1 year ago Technically, it's completely possible to do this now with .Lua, especially now that we have a command for cloning an object, so a player can never run out of materials/pieces to build with. It's just a matter of getting the behavior(s) and assets made for it!

In Broadcast 142 the topic of base building (the ability to create a unique structure in game using parts such as walls, floors, furniture, etc.) came up again and Lee's response was that it seemed like more of a multi-player feature than anything one might see in a single player game. Here is a short list of games (there are probably many more) that include this feature and are (or can be played as) first person single player games:
Fallout 4 Stranded Deep Grounded Subsistence Heat The Forest Satisfactory
My point is this is an essential aspect of a sub-set of the RPG genre known as the survival genre. All of the other typical elements of the survival games are included in max in one form or another or can be easily scripted, so this one feature would enable an entire sub-genre for GGM. Therefore I suggest that this feature be added independent of whether multi-player is ready to be added as well. While these two are often found together, they are not co-dependent.
