Move Altar After Placing

Yes, very important, especially for the players who love to build... so for many many players. At the beginning we don't know exactly how we will build and it could be that we have to change the place of the flame altar.

Would be nice to have the option to move the flame altar, within the build area after it has been placed. Having to extinguish it and place a different one is quite the hassle, especially if you've already built a lot and decide you don't like its placing after the fact.

As simple as it sounds, Make the first Flame altar determine the radius of your building area but then allow for the flame altar itself to be moved without destroying or building a new one

Let us move the Flame Altar after it was originally placed, without having to destroy and rebuild it. So it would be easier to build the base around it in difficult terrain, since now it just stays locked in place.

We placed our flame shrine down, and before any of us realized there was an undo button we continued building. Now our flame protected area is locked and we can't move it. We would simply like the ability to pick up and move the shrine so we are not forced to destroy entire buildings we created just to make sure they are in bounds of the flame protected area.

Having the option to Pickup and move a flame altar instead of just extinguishing them and losing the levels of the altar. Since upgrading my altar to level 4, it is now not in a good spot and would like to move it a little big in my base. I know I can just make a new one and level the one up but that requires more farming to level it up. I just want to move it so its in a better spot for my current base size.

It should be possible to move your upgraded Flame Altar, so like in your first playthrough its likely to missplace it, and it would be a nice QoL improvement to move the altar without extinguishing it and lose the progress you made.

this is especialy good idea since when you are placing new altar you only see the buildable area of lvl 1 altar, so if you want to claim large ammount of space and connect 2 altars so they are edge to edge in terms of the buiLdable area its near impossible

i guess being able to craft and place already upgraded altar to be able to see the larger build areas is also an option but new feedback is disabled so ...

Absolutely in agreement with moving the flame altar without extinguishing and losing altar upgrades. Sometimes a build design doesn't really focus until you're 70% through it and that sucks :)

This needs more votes, I find the altar being unmoveable and in the center incredibly annoying when building.

I would like to add onto this one, along with being able to move the flame alter. Being able to rotate it other than 90 degrees. I found a really cool cave to build in but the alter only places in such a manner that the corner is facing the cave entrance. I need to be able to rotate 45 degrees but for some reason it's one of the only things you can't rotate with the mouse wheel.

YES PLEASE! I also wish that you could dismantle your base and move it elsewhere. I only need one upgraded base, but it would be nice to be able to move it.

yea being able to pickup altars would make things easier and more logical in my opinion

it would be lovely to move them cause u cant see the building radius beforehand on the max level .-. u build the altar then u max it and then its slightly off to teh other altar c,c

my first alter upgraded is two blocks to close to the stairs with the chest in the fort, cannot build there sadly. now i gotta destroy the whole thing, move all resources to another alter area and replace the alter and renew the lost resources just for a two block placement. Rabbits stuck in the ground too stop building

It would be nice if we could move Flamealtars. Especially when u try to connect more then 1 to create a big Area. to Refarm the mats to max upgrade a new Flamealtar is really annoying

After placing an alter for building area zones, allow us to reposition the Flame Alter within the build zone without adjusting the build zone itself.

It would be nice to move an existing upgraded alter without losing all the upgrades done to that alter. It's just a pain to have to go and re-gather all the mats to upgrade a second alter, especially if all you really want to do is move the first one.

i agree with moving the altars should keep the upgrades, and thing a system similar to V-Rising would be cool? so when you move, you get the option of bringing over all the structures etc from your old base (landscape permitting) so you don't need to completely build everything from scratch again.

Be able to Move your flame location.
I want to be able to use the most of space out of it.
i've place a flame near a town i'm rebuilding i would hate to have my hard work and items disappear only because i misjudge the placement or need to move it a little to the left.
It will be helpful to have a setting in the flame(altar) where we're able to move it at least every 15 / 30mints or Hour..

It needs to be able to change the buildable area, too; otherwise, why bother?

The moving of Altars would be a feature best used in huge multi-Altar bases, where the altars need to be constantly moved to find out the best layout for buildable area coverage.

Here is my example, https://imgur.com/a/zvImjXK (some of the altars are on the top, some are on the inside of the Inner Sanctum). You need to align the altars to cover the upper areas to cover all the space while using a minimal number of Altars. AND you also need to align them height-wise so you can smoothly build from the bottom/inside of the mountain to the top without having gaps in the buildable areas.

If the moving of Altars feature could not move the buildable area with it, then it would be mostly pointless, and we would still need to waste huge amounts of flames just to get this working.

Hi, More than being able to move Altars only, I think it is better to think an overall improvement and QoL upgrades to the Altar system, which I find interesting.
I propose for one, that we should have Altar level 5 available with a 200x200x200 capacity once we unlock Flame level 6.
I love building and I need more space. We should be able to craft Altars of our current altar level, so for instance if I already have Altar level 2, then I can craft an Level 2 Altar right away, crafting this secondary altar from that level, should become a resource sink.

Altar 1, 40x40x40, 5 Stone, 0 Shroud Core, 0 Sparks, Flame 1
Altar 2, 80x80x80, 5 Stone, 10 Copper Bars, 1 Shroud Core, 2 Sparks, Flame 1 and Altar 2
Altar 3, 120x120x120, 5 Stone, 10 Bronze Bars, 5 Shroud Core, 4 Sparks, Flame 2 and Altar 3
Altar 4, 160x160x160, 5 Stone, 10 Iron Bars, 10 Shroud Core, 8 Sparks, Flame 3 and Altar 4
Altar 5, 200x200x200, 5 Stone, 10 Steel Bars, 20 Shroud Core, 10 Sparks, Flame 6 and Altar 5

Following on my previous post, sorry idea was bigger than char limit. We should be able to upgrade already placed Altars as we usually do, and Altar level 5 should upgrade from a level 4 with 20-40ish Shroud cores. The other high level crafted Altars can only be created within the boundaries of an Altar and at the workbench table and limited to the that altar's level. If my main base altar is level 4, I can only make level 4 altars there, if a satellite altar has level 3, then it is limited to level 3 and so on.

Just... THIS!!!

This needs to be a thing. I often have to build around my Flame because I cant move it to a more practical or appealing spot! I hate that I cant mke it into a real shrine or spectacle to behold or even it's own room!

I would suggest coding a choice when accessing the flame.
1. Move base area (confines/yellow lines/where you can build. Reposition the build area around where the Flame is placed/within the Flame area, so you can plan your builds around the terrain where you originally placed the Flame... and make up for wasted space like when the yellow line goes off a cliff)
2. Move Flame altar (So you can reposition the Altar ITSELF, but leaving the build area intact and where it was originally.)
