How in the hell do i craft/build anything ???

Pressing "F" does nothing, "crafting hammer" bullcrap in hand or not ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this system is AWFUL !

Equip hammer, then press F key will bring up new build menu, careful when running around with hammer in your hand you can remove sections of your roof and not even notice

I did, pressing F does nothing.

Make sure it is actually the construction hammer, and not the repair hammer. They are different things.

You have to learn recipes first.

[Zeelot]

Items will be highlighted in green when you have the resources (in your Inventory) needed to build the item/s and White if you need more. Left mouse will change the build options and show an X in which you can remove said item/s.

Make sure you don't have F mapped to another function and make sure you don't have a filter on.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell, i crafted the REPAIR hammer not the crafting hammer...damn convoluted crafting. It's now 10 times harder to build a lousy foundation.

Thx for replies - fixed.

watching people struggle with change is fun. This new system is objectively better, but ♥♥♥♥♥ anyway because YOU couldn't read...

The system is amazing, this is definitely user error. Way better than it was previously

Now if you were trying to ride the wight horse i would have agreed i was guilty of thinking you'd mount it like any other mount in the game but no you go through the inventory to mount it. But like others have said it's a good system for building just need a little time to get used to it at least the hammers are clearly labelled.

Pick up hammer and Press B to pick the thing you want to build. It must be B. I had the EXACT same rage lol.

Personally I am loving the new building system. It makes building so much easier and quicker. Hubby set up a dedicated server for us and the only thing that slows me down on building is running out of materials, we are not cheating we are actually collecting and making the mats, the only build cheat I use is fly mode so that I can move easier and do the higher building parts.

The build hammer menu is organized and easy to scroll through to select the piece you want and easy to remove pieces if you place them wrong. You also do not have the issue of having to many or too little of a certain piece as you only use the mats from your inventory.

Crafting Hammer and new building menu are the best improvements ever...if...one knows how to use it :)

[Mad Squirrel]

I will say that it's an interesting change to the game's crafting system. I remember when you could build structures without the Crafting Hammer. You could just build them straight-up like in Space Engineers (if in Creation Mode) or Ark.

Not an intuitive feature, but does organise the menus better (once you learn them). I was expecting a building feature like other games where you select the piece, place it, and then use the tool (with hammering animations and such) to build the piece.

I haven't used one in some time, but a repair hammer actually has the player hammering, doesn't it? If so, they could just borrow from that. They already have the placeholder piece as you position w/e it is, as well.
