Please Free the placement of Building Objects

I have struggled and spent countless hours placing down foundations to make rounded homes, aligning the corners correctly in order to design the building I am envisioning. We all seem to love the half-moon balconies, and now seeing the idea of double doors is cool! But you cannot do this without many many hours of extreme patience of finding the right spot to get the game to place your object where you want it to be. Right now, raising up/down objects on the ground or table only allows about 2-3 clicks before it goes red on me and stops placement. There is no real way of being able to place a foundation anywhere on the land without it Snapping to the foundation right next to it (ugg). You should be able to place a foundation next to each other seemlessly by eye without snapping at all, without boundaries off the ground not allowing you to do so on the Z-axis either.


Even trying to place lamps on tables (atop the ledge of a Excellent Masonary Bench for example) only allows you certain hotspots to place them, and attempting to place candles in wedges of Bhutan half-walls is very difficult at times. You used to be able to place Weathered Trunks on top of each other, but no more. So now, after the latest update, you can no longer place objects in odd places anymore, not even on the ground level near water.


You used to be able to place a Lodestar on the ground, on rocks, under waterfalls, on top of floating block structures, but no more. There are only some spots on the ground level it goes green. You are now forced to create a foundation to place a Lodestar on in order to do anything. You can place a Portal anywhere, oddly enough, but the Lodestar is now a nightmare to place down. I definetly was able to place a casket in the water and I can't do this either.


We really need the ability to NOT SNAP to objects, when placing a foundation for example. Perhaps click "SHIFT-F" to toggle SNAP OFF would be PERFECT. Then, allow us the ability to place down anything - anywhere. Why hinder object placement?

Increase the "rotation" increments that we can align builds to current POI's so we can also align our builds to those too. This would be a complete game changer to be able to use the entire zone we live in.

When a foundation, wall, table, lamp, any object is already placed, we could use a "Fine Tuning" adjustment tool that would allow us to move this object in any X/Y/Z axis by ANY increment to be able to build precisely where we want to place things and how we want to design it. An idea would be to bring up arrow curve helpers that you would literally click on to slide along with to use as fine tune helpers, that would have numbers on them as well to type in if you want to, to even go that far to be precise.

So, please give us the flexibility to be creative and free the placement of building objects.


Thank you! <3

    Completely agree... it really would be amazing if we had more freedom with the building
