Shift drop with carried objects

[Delamore]

Reverse it so normal drops drops to the grid while shift drop drops to the pixel, this makes life so much easier for newbies.

Why is dropping to the grid such an important feature?

My instinctive reaction is that more organised should need more effort, but is there anything apart from aesthetic driving the need for grid alignment?

No I disagree. I frequently move boats when doing large quantity trades. Boats have this huge fuckall bounding box that makes no fucking sense. Make it a bitch to drop. You anal retentive types can press shit. Not my fault your robot army is a bunch of slobs

It in general makes things easier for people to use, I've currently got 10 or so newbies running around and I don't need another terrible interface thing that goes against what the rest of the system uses (Built objects are built on the grid unless you hold shift to build on the pixel) to explain to them over and over because it's counter intuitive

i agree with dela

[Jackard]

Sure. Anything to make the interface more uniform or intuitive should be good.

I like it, and I have one thing to add: while holding shift and carrying an object, a ghost of the object should appear where your mouse is, so you can see where exactly you will put down the object when you right-click. I tend to pick up and put down chests half a dozen times before I get them just right.

Seconded.

This I can support.
