1. Place a small object on the floor, just to make sure that the object can stand on the floor.

2. Put the object on top of a surface-object, for example a table or shelf.

3. Try to put the object on the floor again. The object can only be put mid-air, at the same height as the surface-object it stood on.

4. Put the object on a surface-object of another height than the first surface-object.

5. Try to put the object on the ground. Now it hovers at the height of the second surface-object.

6. It's possible to put the object on any surface of any height, but it can't be put on the floor after being on top of a surface-object.

I just loaded up an older version of the game (The EP03 Patch which came out October 2016) and it works the same way. I'm guessing it's always worked this way and is by design. You can use the 9 and 0 keys to raise/lower the object.

@SqueamishNerd Are you using Moo? I can't duplicate this.

[SqueamishNerd]

@crinrict Oh, I really thought that I had tried this with MO off, but I must've had MO on because now when it's off it works as it should. Thanks, that was easily fixed! Though I haven't met this until recently, just a week or so, and I almost always use MO on.

@SqueamishNerd Can't say if it's a bug or not as I never use moo myself (or build for that matter).

I'll go ask around.

@SqueamishNerd: I've started using MOO recently, and I did notice this!

I've also seen that on people's Twitch and YouTube streams/videos when they're cluttering surfaces. They often move the surface out from under the stuff (which stays floating) and back again while doing it. I've also seen at least one person use a special CC OMSP shelf to clutter surfaces, and the same may hold true there, since you need to use MOO with it for it to work properly.
