No clip mode?

[Solarstrike]

I built a rocket and ejected on accident. It's stuck in the atmosphere. :/ Is there a no clip/free flying mode so i can go get it? Thanks

[FINKELHUBER]

i have the same problem :/

i fell off my rocket powered elevator. Seriously flymode or noclip would be a really useful hidden feature

An unrestrained no-cliping mode would likely be too tempting for people to not constantly use, and maybe ruin the Dev team's attempt at developing the game's gameplay (wow that is awkward to read). Players are testing out (what little there is of) gameplay, and if something short-circuits it, then testing would be harder for the Dev team.

That's not to say I don't like the idea, or it is bad, but it may not be ideal right now.

However, I did try to split the difference by suggesting a limited version of no-cliping mode for debugging by having a kind of 'time freeze' mode where it pauses the physics engine, and gives a no-cliping ghost that can move around and deactivate or delete normally inaccessible objects. When you turn the mode off, your camera snaps back to where your character was. This method should still preserve some of the gameplay while also addressing the common problem people are having with rogue creations.

Now that I think about it, a no-cliping time-freeze mode may also offer players a way to do interested screenshots and videos too, which could help promote things more for Axolot. If they do add that, I get the feeling they may need to add in motion blur effect that stays put when time is frozen, since otherwise, dramatic and neat pics could be hard to stage and context of action could be lost.

Ha! Love it!

Took me a moment to figure out what you meant by the 'quote', but that's definitely saves space.

Also, thanks.

Well until a useful feature to retrieve a project/invention/creation from outside the boundaries is available, i'll reserve interest in playing the game further.

What the heck are you creating?! I thought someone had to purposefully make things that gltich through the ground or walls to have them go lost outside the the usual gaming area.

If your only goal is to break outside the sky box or something just to build there, you maybe playing the wrong game.

Consider this: you make a very tall elevator and you fall off it while it's still in the up position. What would you do about that?

Since I have built a Sky Lift (lift capacity of 4000 metal blocks that can go all the way up to the skybox), and have fallen off it (got out of my seat to turn on the radio, and was thrown out like a driver in a car accident without a seatbelt), so I already faced that annoyance.

You can see the screenshots of how I overcame it (after a brief moment of shock and disbelief) on my profile. Short answer would be, I wouldn't sit on my hands and cry about it and quit playing. Within minutes, several ideas on to get back up there (one idea to bring it down) came to mind.

Draegast, a YouTuber I watch, had it much worse, and didn't let that stop him.

So I don't have to consider it, since it isn't an academic question for me.

Doesn't stop me either. But it's still annoying.

I'll send you a friend invite, I can fly up and get it for you remind me next time I'm on :D

I actually have a problem MUCH worse. One of my friends that I frequently play SM with was doing something "for science" while I was making a massive piston house. I don't want to delete the save because of the house, but the save is unusable due to the massive lag that his "science project" has caused. The project was flying about, and I came so close to catching it once but failed. After that failed attempt, I was close to catching it again, just before it phased into the ground and now resides above the skybox somehow, causing infinite lag (and depression). Any thoughts on how to get it out? Perhaps going into the game files maybe, or something else?
