    So, obviously for people building overly sized ships and filling them to the brim, 10 blocks at a time is a bit too time consuming (and yeah, I use symmetry mode), especially considering i'm lazy. So I'm wondering if there were any ways, whether by editing, or any mods that'll allow you to place more then 10 blocks at once in advanced building.

    For a ship that's almost 585m long, placing power tanks, and generators all in lines on top of each other is a bit time consuming, cause i'm lazy.

    Look in the server.cfg file. There should be an entry in there to set how many blocks you can place at once. Our server is set to 20, but it will cause a little client side lag when you're working in 3 symmetries and place 64,000 blocks at once.

    PLAYER_MAX_BUILD_AREA = 10 //max area a player may add/remove in adv. build mode

    For starters, you can place boxes of 10x10x10. And yes, that's how everyone did it up until 0.158...

    But now you can extend that with the method stated above.

    Third party tools can get you over the set limit (on SP and on MP). Just look for one.

    But you can also adjust the config files.

    Aka: cheat-engine, bad idea.

    Good to know. This was one reason why I didnt like building big ships, cus even with symmetry, it would take forever to fill in areas.
