Starmade | Build mode: Can't attach new blocks to some blocks
Closed, RejectedPublic

Description

Sometimes I can't attach blocks to specific blocks in build mode. No idea how to reproduce this, but it happens on both ships and stations. It seems to depend on the camera position. Moving the camera often fixes it, but after moving the camera back the issue reappears. It typically affects several blocks in a certain area. In the example in the picture that area extends 1 block in the x-direction, 12 blocks in the y-direction and 13 blocks in the z-direction. It's on a station far away from sector borders.


From left to right:

  1. Block can be placed normally
  2. Cursor was moved to the next block, but new block would be placed in old position
  3. Cursor was moved a little farther, new block would be placed in different, but still wrong position
  4. Cursor was moved down a bit, no block placement possible at all
  5. Cursor moved more to the left, now correct placement is possible

Pretty sure this is a duplicate of T758. Placing in new chunks (you're probably looking at a chunk border) can cause the block to appear non physical for your build mode stuff. Changing the camera rotation will hit the physical part and the game will then try to put it in the correct spot.

This should be easy to notice by placing 10-20 long lines on a new ship core. See if the same issue is occurring or not.

I made a test entity, one 50+ long line in the x-direction and one in the z-direction, without any problems. Then I added another line in the z-direction, which turned all blocks in a 9 block radius around the core unphysical. I don't see any relation to chunk borders, and the problem occured in a place that worked before, it's even the core chunk, so I don't think it's related to uninitialized chunks, at least not directly. Also, the extent of the unphysical part changes when adding more blocks.

It seems to depend mostly on camera orientation. Blocks only appear unphysical if the camera is rotated both around a vertical axis by +/- 45° or +/- 135° and around a horizontal axis by +/- 45° (like space diagonals in a cube). It doesn't have to be these exact angles, there's a range of about +/- 5°-10°. Also, there aren't any problems when looking from a side where nothing was added, yet. In other words, adding lines in the positive x-, y-, and z-direction only causes problems, when the camera also has positive x-,y- and z-coordinates, for example. Perhaps chunk initialization plays a role, but in a rather strange way.

A ship core starts with 3 x 3 x 3 chunks initialized if I remember correctly. That should be a 96 x 96 x 96 box with the ship core in the middle.
A single 50m long line wouldn't trigger new chunks since the area being used is already initialized. 100m would though.

How long were the lines you added per click? I tried 50m but can't trigger any of the initialization issues with it.

Also hold right shift while looking at a block in build mode. It will show you the block coordinates. Do this for the boundary were it goes from physical to non physical. Write that down in here.

I had no success trying out those angles btw, although the same angles do pose a problem with the map where faces go black.

I started with a 59 block line in +z, 53 blocks in +x and 53 blocks in +y direction, all with a single click. This should go beyond the 96 x 96 x 96 box, since 96 / 2 = 48 < 53. Then I added 53 block lines in -y and -z direction, again with a single click.

I made another test entity with 60 blocks in -x, +y and -z direction, but with only 10 blocks per click, and another one with the same dimensions and only one block per click. This doesn't make a difference.

The boundary between physical and non-physical blocks isn't always at the same position, it depends on camera position, and near the boundary some blocks are physical at one side, but not at the other. The outermost boundary position is indeed exactly at the chunk borders (assuming the central chunk goes from (0,0,0) to (31,31,31)), I didn't notice this at the time of my previous post. But this is only the case when looking at it from the other direction. For example, the boundary extends to y=0 only when the camera is looking down by at least ~10°, while it only extends to y=31 when the camera is looking up by at least ~10°. The horizontal angle still has to be roughly diagonal. It's the same for x- and z-direction.

I made another test entity. I could reproduce the issue with lines of just 3 blocks in 3 directions each. I removed the blocks next to the core so I can see it. It's just a small spot on the core that appears non-physical, but it grows as the entity's dimension get bigger.

Should have been fixed along the way.
