Trying to place annoying structures

[@HorizonOfHope]

You forgot about how you accidentally place it in the wrong spot, hurriedly delete it and then realise you were only refunded half of the cost and have to save up again.

[@warmal8486]

Had a situation, not in survival but in rts, I've build building in wrong spot wated to destroy it and build in another and i accidently destroyed my mainbase building

[@Morbazan125]

Or games where you get nothing back

[@jamesward9482]

Not only do you get nothing back but it takes an hour of smashing it with spears to actually destroy it !

[@C2Talon]

My favorite is when placement needs to be so pixel perfect in a spot that clicking the mouse button is enough to move it outside the placeable area before the button is pressed enough to be registered.

[@wallacewallaby5782]

That's when you turn the mouse upside down and gently tap WASD to find the sweet spot before clicking. Good times.

[@lottievixen]

this is one massive plus to a trackball but still, excited fingers can mess you up xD

[@Qaeta]

Similar to a firearm, squeeze, don't press.

[@TushhsuT]

set the confirmation on a keyboard button :)

[@flithbrin]

Someone didn't figure out you can make a macro to spam click so you can just spam click while wildly flailing it back and forth and it WILL go down, it just might be inside a wall partially.

[@BobsUrUncle-m3m]

Bro so relatable... I HATE THAT FUCKING GREEN GLIMPSE OF PAIN.

This one wasn't that bad lmao. Not enough moving around, slowly tapping WASD, slow mouse movements... Reducing sensitivity lolololol

You'll only see it once and never again

It's even worse when it's only a visual glitch because it briefly didn't register whatever is blocking it

No, it would flash about 10 times while you move back and forth, and then it would disappear completely

That moment when you see it turn green for a fraction of a second so you end up spam clicking to place it as you slowly move your mouse around the tiny correct spot.

[@Meemo4269]

Now I understand why "pro" players simply build a structure in the middle of nowhere in the nature, with no roof, no floor, absolutely disorganized.

[@ultraphoenix95]

(In reality, we just don't know what we want to build but need a somewhat base because or inventory is limited. Then we never build because we will then have to move the storages and we are too lazy.)

[@sindrek8]

​​@@ultraphoenix95that last sentence.... so relatable 😂

[@blackking3270]

Oh i remember when i used to play rust with FG clan and i would always build a 2x2 starter and then im supposed to build main base when we get resources for it. Most of the time i would just build random rooms and floors on that 2x2 and never actualy build main base. We were 10-15 people cramped into 2x2 and i guess that was the reason they told me not to build ever again. 😂

[@HollowedPrince]

I hate/love how relatable this is XD

[@yonnel9571]

Very cool VFX!! It's super well made! Great job!

[@zORg_alex]

Nice tracking. Should be fun if he would wiggle it sideways to find this spot.

[@Joseph-e7f7z]

That quarter second of green has legit made me stop base building and search youtube and game forums for fixes. Fallout had this with fences. I don't want foot wide gaps in my perimeter. lol

[@zORg_alex]

My immediate reaction is, let's install a mood to disable fudging collision boxes in F4. Because without mods that game is an annoying mess.

[@Sigurther]

That kind of thing made me bonkers. Me: "Uh, hello? Trying to secure this base here." Game: "No. Anyway, it doesn't matter, I'ma spawn enemies inside your base regardless." Me: "WHAT." Game: "Yup. Oh, and if you aren't there, no matter how many settlers you have wearing power armor and gatling lasers or how many gun and missile turrets are installed, you'll loose the fight every single time." Me: "... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.."

Props to whoever did the special effects for this video. That shit looked awesome, genuinely curious how you did it.

[@Enjay001]

I'm really digging the slightly more gentle vibe of these survival game themed videos with the characters generally getting on and cooperating a bit more. I mean, all the other video settings/scenarios are great too (I love Bored, Epic NPC man etc etc), but I'm just saying that this is a nice change of pace.

[@CloudsHideTheSun]

At least he finally found a spot. I think the worst is struggling and struggling to find somewhere, finally finding a space, and then being told 'item must be placed within circle'. Well that's what I was trying to do!

[@michael_pilot]

This sketch gives me PTSD from multiple games... ❌

[@louiseljay]

Hilarious, but also really impressive editing with the generator. The movement and visual was super smooth!

[@fcold9402]

In my experience it should have taken him longer to target in on the green once he found it. Left green for nanosecond, right green for nanosecond, left, right, left, right, rotate item, left, right, left half rotate item...boom got it.

[@Fizzbann]

This is 100% accurate. Just needed Adam to pop up afterwards and inform you that you can tilt a certain way that allows the moons and stars to align so perfectly that it will allow you to place it closer.

A week later Ben goes back to his generator and finds it is the focal point of a survival game rave and there are dozens of players around it with colored lights hooked up and they're all dancing and his generator has become the "Circle of Truce" for the whole server so they can party.

There's a secret trick to getting around this in some games. Crank up the dpi on the mouse and rapidly move it around and keep clicking! (assuming the action button is mouse1...and if it isn't, then still wiggle the mouse around whilst spamming the action button)

[@justchiling22]

Absolutely relatable, and if we destroy it (whether by accident or to put it away temporarily) and try to place it again it just wouldn't want to be placed. Oh, and that little millisecond of green happens all the damn time, you were lucky that time, Ben! Realistically, we'll never be able to place it there no matter how much we click and spam all over it, because it technically isn't possible to place there and even if we aligned it exactly as it was when that millisecond of green appeared, it will never appear again.
