Drag Build

Hold left click and drag: frames, walls, floors, cables and pipes as a line, area, outline, box or whole room – with a preview and the rules of a single build.

v1.0.0 Client Stable Stationeers 0.2.6428.27798
Drag Build

Stop placing frames, walls, floors, windows, cables and pipes one by one: hold left click and drag, and all parts appear when you release. A short click still builds exactly one part – normal building is unchanged.

Shapes

  • Line, area, outline, box and room, cycled with Z, the height of box and room with the mouse wheel.
  • For outline and room the walls stand around the dragged floor area, the room gets a floor and a ceiling.
  • Works for every normally placeable part, also from other mods.

Preview: every part is shown as a box first – green will be built, red is not possible, orange lacks material. At the cursor you see size, count, material and the reason for the first red part.

Rules of a single build: every part is checked like a single click and uses just as much. With the Authoring Tool and with Creative Mode+ nothing is used up. Count, distance and height per drag are limited and configurable.

Multiplayer: players without the mod may join, only whoever wants to drag needs it. If the server has Drag Build, it checks every drag itself: kit, material, reach, count and build rules. Without the server mod every part goes to the server as a normal build message, like a click.

All texts appear in German or English, depending on the game language. No new items, nothing in the save.

Frequently asked

Does Drag Build change normal building?

No. A short click builds exactly one part as always; even the start part of a drag is built by the game itself on press. Dragging only starts when you hold the button and the cursor moves to another cell. On release the remaining parts are added. Right click or Esc cancels, Z changes the shape. More in the guide.

Does the server need Drag Build, and can it be used to cheat?

Players without the mod may join; only whoever wants to drag needs it. If the server has Drag Build, it checks every drag itself: kit in hand, material per part, reach, count and the game's build rules. It does not rely on anything the player claims. Without the server mod, Drag Build sends the game's normal build message per part, so nothing that wouldn't work click by click. Server owners can switch dragging off with MitspielerErlaubt and limit it with MaxTeile and MaxAbstandMeter.
