Being able to select several "blocks" at once and move them up/down etc.

Hi, first of all, great game. It was a really fun experience!

Anyways, let me leave a tiny suggestion for the game here, if that feature which I am suggesting is already in the game, I am strongly sorry.

What I mean is, I would love a function which would allow me to select several "blocks" - and move them all at once, like you move your building. Except it is only a part of it.

Many times have I built something, which sadly turned out to be needing a single block more of height between the upper area, and the lower one, so what I had to do is to completely delete the upper area, put the "block" in the middle, and rebuild the upper area from scratch.

Would be great to be able to avoid that.

Or, similarly, allow one to drag a specific block and have it translate (and, preferably, finely rotate, but we don't have that yet) everything that is connected to it without needing to select everything. Then allow importing as an additional group (rather than replacing everything already), and cloning.

That would /greatly/ facilitate the construction of machines with common components.

I already made a thread asking this exact question. Could you use the search function next time and bump my topic instead of making duplicate threads? Thanks :D

7X stop commenting on everyone's post they can post what they want to regardless if they posted a 'dupe or wasteful thread'.

Blah, my first try of the game. 1.create tall chopper machine. 2.see it fall over. 3. no way to make it shorter by removing a block other than build the top piece again. 4. Frustration, life is too short if basic controls such as these are missing. Don't think i'll launch the game again.

Well. Found out there is a mod for better build tools, so went the extra mile, installed it and seems ok. Strange that this functionality is not readily in the game itself. Cancelled my refund.
