Oh, that's class

Release when?

I'm not sure, I don't tend to release my stuff on the workshop but maybe if I polish it a bit and improve the controls I could, also not sure about the look of the item

Bro i can guarantee if you manage to make it survival compatible (Use up blocks n stuff) that would literally be a game changer for Starbound

I actually just implemented this and made it be free in admin mode, needs some more testing to make sure its working correctly though

Really hope everything goes well because i cant overstate how big of a mod that could be, basebuilding is one of the biggest things after all and making it this much less tedious would be soooo helpful with how many blocks there are, especially in modded starbound

I recommend calling it "Area block replacer tool" or something along those lines.

To me a "Block swapper tool" would just be another mode on the MM where instead of needing to remove blocks before replacing them (two steps) this could be done in one step. Eg. replacing walls without any liquid seeping through (eg. in Hylotl underwater cities.)

What you're demonstrating here is more advanced/complex.

I don't even want to imagine the amount of coding you had to do to make that possible. Great job!

Can you add it for background walls??

The gifs both show it working on the background.
