Etched, if you care enough to make me a believer, I'll take a wager. I'll give one of your alts base editing ability for my base and trust that you won't just trash it. If you can accurately place upside down coffe cups on 10 items in my work area in 1 minute, 6 seconds per object, I will bow in awe to your base editing skill and give you 100 mil inf, which is a lot for me because I'm pretty new and the only reason I have that much is the mapserver event. If you fail or mess up other stuff, you give me 100 mil.
So to prove that I can lay down an item in 3 seconds I have to manipulate 10 coffee cups that are at ten different locations which are probably hundreds of feet apart within 60 seconds?
Are you tripping? I would love to know anyone that can do that. Lol
How bout this as a bet, I'll give you one billion inf if I am unable to place an item under 3 seconds and if I am able then you give me your base.
That is pretty reasonable. Right? One item for one billion inf or you give me your base.
Honestly, I think that is a hell of a lot for something you claim that I can't do.

First off, I was offering help when the OP brought it up unwarranted. It had not a thing to do with the post. Did i say anything about how fast the OP should be doin it? I dont see it in my post but yet it was mentioned. What was the point of it? Did it effect their water level? I doubt it. So I have a right to defend myself. Honestly, wouldn't you?
Secondly, I'm not sure where settin complex pieces come from what I said? Since all I said was "I can set an object in 3 seconds". To set an object in 3 seconds, that's it. I didn't say complex maneuvering. Just to place an item.
But you assumed that I meant something I never once said because after all, all I said was to set an item in 3 seconds.

Really? You should take a stroll through some of my bases as well because you are preaching to the choir. I haven't done a simple base since Club7, which was the only SG that wanted an interior base.
Anyhow, always fun to have a chat with you Zacking. im sure ill say something that will offend you in a few days.

And Etched if you are talking about my reference to the post about doing something in 3 seconds, yeah I'm not a believer. It's absurd to think that you could do anything safely in 3 seconds in the editor.
Because you can't do it therefore no one else should be able to do it? That is extremely closed minded. I'm sure Jordan or LeBron was told they can't score a ton of points within a game and they proved people wrong.
As a mason for 30+years I had no choice but to learn how to do my job as quickly as possible and I wasn't even the fastest but I learned the ins and outs to keep up with the faster brick layers.
Editing bases is really no different then layin brick, block, or stone. One on top of two.
So I took what I know about buildin and transfered that knowledge to bases. Then I practiced a lot and then I practiced more.
I'll agree that manipulating an item takes a few seconds more then just slapping a piece down but not much longer. Simply because I already know how it's goin to look and I know what I have to do to get it there. I don't second guess myself because I have done too many times before nor do I have doubt about the editor because I have learned how to work around it.
I didn't come on to your post callin you a liar about your issues, I came onto your post to help YOU figure out why you are havin problems.
I stand by what I said because I know I can do it.

Simplest of bases... lol
You are welcome to take a stroll through some of my simple bases that I've done.
Rogue-30559 On Everlast
Ideals, Ideals-30956 on Everlast
Club-27052 on Excel
Sloppy-13062
I could list more but I feel the point is made.
You are welcomed to watch as I work, I am primarily on Torch.

Could the Grid Size be a factor? The water could be set to 4 and when placing a different item changed it to a lower number, like 1/2 or 1/4. Then possibly clicked the water accidentally which changing the height of the water?
Or someone else in the SG that has edit permission just didn't like how high the water was and changed it without tellin the OP.
-
Maybe this is just me but I thought brutes had a standin title of Veng Bait. Has this changed or are they still veng bait?
Now on a serious note.
The way brutes are currently I have a better chance on my blaster.

You have to check "Remember Username" in the login screen.
For the life of me I missed this when you posted. So I owe you a enormous Thank You.
I honestly thought you were bat shit crazy. The check no that has been on since I started playing. Today I was logging in and I noticed that it was unchecked. Once I checked it the toon plus the corruptor I made this mornin were exactly where I left them.🙃
Not exactly sure how it got turned off. I guess on the last maintenance?
Thank you for the help.

The only thing I can add is that if it is such a pain in the ass to use, why are there so many base builders?
When people bash the Editor then that is goin to discourage future players to even try it when all they read is how much of a PITA it is.
So yes, I will stick with what I said before.
Base buildin is not a hassle.

The "Hassle" reference was actually pointed towards Monty.
I would guess neither of you built bases during Live/Legacy . That was the biggest PITAs you would ever experience. Stacking desk repeatedly and then placing a floor tile to place items. Wasn't any useful keys like F1, F2, F3, or F5 keys or Alt to rotate items or being stuck to just build within the base.
Now we can build worlds.
Bases now are simple to work, all you need to do is remember a handful of Hot Keys and you can basically do anything you imagination will allow.
Ask any builder and the one thing you'll ever truly need is TIME. That is it. Time to learn how everything works and then puttin them together to make a great base.
Once Snarky learns how things function with the base he'll make something truly awesome.

You have to check "Remember Username" in the login screen. If you don't, playerslot.txt doesn't save. (If using multiple accounts, takes a second to delete the username and type an alt login.)
If you have, the file has likely been corrupted. Deleting it should clear it up.
Whatl are you talkin about? This is the same account that I have been using for years. This has nothing to do with Loggin in into the game, this has to do with my toon will not stay where I place it.
I can place it on page 5 in the middle of six toons and when I log out from playin a different toon that toon will be back on the first page and the toons on page six will be in the same slots as if i never moved the new tank. It always go back to the fist empty slot on page one.

8. If you have never ran or been so long you might as well never ran a TF/SF/Trial, then tell the lead/team/league.

This really isn't that big of a hassle. Once you set a Floor Tile or Glass Floorin just set a second one exactly on top of the original and use Alt+Shift or Alt+Ctrl to flip it on its axis. Now it will have the same texture on both sides. This takes all of 3 seconds to accomplish.
As far as the Editor Helper tiles one is transparent once you exit the edit mode and the other is a solid surface.

I made a new tank a few days ago and any time I move it and log in with a different toon, everything will reset and the new toon is back on page 1 and all the other toons will move back to their original place. Tried this with a different new toon and it does the same thing.
I like to keep my ATs grouped together so this is really messing with my OCD.
I deleted both toons and remade the tank and it is still happening. Would love some help with this.
Thanks in advance,

However, I must have missed the patch note of the new pass-through ceiling addition.
You are not the only one. I just stumbled onto it while i was doin a base. However, i know it's been out for a few months.

Apparently a lot of ppl have not messed with the base editor or did so sooo long ago that they do not realize what you can do to it NOW.
As someone that builds bases and tinker in the base editor more then some ppl play the game, I know what I am doin. If I didn't then I would not get recommended by Dacy to build bases for other ppl.
With each new Issue the devs put out stuff for the base just as well as powers or costumes. The NEW OPEN CEILINl, IS CALLED A PASS-THROUGH CEILIN WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL PLOT AND BUILD UPWARDS AND STILL BE ABLE TO FLY AS HIGH AS THE BASE BOUNDARIES, WHICH IS NOT THE OLD BASE CEILIN HEIGHT.
If you do not trust what I say, ask Dacy so she can explain the same thing that I just did.
Dedicated Base Builder
Check this base I made just for this post. Base is on Excel code is Etched-30725

Once the ceilin is open you can build upwards until the sun burns your bones. YOU DO NOT NEED TO MOVE YOUR PORTAL. It will work like if you are in, on top, or below the base.
This is not the old open ceilin. That limits home far you can move upwards.
Which is why it's called a pass through ceilin.
@Snarky, build your base. It'll do exactly what you want it to do. If it don't I'll build your base for free.

To remove the ceilin:
Once you are in edit mode you'll need to remove the the ceilin with the Object/Room Selected box. After that you go into Pick Style, High Ceilings. Then choose Open Sky Pass-through.
Once you have done that choose Apply Room Style to Base.
And then you are done.

Thanks for the info. This is a desktop pc so I may have it wrong. Regardless, 80 bucks for a brand new pc isn't bad. I've priced out a hard drive already and is in the mail. Shame I don't get to use it. Wife has already claimed it for her photography stuff.

Water level in base keeps going down
in Base Construction
Posted · Edited by Etched
Thank you for proving my point. You realize that just placing a single piece only takes 3 seconds like I said. This is why you keep makin it a complex maneuver and not just place an item like I said. So now I have to jump through hoops while juggling a chainsaw and place the item half a mile from where the item needs to be place. Really?
You are doin the best you can to save face and doin it poorly. Because you know I'm right. I just really want to know where I said that I can place an item and turn it upside-down or any other maneuvering within 3 seconds?
It's funny that people take a single statement and twist it into what they want it to mean but not what really was said. Do you even know what Snarky was tryin to move and place? Probably not.
I may be confident in what i can do but I'm not stupid. I know what you are askin me to do would take longer than 3 seconds. Especially since I have to move myself hundreds of yards into position grab the item and place it exactly perfect within 3 seconds. Would you want me to climb a mountain while I did this too?
So, if you would like to see me place an item, any item within 3 seconds, no maneuvering just place an item, as I said not what you twisted it into. My base is always open.
@Etched
Ok, I take that back. I reread the original post that Snarky posted and I did mention flippin a piece of glass flooring on top of another. Which would include maneuvering the item on its axis.
I apologize for my arrogance. For me, I could do that when I was ready to place the item but i understand not everyone is me. You got me, Elfis. Good job.
