Platforms are difficult!

Oh I was using the wrong button. Don't mind me :)

It is kind of difficult. I’m trying to do the lowered entrance and it’s not working how I thought it would lol


Edit: I figured it out and now I feel dumb haha

Oh... it was released already??? I thought it was next week - been out of town and mostly offline for a couple weeks, lol.

Just the patch, not the EP, today.

Platforms confused me until I realized I was using the platform arrow instead of the new up and down arrows to raise the platform!!! Just some friendly advice! lol

I'm getting some problems. The roof isn't drawing fully on a house with a platform, and the ladders are refusing to place saying the top must be on a block or terrain. I dare say I'll work it all out eventually

I was trying to convert this rather awkward looking area into platforms coming from either side, stepping down to meet in the middle, but I don't think it's possible:

You cannot place them next to each other if they are on different floor levels - you get the usual block cluster error. And if you lower the platforms on the higher level, they keep their edges at the original height.

Shame :'(

You just click the top and select add ceiling

One long platform connecting and then two smaller platforms on top on both sides.

If you do one platform reaching from one side to the other it instantly sets at the current floor height (rather than the grass height), then there is no way to lower it towards the grass height because the sides stay up.

What I was trying to do was use platforms instead of stairs to get down to the ground.

The first posts in this thread are so funny haha

Thanks for the input tho, I probably would have done the same mistake!
