Make Click+Drag to select A SETTINGS TOGGLE!

[zizzle8383]

I’m kindly asking if this could be made into a toggleable feature, as it’s significantly affecting my gameplay experience in a negative way.

It would be a huge improvement for accessibility, and honestly, it’s starting to make the game less enjoyable for me. If I wanted to select something, I’d use the appropriate button.

A simple solution could be requiring the SHIFT key to be held down while interacting—just a small tweak. I really just need to be able to click and move my mouse even slightly without the GUI constantly interrupting.

Alternatively, increasing the “Minimum” area for selection could help. Even a slight nudge of the mouse causes the selection GUI to appear once I release the click, even if I return the mouse to its original spot.

an example of what I have to struggle with, as someone with anxiety, this genuinely causes me stress. I usually love Planco but this is seriously just annoying and at points is making me want to delete the game.

I completely agree - new selection is extremely annoying.
I have a very fast mouse and tend do make extra click here and there, cause I almost never click on what I wanted the first time, and also like to check and recheck everything )))
But since the update 2 building anything except maybe paths is a nightmare for me - all the time I click on smth, EVERYTHING wants to be in my selection range. That's so much more frustrating then old 'confirm' button for multi-selection.

Yeah, what we sorely need is the simple ability to shift + select multiple objects without first having to go into multi-select, like you can already do in all other planet games

They just need to copy Planet Zoo's homework with the controls and ui...It's right there. Just do what that team did. Sigh.
