I use a lot of planks in building, and with the Unity version of the game, I have to create the plank every time I need one. My suggestion is to have a "plank" shape pre-built in the shape picker menu. It would be a lot easier if I could just choose a generic plank shape.
I think it's too much to ask a casual player to create the plank shape every single time they need one, especially since they have to know how to resize along every axis. I think players from the java version will have an easier time with building if they can choose a plank shape.
I know that a plank is EXACTLY the Same as a block, LOL! I've spent about 500 hours of building in Rising World, so I know how to resize blocks, but it shouldn't be required, each and every time I want a plank. I'm looking for an easier solution for making planks, not just for me, but especially for casual players who are learning the game.
