Move Altar After Placing

711 votes

Hi,

Would appreciate if there was a chance after you placed your altar to offset it within your set building radius now. So for example if i placed the altar down to have my area set, then i could move it within the now fixed building area...
So the building area stays the same but i can have the altar off centered.

think it would be great for creative possibilities

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
