I have recently made a sculpture that took many hours and when I went to copy it I didn't click 'unlimited', due to my user error, making it a 'limited' sculpture that can no longer be copied and support will not reverse this. However, I feel that the 'unlimited' button should be ticked as default since the majority of sculptures put into the machine are unlimited. Therefore, I would like to suggest that the 'unlimited' button be ticked as default in the Autosculpt Machine, this will prevent further user errors and will stop deterring artists from copying their sculptures in fear of limiting them.

I did suggest the same thing some time ago, because it happened to me too due to lag, that I accidentally copied a sculpture as limited, and now it's lost forever.
This really needs to be considered to prevent accidental limitation for sculptures.
Especially if you make a sculpture that is made with more than 1 piece, imagine you accidentally limit one of those pieces, it would ruin the whole set.
Setting the machine to unlimited by default would prevent these errors, and it really can't be that hard to do, can it? -
I tried to email support but they said since it's a 'user error' they won't put it back to unlimited. However, I know that support have given items back that were accidentally refunded which is also 'user error'. Therefore, I think just removing the 'limited' option or removing it as default would be the best way forward, especially if support won't help when that happens - it definitely is not hard to do, you would just switch the buttons over.
It's absolutely devastating knowing you worked so hard on a sculpture for many hours and never be able to copy it again like intended.Comment

I don't understand their reasoning behind not putting it back as unlimited for you- I understand that they may want to safeguard against someone creating a piece, selling it as "rare", then going back and making copies.. but that seems completely irrelevant if a piece hasn't been sold. I have tried my hand at sculpting and I'm terrible at it! I'm amazed at the incredible work sculptors produce on this game, and I understand that it takes a lot of time and effort. It seems that grace could be extended by SV Support until these settings (hopefully) become less clunky to navigate. Even an "Are you sure you want to mark this as limited?" pop-up would be tremendously helpful in preventing accidental mistakes (especially when the default is limited!!!).Comment

When it comes to saving sculptures, I highly recommend developing a consistent routine to prevent this kind of issue. Personally, I always use the "Z Audit" Method inside the copy machine. It’s a simple step-by-step flow that virtually guarantees a successful outcome once it becomes muscle memory.
Rushing through the process is where most of these mistakes happen. That said, it might still be worth emailing support to see if they can convert the block back for you, though they’ve been firm on user-error cases like this in the past.
Break a leg!

In SmallVerse's defence there is a little pop-up that asks if you're sure but when you're copying so many sculptures for a shop, you're tired and lagging, it's an easy mistake to make especially when you have to actually press 'unlimited' instead of that being the standard.Comment

This is such an easy fix. It will cost them nothing but mean so much to us. Who does it even benefit to keep the default option as Limited?Comment
