the forum rules added to pinned important and usually lock because the OP asked for it. you will know more about what is going on when you post in a dead discussion if you read the pinned about lock.

Griefing? No, that's a valid complaint. But the "fix" they did to prevent it? Duh, of course, it's silly. Or more likely, it's a duct tape patch. Most likely because of budget reasons and it not being on any of the execs' priority lists...

The *actual* fix would have been quite simple, at least in concept and user interface. Can't know about the technical implementation required. Anyway, you should simply have a *separate* access right setting for painting, or maybe more generally separate settings for "modifying" and "using". Then everyone could just simply allow or disallow their faction mates painting or modifying their build while still granting usage access to them. Problem solved and both sides happy.

I think you're missing the point, Dan. Why can't people just not share grids they don't want other people messing with? That also "takes 2 seconds".

Meanwhile, if I want to work on our base while my friend is at work, I can't paint it until he gets online and gives me access.

I will surely add this to my monthly report but I need help so I will not be alone reporting.
