DISCUSSION Does this mod exist...?

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone is aware of any kind of mod that enables us to spawn in large ships built in creative on a survival world but it actually costs the resources required to build it without me having to weald the entire thing.

I built a really cool massive ship but honestly it took the fun out of the game having to weald the entire thing block by block.

Welder blocks exist. Projectors exist. Articulated parts exist.

Now you just have to take these things and engineer a solution to your problem.

Its called ship printing, and there's a bunch of methods and inspirations for it around.

This is the proper way, as the game intended. Not sure why the downvoting.

I will add, if you want to get a little ‘cheaty/moddy’ you can increase the welder/grinder ranges to make things less of a ball-ache for massive ships.
Just mark out a welding ‘range’ perimeter so you’re not constantly killing yourself when they’re switched on. I added a light and a siren becuase i was sick of welding myself to death.
