[2.0.14] Space platform limited view

Post by kitters »

I can't shift camera further when it's too far from center of platform.
BUT it doesn't stop building that far. So to build long or wide platform I have to zoom out fro camera to include that regions despite of I can't move it's center (focus) here. It's unhandy. Have to squint my eyes.
Don't know should I put this in suggestions or bugs. I think it works not how it's supposed to, so put it here. Should forbid to build that far or allow to zoom in there.

Thanks for the report however that is intentional to not be able to move camera too far. There are 2 reasons for this behavior: first is trying to hide the spots where asteroids are spawning when platform is traveling, and second is to avoid confusion when camera goes too far from a space platform as we noticed that players were often confused and started looking for the space platform when the movement on a space platform view was not limited.
