I wonder if the contact update broke something cause i could not get this to work in my Single player game.

Me yesterday, "We really need something that lets you carry small blocks around." Me today, "Oh. Nice."

I have tried both this and the other version but I can't get them to work. I am currently doing splitsie's Scrapyard scenario and I really want this to work. What should I do?

do i understand it correctly thta you did switch keybindings while in world?
from my past expereince that would be problematic as its not allways fully recognized without a restart of se, though i never did do keyrebinds outside of testing stuff out.
it might also be a conflict with another mod, some file corruption on game or modside or if you use plugins they migth also interfere.

i would suggest providing an exampelworld and logs for a deeper dive after checking for file corruption and mod conflict as well as if you use plugins to check without them in use.

nada, also i just project red like wich i can point to things but not grabbing even im stading next to it while afloat in the air and can see that the line goes right through the object, ofcourse all tested with few SB armor blocs and one 1cubic baterry. Im having scrips and all mod related settings up and no tools in hands. Also ive been so naughty that ive refuse to look up for G every time while building and ive switched it for R and than i remaped it again back and maped it to my side panel of my mouse. Its basicaly same so i dont see the problem. Also im playing local coop, does it matter if other players connects to, bsc we've seen some changes in working of WC while my friend connects. Like angle diviation etc so is it the same case? If possible can you hook this up to WeaponCore or ToolCore? It might solve instabilities and give you more space for more features.

this mod uses the same button that you use to reload a weapon. So try with that key.
And make sure to NOT hold any kind of tool or weapon when trying it

i cannot make it work. ive rebinded back buttons bcs i use R as G button if you know what i mean. So or so im just Homelander with laser sight and cannot interract with anything. Im running my game as server for my friends so after orginal havent worked we found out this version... whompy anyways
