Is there a trick for placing Apples and Bananas?

Every time I try to place these small items, they end up in a wall or a floor and can't be seen. I am able to retrieve them and try again, but am having no success

    Now that you're old enough to ask these questions the best people to ask are either your parents or the school nurse. There are a number of informative pamphlets in his office.


    Try this: select the item and the use the mousewheel to "push/pull" it to the approximate place you want, then right-click to "level" it. This will not work on all surfaces. On flat floors or most tables it's easy. On others it's just a pain.

    That sounds like a bug to me. On PTS I was able to place some bananas on a table with an incredible degree of fine-tuning, so maybe something went wrong between then and now. Are you going into first-person mode to place it? I did that so I could get a better view of the details.

    Imagine pact as an apple. Dominion as a banana. Than to place them you need just to create a bridge

    That's good stuff right there.

    When I need to place small items like this I'll choose it, hover over whatever surface I want it on, right click to align it with the table for example, if it looks like it's going into the table a little I'll roll my mouse wheel towards me to bring it up, then I left click, move to the side and check it's level, move back and use my number keys (above my letter keys) to change its direction/tilt/etc until I'm satisfied.

    A little practice and you'll have it down.

    Push "T" if you are placing the object on a counter or against a wall (this turns on the "no clipping" mode). Usually, it will prevent the object from clipping through the wall/counter.

    Also, having a mechanical keyboard helps immensely with these precise movements. It lets you nudge things by the millimetre.

    Always place the banana between the two apples.

    Way more appeal there.
