Closed Matter Manipulator not working

I am playing the nightly build. After the beginning dungeon, the matter manipulator is not taking down any tree. It works fine on the normal build. I hold the manipulator towards the tree for over five minutes still does nothing.

Without that I can't even complete the first task of building the crafting table.

Any help would be appreciated!

I recently downloaded the nightly build and have deleted the config, resource and world data from previous game.

Cheers!

 

Did you try it on multiple trees? What about dirt?

 

I'm having the same problem. It doesn't work on anything besides things you can destroy by right clicking. The only hope you have of gathering wood and building tools is to find a wooden house somewhere.

 

I'm having the same problem²
Only Right click works

 

Well then it's just something in the unstable branch that needs fixing. Nothing we can do but wait.

 

hope its fixed soon

 

i think they try to test the indestructible dungeon thing, so people dont just dig through it. I went through all the dungeon till the end and then explored the surface of the map (since all the new chars have the same world) and it has no other holes or anything, just shrooms some trees and monsters. I have to say the dungeon was pretty fun, but also quite hard since you dont have much of equipment. would be an interesting storybeginning if you start your journey in a dungeon where you learn about the game.
