Is there an hardcoded lower limit for blocks size ?

    • New

    All is in the subject: Is there an hardcoded lower limit for blocks size ?


    I ask this because I currently create writing materials (scrolls, quill, others small medieval tools...). It seems I cannot create a block thinner than 0.01, and that can be usefull in a such situation.


    I suppose the only solution is to use panes instead of blocks when its possible ?

    I believe this is the smallest grid size necessary to correctly set the blueprints of these tools.

    You can probably make it smaller with the `size` command, but then the particles will be ignored in the blueprints.

    However, there's likely another command for this, but only a handful of people know about it. :nerd::D

    Das funktioniert nur über F8 & mit Blaupausen.

    Allerdings muss mindestens 1 Wert (x, y oder z) größer als 0,01 sein.

    Sonst wird das Bauteil ignoriert & nicht platziert.

    Dass kann zwar deaktiviert werden, muss aber manuell umgeschrieben werden.

    Vielen Dank für den Tipp, es funktioniert gut :)

    Yes, there is indeed a hard-coded minimum size of 0.01 for construction elements... but I can change it to 0.001 with the next update :) However, if possible, I would recommend using a pane when working with such small widths (a pane provides better performance compared to a block) ^^

    Thanks a lot, Red, I mainly wanted confirmation :)


    I'm not sure it's necessary to change this limit; it could cause problems for new players, and for more experienced players, I think Forscherdrang's suggested workaround is sufficient.


    I encountered this problem for the first time recently when I was pushing the building system to its limits, so it's an extreme and unrepresentative case. As you can see from the screenshots below, these are really small items that should remain rare. The most notable example is the sealed letter, where the paper was originally a block - replaced by a pane - and the seal cords, which were originally too thick - fixed by Forscherdrang's tip.



    N.B. This items should be available in the next days or weeks in blueprint section.
