    Could somebody help me out with getting a box geomerged flush with the ground on foundry. Every time i try the box runs away from me(it falls through the ground and makes me all sad faced)

    I tried going under the map and placing a wall under the box but u can only place it so far down. And for this geomerge it isn't far enough.

    A link to a tutorial thread or just explaining it would be nice.

    Place mancannons on the sides of the box so the grav thingy is pointing upwards into the box.

    What:
    Merging with Mancannons is a relatively new and unknown technique that helps prevent objects from sinking through Foundry. It can also help on smaller merges to reduce the number of times you double tap a box to get it to the correct height.

    How:
    Simply brace up the object you wish to merge as you would normally, then place Mancannons facing in the opposite direction of the direction the object will be pushed, and merge it as usual. The Mancannons will push the object up towards the doors/pushing object because the object will be considered movable for a short amount of time after you tap it. This will lessen the force applied to the object you wish to merge, increasing reliability.

    When:
    Mancannons can be used at anytime effectively, but are most useful when you find the object you are trying to merge is constantly sinking through Foundry. The Mancannons will hold the object up to prevent that and will make your merge more accurate.

    And this should be in Halo Forge Discussion.
