How to delete multiple blocks:

I am dumb, don't be me

Comments

How to delete multiple blocks:

1. klick "Q" to select weird stick
2. klick and drag to select blocks you want (also great to count blocks when building)
3. klick "DEL" or "delete" on keyboard to delete all.

I am dumb, don't be me

I searched google for how to do this and could not find anything, so I thought this feature does not exist and spend hours manually deleting all blocks of a ship I built.

Doing it via "CTRL" + "right mouse" is tedious and spam clicking caused me to delete a bunch of blocks a mile away I did not wish to delete.

After hours and hours I accidentally found this weird stick and felt like an idiot. Dev if you read this please make it clearer so that people like me learn this sooner, thanks:D

Actually, I think when you 'delete' things using the delete key method, it sends the items to an infinite storage space called 'Recycleables'. You can see it when you go to place your block if there's a little recycling symbol with a number, that shows how many of the item you're about to place that you have in 'recycling'. You can view everything you have in 'Recycling' by going to your Inventory and looking in the bottom left corner.

To delete is to destroy your resources. You should be aware of that!
