cheaper solution is old MMO expandable slotbar, then allow to add toggles to it

you do know you can cycle through 5 hotbars with (I believe) alt+1,2,3,4,5? In vanilla, since like... always?

Bad camera, bounding boxes for placing objects, the ability to hide flavor objects/trees, gridline mode for mining and placing objects and a moveable + resizable minimap with player indicators are what I consider to be core features that make the game playable in the long-term. I don't care about disabling day/night effects at all, and in some cases, I prefer it turned on.

food for thought -

if you implement all these features that totally destroy the heart and soul of your game and go against the grain of everything you believe in as a devout wholesome christian game developer as tools for a "build mode," and 99% of your playerbase accidentally play the entire game with "build mode" on, maybe you will be able to sleep better.

Just a friendly prompt for concerned individuals to research for themselves the dramas which unfolded for the developers of Project Zomboid when they "appropriated" user created content.

It's a tricky path to walk and not as simple as just implementing other peoples work.

You will need gridlines at least and I'll concede that you can access them by placing a Land Survey.

Also some objects aren't showing clearly how big their hitbox is going to be, other than placing down a sign and looking at the construction thingy.

Blizzard has been doing this since at least WotLK for WoW when it comes to "popular mods."
