Build Camera Broken???

[voidCaster]

Edit: This thread resolved by https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/6516193260171998695/ -- pay attention to Tolwyn's posts.

Tolwyn's problem is totally different than mine, and I'm glad to see his report. HG screwed the pooch with this bug, then after they were done they killed the dog (and went another round with what was left) by forcing it on paying customers as an update.

Original:

I last played a couple of months ago, and everything was more or less functional. There have been a couple of NMS updates since then.

When I hit <whatever my BUILD KEY is> it opens the BUILD MENU, then after I choose an item and go to placement, hitting <whatever my BUILD CAMERA KEY is> reverts me back to the build menu and camera mode is inaccessible. In this case, both KEYS are B.

B is either what the default for both functions was when I last installed NMS and started playing, or else I changed it. I think the game actually binds the BUILD CAMERA KEY to the same key as the BUILD KEY and then is intended to respond when that MULTI-FUNCTION KEY is pressed in the right CONTEXT. There is a separate bindings menu for each CONTEXT.

When the CONTEXT is PLAYER or ON FOOT, tapping B opens up the BUILD MENU showing all the stuff I can build.

Then I pick something to build, and I enter BUILD-PLACEMENT MODE.

When the CONTEXT is BUILD-PLACEMENT MODE, tapping B detaches the CAMERA from the PLAYER, which can only be done in BUILD-PLACEMENT MODE, and then switches to BUILD-CAMERA MODE. Now I can fly away from the body and place the item as precisely as I care to.

When the CONTEXT is BUILD-CAMERA MODE, tapping B returns the CAMERA to wherever the PLAYER last had it (FPS or OTS).

Instead of working as expected (detailed above): When the CONTEXT is BUILD-PLACEMENT MODE, tapping B instead returns to the BUILD MENU as if the CONTEXT was PLAYER.

Does anybody else have this problem? Is this a known bug? Can anyone help?

Have you re-mapped anything? For me, Z opens build mode.

I'm going to amend my original post in case users think I'm joking.

If I understand you correctly it sounds like you have a key bind conflict going on. When I press Z to enter build mode, I can then press B to go in and out of free camera mode. If I press Z while I'm in free camera mode (I've done it before by accident) it makes the camera go back to my avatar, Just like what's happening to you when you press B. My guess is you have enter build mode and free camera mode both mapped to B. Hope this helps.

"Z" has always been the default key for BUILD mode (since inception). "B" is for BUILD CAMERA. Fix your keybindings, problem will go away

In two different ways, I described that I've been running NMS with this configuration since before the Space Anomaly existed in-game and it worked fine up until a couple of months ago. Now the keyboard UI is broken. What I have built-in as muscle memory for building stuff is built-in as muscle memory for a reason, and that isn't working since one of the updates pushed in June or July.

Suggesting a keybind issue once was a brainfart, and somebody already did that. What's your excuse?

No need to be rude. The comments are correct in that Z has always been the default key to enter build mode. Well...for everyone except you, apparently.

Just trying to help. Build mode was changed several updates ago. We all had to re-learn it. Maybe you are remembering the old build mode? Other than that, I'm out of ideas. Good luck with it.

Read this fine User corrected Thread.. some things are different, but I believe you'll find a workaround in there.

Updated—New keybinding behavior has broken Build Camera for me.

Yeah, I'm totally the one trolling my own thread with aggressive and condescending behavior toward people who have more experience than I do, because I think I know everything that ever happened when I'm still wet behind the ears.
