The shape selector the Pimps had me so excited about? MM talked about it a lot in his vids and on the forums , along with the paint tool. Then it never came, and as far as I'm aware , they never mentioned it again .

Did I miss an update somewhere where they dropped the feature? I read all the stuff about dropping the behemoth and zip lines , but never saw a mention of this feature being dropped , or if its still being worked on.

I hope its still coming ( or was it implemented and I'm just missing it?) would be wonderful to just build the basic frame and select its shape after crafting .

 
IMHO, if this ever comes into fruition, it will be a big game changer. Similar to the new buff/perk system, i predict it's going to revolutionize the game (if it gets implemented in the manner i describe).

Now we have let's say (making up numbers) 10 material blocks and each has like 40 variations, which makes a total of 400 seperate block-ids taken up. If we update so that the shape is considered a parameter of a block, then we would have only 10 block-ids taken. This would allow many new materials to be incorporated into the game quite easily.

Crafting you say? Table Saw introduced in A17, so there won't definitely be a shape chooser? I don't see a problem here. Recipes would use full blocks to generate specific shapes (so the same block but with different "shape" parameter) and could also crate them in a manner of 1 full block = 2 half blocks (if wanted). You would be able to only craft full blocks to compensate this. New stations could be added to craft different shapes of flagstone/concrete/brick/metal blocks or simply build different shapes as usual. Even upgrades would be self explanatory with the shapes being retained.

On the other hand, how this looks from the coding perspective... IT"S BIG. Which is why i don't expect such a change to occur, but it would be really a great one.
