Nudge

[info]

When you get to that 8th m or nudge and are almost there its the same feeling as trying to use BP Designer. The Devs in their wisdom have put a hard limit on both distance and axis and it is pretty severe.

Not all is lost, with Infinite Nudge I have pushed big Blueprints nearly half a km and now IN also has Pitch and Yaw, Z Axis and fine grain controls along with Menu settings to tailor to ones liking.

I do have to say this is a pretty incredible feature added to vanilla (after the mod) and is super helpful placing BPs, Buildings and even belts and pipes as you can move around to different angles to check how things align before committing.

Where can I find thed mod? I am trying to do the double lamppost shown at 10:13 of this video but the vanilla nudge (even after pressing H) is forcing me to place the pole either too far or too close to the power pole, it skips the position shown in the video.

Never mind, after rewatching the video I noticed he mentions the "micromanage" mod. Will hunt for it.

Nudge really is a base-tool that needs some more love:
The limit should just be the normal build-distance limit, it should work for EVERYTHING (including starting from a snapped-position), it needs to support all 3 dimension, as well as full 3D rotation (with fine rotation and that for everything no matter where it is placed).

Scale now too... It's my temp replacement for Micro Manage.
Not sure why you'd need to nudge something to the other side of the map, but SCIM would likely do it much quicker..

Cause i sometimes just want to push something a biiit further and it just doesn't let me. Why not just have the same limite as building everything else so it is just consistent?
Why would you NOT want it to be the same?

Nudge is for fine-tuning. Why didn't you put it closer to the desired location in the first place?

Nudge isn't allowing to get close enough to the desired position. It is either too far or right on top of the other object. Neither is good.

If you look at the video at the position mentioned you'll see that the video shows putting the lamp posts "almost" on top of the power pole but not quite on it. That gives the combined item a look of being all one piece.

If you put them at the closest vanilla "nudge" position they are too separated, and if you let it put the first pole right on top of it, the second pole is rejected because there already is an item of that type (lamp post).
