Deploying boxes fix for Mechanics - Jerkops - 10-18-2013
It's been bugging me for a while but I've played mechanic a little more lately and it seems like the popup window for deploying new objects is at the wrong step in the process.
The popup appears when you assemble the completed frame and all of its parts into the box. But why does this step need a popup? If the frame is incorrectly assembled, it won't successfully create the box. If it is correctly assembled, the box appears in your hand and can still be moved around.
In my opinion, the final step is the one that needs a popup window to confirm that the object is deployed in the right place. Maybe it's the lag I've been having lately, but sometimes I accidently click the box with my soldering iron instead of an empty hand. This deploys the box even if it's on the ground or in your backpack, and of course if you've deployed a heavy object, it can't be moved after that.
