Block Placement Distance

[Potent]

I used to love this game but the current block placement distance in creative mode has compleatly ruined it for me. I can adapt to the new building system but i cant stand playing when i can only build from 7 blocks away. I dont understand how they thought limiting the block placement distance by so much was a good idea.

Hold Ctrl and scroll mouse wheel

Not working in survival it seems to me. trying to place a titan engine while literally standing inside the block lol thats insane.

A) You necroed a 5 year old thread.

B) You can't change the default placement distance in survival without the use of god/admin mode.

Perhaps you should rather blame Keen for keeping this flaw in the game for 5 years instead of me for using the search function instead of starting a new topic for known issue.

At the very least you should thank me for distracting you from your boring meaningless existance for a few seconds.

A block appears to be placed wherever you're looking. I place blocks really far away all the time without holding control and scrolling. In creative I can build a colomn of whatever block I have selected 40 to 60 or more blocks high.

It's not the game.

Its about the survival mode, not creative mode.

Survival is meant to be more difficult. Blocks are placed where we aim them to be placed in either game mode. If you're having issues doing it share screen shots or a video. Maybe something's up with your game files. Try verifying them.

No need for a vid or anything, dude couldnt move the block closer or further away in survival mode.

The answer is you can only move placement further away or closer to you in creative mode not survival mode like Weaver said.

Its popped up many times over the years as default survival distance can be a pita with large blocks like the refinery, so a lot of people want the distance scroll option in survival as well.

And yeah... holy necro batman!

Sorry but +3 months old discussions get locked because the game is not the same after a update so old ones may/will contain false information, also to avoid community reports about "Necroing old".

This old discussion (2016) is now locked and don't be shy to create a new one if needed.


Edit

Usually the OP report asking for a lock when too old, or the members in the discussion reporting about "Necroing old".
