Move Buildings - Pick Up and Move Placed Pieces

The game has no way to move something you already built. Deleting it throws the materials on the ground and you build it again. This mod does the whole thing with one key, and the materials go straight back into your bag.

It works a lot like the workshop in Fallout 4. You point at a wall, press a key, and you are holding that same wall again with the normal build controls. Put it down where you want it, or press Esc and it goes right back.

How to use it

• []Open build mode (B) and switch to repair mode (T).[/]

  []Aim at the piece you want to move and press Z.[/]

  []Its materials go straight back into your bag, and you are now holding the same piece. Snapping, rotation and costs all work as usual.[/]

  []Click to place it. Or press Esc (or Z again) and it goes back exactly where it was, same spot, same direction.[/]

What it will not move, and why

• []Anything with items inside, like a chest or a station holding materials. Empty it first. (The game itself would happily delete a full chest and spill everything, so the mod checks this on its own.)[/]

  []A station that is working. Wait until it finishes.[/]

  []A piece that other pieces rest on, like a foundation under a wall. Move the top pieces first.[/]

  []Beds (your respawn point) and farm plots (your crop).[/]

  []Anything the game will not let you delete, and pieces that are not built yet.[/]

Each of these shows a short message saying why, and nothing is changed.

Install

• []Install UE4SS for RSDragonwilds (linked under Requirements).[/]

  []Drop the MoveBuildings folder into RSDragonwilds/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/[/]

  []To change the key in game, also install Mod Menu (Esc > MODS > Move Buildings). Without it, the key is in config.txt inside the mod folder.[/]

On Game Pass: use the BE version of UE4SS with the SCO signature, the normal build does not load there. Game Pass also installs the game under Binaries/WinGDK/ instead of Binaries/Win64/, so the MoveBuildings folder goes in RSDragonwilds/Binaries/WinGDK/ue4ss/Mods/. If you install with Vortex, check that is where it ended up.

To uninstall, delete the MoveBuildings folder.

Good to know

• []A move costs nothing. You get the materials back when you pick a piece up, and the game takes them again when you put it down.[/]

  []Bag full? The materials that do not fit are left on the ground next to where the piece was, same as deleting it by hand. They do not disappear.[/]

  []No XP for moving. Picking up and putting back does not give Construction XP, so it cannot be used to farm levels.[/]

  []Damaged pieces come back at full health, the same as deleting and rebuilding one by hand.[/]

  []If the game closes while you are holding a piece, that piece is gone from the world but its materials are safe in your bag. Nothing is duplicated.[/]

  []Solo or host. It only runs for the host of a world. Co-op has not been tested yet.[/]

  []Z is free in the game's default controls. Typing a z in chat does not move anything.[/]

  []Not sure it is running? UE4SS.log shows a line starting with loaded.[/]

Tested on RuneScape: Dragonwilds 1. 0: walls moved and put back, a loom picked up and put back, saving and reloading after a move (the piece stays where you put it, no duplicates), dying, teleporting and the game closing while holding a piece, a full bag, a damaged piece, and every refusal above (a full chest, a loom with thread in it, a working sawmill, a bed, a foundation under a wall), with no crashes. Walls and the loom are what was moved in testing; other pieces go through exactly the same steps. Not tested yet: co-op, controller, and totem-protected pieces.
