lius1 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hi, I have been using online voxelizer and trying to port 3D models. The problem I am having is when the ship has lot of voxels, the game becomes very unstable and any kind of editing is a nightmare. Is there a some kind of a automatic tool I can use which will identify all the blocks which can be merged and merge them? So you could have great details without extra unnecessary complexity.

lius1 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Well this post was not necessary. ;D You can just select the whole ship, click merge and it works! I thought it only merges selected only if all selected form a rectangle. And here I was planning if I would have time to make it, haha. Great job devs!

Perq Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Ok what... How does it work, exactly? Does it mean I can just merge my ship at the end of the process so that everything that can be merged will be merged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Exactly, all blocks that can be merged will be merged when you select the whole ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cahotage Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Is there a benefit other than looks to merging all the like blocks on your ship that can be merged? Just curious. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relliker Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The only benefit I can find for merging is when building cargo bays. According to the specs for cargo blocks, there is an unusable wall thickness of 2.5m for each individual block. Merging tells the game it is one block instead of multiple blocks. ( source cited at bottom ) I found this has giant net effects when building factories. I tried this with other blocks like hanger, engine, and crew quarters to no avail If anyone knows of any please let me know. cargo bay source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yes indeed, cargo blocks scale in a weird way. I think it happens with computer cores aswell but I'm not sure about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
