Unusable when far away from center
When player is near 20k+ away from the word origin like GPS:EarthLike (113 km):14877599:-17572124:20023365:#4020FFB0: accuracy of point of holding (should be at coursor location) is so low that distances between next point of holding might be over a meter (even of coursor is not moving). Picked grid "jumps" between locations and it's imposible to controll it. Grid pickup mod has the same issue.

I guess it is because of the float variables. which get more and more unpercise the larger the numbers are.

I think you right. Unity game engine has same issue, after crossing 100k meters, whole phisics system is messed up. I don't know how Keen make plaing on such high coordinates possible. This issue is propably not high priority tho. How many players put planets so far from ceneter :steamhappy: I think not so many... Mod works well on regular words.

Maybe I could just splitt the position into 2 parts. Large + Percise where Large would be an int and Percise a float.

For that I would "just" have to remove the large numbers and save them in a int. Do all calculations for the mod as if you are close to world center and then add the int again.

I don't know tho if that would work and how much work it would be xD

Ok I have tested it with the new version and everything up to now still works at ~38000km away from center. Don't know what I did different but hey i won't complain. But I still have to add a bit before I can release it
