The 'placement' hologram with pickaxe enabled ....
The Grand Dad
While using pickaxe as soon as you pick up what your mining, the 'placement' hologram ghost appears and is a huge distraction splotch on the screen and nobody in my group wants to mine because if it, so it would be great to be able to turn it off/on by hot key or maybe in the world settings.
Having the hologram 100% of the time on the screen (while carrying resource) for less than 5% use, does not add up. The only time it would be used is to stack up resource in the wild if you dont have stockpile space or dont want build more stockpiles, or someone wants to stack up resource in the wild without it counting as trash/junk/waste.
To sum up, it needs to be able to be turned off/on and keep this for those who use it, we use the wheelbarrow.
Alternate suggestion to a hot key or check box - same improvement
Maybe use the tool we already have to build or place something ...is that what the hammer is for ?? as of the writing of this, while carrying a stack or bundle and having the hammer enabled, the left mouse button will attempt to pick up and give message of not enough room to do so, maybe if the right button is available...place single or whole carry somehow...
Thanks

Well, it has been nearly two years since I played as our group votes for other games mainly due to not wanting to stare these ghosts during play, but like ECO and trying the lone wolf thing today, it looks like its not just with the pickaxe, mining is one of the first things I do...so as everone knows when ever you are carrying, the hologram ghost appears no matter what tool you have, also it seems the opacity is stronger than ever. I cant find a way to fade it to zero or turn it off. I also tried the alt U to turn off all user interface but it is still there, stronger more solid, stronger glowing, than I remember and using the alt U places a single of whatever you are carrying and the ghost remains on screen...wait...what...
looks like the ghosts are still in the machine even tho the ghost improvement suggestion was closed out....maybe it was something different than what I am seeing..
so, the suggestion stands but since it seems global, lets bend the suggestion to maybe an opacity slider so those of us who dont want to see it or place things with any tool can at least fade it to out to zero or what ever looks good on our monitor
I am only suggesting what seems to fit the 'world settings' interface direction, like you have a tranparency slider for chat opacity already, just please give us something so I can convince our group to come back to ECO and add it to our rotation
