[1.0.0] Can build but can't mine on world map

Post by Senki_Sem »

V 1.0.0-0, freeplay, 111+ hours, no mods, no cheats

I realized that I can zoom to my character on world map and regular building rules applies. I can build in a certain distance by hand. But I can't mine/pick/remove.
This is definitely not a bug but I thought it is worthy to mention.

Test your right mouse button and check your key bindings. Maybe something is changed?
Edit: oops I missed that you are in map view. Return to standard view to build and mine.

In map view, you can't do everything like in normal mode.
Probably, building is allowed, because you also can place ghosts from map view.

It was not by purpose, I just realized (after 1000+ hours in game) that I can build on map view as usual.
My point is that if I can build, why I can't mine/pick up dropped item/remove built things?

I know. But you can also use destruction planner. So why you can't deconstruct by hand? It is not logical.

Ah, I got you. Map mode is god mode.You get to use the force instead of your pickaxe.

The issue was classified by the devs as "not a bug", so it's working as intended.
You can create a thread in ideas & suggestions viewforum.php?f=6, if you think that should change.

Personally, I don't mind this behaviour, as it just remind me, that I'm still in map mode. Maybe a warning could appear or it could just mine it in reach distance. There's not much gain in that IMO.
