Okay, so the last thing that I want to show off today is another major change coming to the build system.
And that is a new feature called Zooping.
So what is Zooping?
So if we build...
Foundations.
We usually build them one by one, right?
But we've added Zooping as an optional build mode now.
So if you hold R, you can switch to Zoop.
And what Zoop does is it allows you to Zoop.
You can mass construct foundations.
Zoop.
There we are.
You can also Zoop with walls, for example.
Now, you can't Zoop with everything.
You can only zoop with walls and foundations.
You can't zoop constructors or manufacturing buildings and things like that.
You can only go up to 10 at a time, and you can only do it in one dimension.
So a lot of people are probably already commenting, this is smart mod, they're adding smart mod.
We're not adding smart mod.
Smart mod is a very popular mod that people use in Satisfactory.
It's like a building enhancement mod, gives you all the tools in the universe.
Yeah, so this is not that mod.
This is just limited to 10 pieces at a time,
just foundations and walls and some other sort of decorative things, only in one dimension.
Yeah, so for the longest time, we've sort of pushed back on any sort of mass construction.
We felt that the game didn't really need it, but we're now at a point where we feel, you know, a lot of people want it, and we sort of see
that there's actually a lot of good reasons to have even just this level of mass construction.
We think it'll go a long way, make a lot of people happy, make things a little easier, help out a lot of people with accessibility issues too.
Sometimes the clicking is a little bit too much physically for some people.
So we think that Zooping should
uh you know help the average player quite a bit so uh we're pretty excited to put this in the game to finally give it to y'all and i hope you're looking forward to um to using it honestly hopefully this will help you out a lot in the future if you think zooping will help you please leave a thanks jace helps a lot in the comments below so we know
