A way to "build by plane" like in starforge.

There would be nice to have a option on advanced build like there is in other similar games like starforge.
Like the one in starforge where when you hold the mouse button on a face you can drag it into any direction "continuing" the face to any side, it helps and improve a lot building ships and its very easy to implement.

Would you mind clarifying? I really don't understand what you're trying to explain. An image would help, perhaps.

Its hard to explain... Look at this video : At 1:35 the player starts to build a floor just draging the mouse arround, I remember it helps so much on building that it would be great to have it on starmade, and its so easy to implement.
[DOUBLEPOST=1432162941,1432162708][/DOUBLEPOST]I will try to explain, when an block is selected, if you click and hold the mouse and drag arround it would extend the selected face... I dont know if its clear now...

well we have advanced build mode which allows you to place down dozens if not hundreds of blocks at once. placing blocks by holding you mouse seems a bit redundant but I can see where it would be useful.

More or less just sounds like a faster-to-use version of our build mode area sliders. Could be useful if you want to build faster, the sliders can be fumble-y when using a high enough setting for them I found. But if we are gonna do that in SM, why not allow it to be done in a 3D way with the 3rd dimension?

Advanced build mode definitely needs a revamp. I'm not at all satisfied with the selection tools. I've learned to live with them but eh. They're functional but they need a lot of work to make them more user friendly.

Yep, I think that being able to click the bounding blocks would already be a major improvement. So basically press tab (or something) and click two blocks in order to create a selection box with those blocks in opposing corners.
