How do I remove misplaced blocks?
Is there a way to pick up the misplaced foundation block?

You can only pick up frames, the first wood block you do, the one you can change the shape by holding reloading. If it's an upgraded version, you can't, only destroying it. If you have a Land Claim claimed you can pick up crafting stations, but not storage containers.

In case you mean land claim block it can't be picked up but they are cheap to craft so point at the block, hold E, select X and it gets destroyed. Then just place a new block.

turn on creative mode. Click "u", type in "Superdigger" and click top icon for Developer Tools. That purple gun will get rid of your misplaced block.

Add an Alt+Z option for last 3 or 5 blocks placed. Why not? Mistakes are made=rebuild. Why are games not like Software. Games are Software. Alt+Z!

Actually, a lot of games already have that implemented, if you misplaced anything, usually there's a way to remove by holding the mouse button, or using a tool, or simply dismantling/destroying and receiving 100% of the resource back...

The thing is... 7 Days to Die is an old game, it looks like it's new because recently released, but it's running since 2010? 2013? The game has more than 10 years at least... This means, at this point, if you didn't see this feature before, we won't see in near future, so you pretty much need a mod to do that, or do cm and cheat your way out.

As others stated you cannot remove built up blocks. I would love for them to add an undo like Enshrouded did.

Ha-ha, since you've mentioned it, I recall myself asking for a simple Automove feature which was declined as a cheat or unnecessary. All the reasons for decline were ... well... unreasonable. No harm to imply, nothing. Just, "hey, why do you wish for this thing to be in the game"... why not. Will it break your own game or something? Guys... Don't use it if you don't want to. Punto switcher or else won't do. So many people have a second monitor and some even stream the game. Automove feature will save all the time for travelling a straight road, even is it's just 10 seconds. You don't have to hold that move key. You have no idea how many chat lines you can read in 10 seconds. Or mod, or else. This game is about getting to a POI. Tier 3+ is +- 0.5-4 km. Come on xD

People are silly xD
