Line and circle tools for Build Helper

[Planr]

Line and circle tools for the new build helper in adv build mode would help a LOT! Please add these, Schema!

There is a circle tool in the build mode, it just doesnt work

As far as I understood it would eventually be possible to have mods for this.

that is not relevant. i want this to be a default feature, and there's no reason why it shouldn't be.

There is a circle tool and it works quite well...
Although a tool for making slopes (in lines) would be very useful.

there is a sphere tool, but it lags a lot at larger dimensions. a circle tool could be used to create larger circular objects without the build helper lagging the game by having to use a sphere tool.

also, the line tool would naturally be able to be as long in any direction or angle as needed. it could be used to make slopes, or sharp angles. i mean, it's not like you actually thought i meant lines as in a tool that can only be used straight in any cardinal direction, right?

Seconding, since I've wanted this even before we got the helpers. I think realistically we will get it at some point. I used to use a Ti-83 to calculate slopes, that gets super tedious when dealing with multiple slopes. I think StarMade is more than capable of doing what my obsolete calculator can do.

Current tool in dev is ellipsoid/sphere, torus, and circle. Torus and circle may be rotated on x y z axis by 360 points. Line is oddly not included.

But why would you need a line if you could just use advanced build mode to extend your brush in the x, y and z directions?

how do those things even remotely relate?

 

[FunnyBunny14]

Never mind. I thought you meant a line in the x, y or z direction. But I just realised that you want lines to go diagonally too, so yeah, forget I ever said that.
