My prayer of hope and salvation.

1 Unable to fly most of the time.
2 Placing an item. Then never able to select it again. No matter what, in and out of WRK, restarting, etc.
3 2% of the time it goes to a sunny day. Needs to be switchable though. Sometimes I need to see what it looks like at night. For lighting effects.
4 Items being shown. But pressing the up arrow and nothing happens. Item won't select.

Freddrick: I can confirm item 2 within the WRK. &
The thing I would like to see in the WRK is a better organization system.

Me. Being able to select a few items and move them.
A summary of the different plot types and all the plots for that type.

I hope others will post and add to this list.

That's due to script lag I think, and flying is from Workshop Plus.

What item are you placing? I know that some items from Wasteland Reconstruction Kit like visual and sound effects can't be selected. They are meant to be placed once at a specific spot. You can always delete it with console commands (or maybe the Extra selection from Place Everywhere).

2% of the time it goes to a sunny day.
You could use the "force weather" command like KG does (many times) in his playthrough. Here's a guide.
 
Unable to fly... I can go in build mode and be able to fly. Exit out and back in then not be able to fly no matter how many times I go in and out of build mode. That needs to be fixed regardless of where it comes from. Or the other way around.

If its script lag, then have a pop up while in build mode... "Hey moron you've overloaded your computer again... step away slowly from the keyboard." Or something like that! You smart people know what's going on. But SS was made for people like me that doesn't know anything. How are we supposed to know what the problem is without SS telling us?

Placing an item... Can be anything, normally smaller items. Not buildings and such. Sometimes exiting WRK and entering again will allow the selection. A lot of the time it's never selectable again no matter how long I wait. I have to roll back a save to fix that. Most of the time that's not doable, I've progressed too far to undo all that building. The other day I placed a step and still can't select it.

I do force weather.

My workaround is to assign keys to the Speed and Fly features in Workshop Plus, because they don't always work automatically.

Also, if you see additionnal suggestions in this thread, you can always add them to your opening post :)
 
I can confirm item 2 within the WRK.
I figured out whenever an item isn't highlighted while placing it will most likely NOT be reselectable once placed. At this point I use consul commands to either disable or delete the item.

The problem with hiving a popup telling you that you are dealing with script lag is that the popup has to run on a script. By the time you get the popup it will probably be too late.

The thing I would like to see in the WRK is a better organization system.

Forgive me cause I don't know. I'm just supposing. Doesn't SS2 know how many threads are currently running and what else is going on in the background? Can't it display this the same way the build limit is displayed?
KG and the others that make SS must be able to figure out a way for a visual representation of where the limit is now or how close the computer is to its limit. Way before it gets there. Just like the build limit meter.

This was meant to be a summary of the plots installed in the settlement. I can't remember all the plots I've put in.

I've made suggestions over time in many threads.
This is NOT a dig on anyone or a complaint. It's just how I feel.
Everyone here has helped me to no end. I really appreciate it so much.
I'll never be able to repay you all.

I would go to my father, when I was young, and tell him an idea I had.
He only ever told me why it wouldn't work. Listing all the reasons why.
Not once did he ever say, Let's figure out a way TO DO IT!

You all remind me of my father. I stopped asking him while I was a teenager.
I'm trying to forget what my father did to me (much more than this).
This just brings up those memories for me.
I'm not going to post any suggestions anymore.
Evidently, they are not good suggestions so why take up people's time?

Isn't it for KG and the team to decide what's inside or outside THEIR scope?

Sorry to hear that, we only mean to give feedback to your suggestions. Sometimes I don't take enough time to write my answers and since English is not my first language, I may come off as rude even if that's not my intention. And sometimes I miss the mark on what the opener is trying to say.

I'd say that the vast majority of suggestions in this section only lead to conversations. KG has mentionned once that he takes a look at the most popular suggestions only (there are MANY threads in that section, admittedly). Also, I think that Freddick is wording their answers carefully ("I feel that...")
 
I'm leaving it to you smart people.
GuardianMF. You are one of the ones that helped me a great deal my friend.
Thank you.

You do English proud.

Partly meant to this thread. My observations here over time.
Shooting down people's ideas is NOT a discussion. Figuring out how to make that idea work. Or revising the idea to work. That IS a discussion.

This has been happening to me often also. not sure when it started popping up regularly.
 
If you guys know specific items that can't be interacted with, please DM them to me. Those should be removed from WRK.
