Plank and Beam Re-sizing Problem since new API

    As of recent gameplay (Oct. 26th, 2016) I've been having multiple issues since the release of the new API.... Discussing here; There seems to be a glitch where planks are not re-sizing correctly. Holding [Shift] and pressing [Left Arrow] until plank is at smallest width, then [Right Arrow] 1 time gives me the width I usually use for boards to do trim work. Lately, I'd started have alignment issues... I'd do one side of doorway and come back later, do other side of doorway, then put trim across top but, couldn't get them to match up due to sometimes planks not re-sizing the same....


    SOLUTION: Exit game and re-start game... now planks size up properly again.... weird..


    I thought this should be mentioned.


    There are other glitches too.. like serious lag even though I'm in Single player mode?... Getting stuck/requires restart of game also... I'm sure there are more...

    Well... the plank issue is caused by the minimum size of planks. We changed it some updates ago, it has a minimum size of 5 units now (considering a block has a size of 100 units). Resizing planks uses steps of 10 units, so if you scale it down to the minimum size, you can't scale it back to the default size (unless you scale it to the maximum size). I know this is a little bit awkward. You can change the resize precision though, by typing "setl <value>" (e.g. "setl 5", so you can resize in steps of 5), in the future, there will be a more convenient way to do that.


    About lags in singleplayer: This always depends on your hardware, what hardware do you have exactly? Maybe post a report file here (to do that, open console ingame [by pressing ^ or `] and type "report" [w/o quot. marks], then a file called "report" [followed by a number] will appear in your game directory [steamversion: to get there, rightclick on rw in steam -> properties -> local files -> browse local files], please upload this file here)

    Thanks for addressing this post so quickly.... here is the report. Also, I get crashes a lot and see some info about java problems. I have java on my pc updated to latest version (not sure even has anything to do with it) but, I'm not only one with this issue... maybe you could see something in it that might be an easy enough fix? Including error report.

    Thanks for the report file and the log. We'll do some changes to the game, this issue might be solved with the next update (which will be available in a few days). In case you still encounter this issue after the update, please let us know ;)
