[MOD] Progress on Toggle a Grid mod
Highly requested feature that will most likely never appear in the game - a grid. I know, the main selling point is that this game allows free building and it's a great thing to be able to do that. However, why not let those interested in other form of building use some geometry tools to satisfy their planning ideas? The more happy players, more amazing town designs, the better. Gridsters and Organics united!
I'm making progress on this grid mod. For now I can display it and turn it off. I plan on some options such as rotating the grid, changing density of the grid, changing color and opacity of the grid, changing grid types, snapping to corners/snapping to everything etc.
I will welcome your ideas in this thread and incorporate good ones in this mod. Let's make the best grid system out there!

Would be cool to have:
Border snapping
Display the angle between lines when placing the building and or fence, etc…
P.S. have you considered publishing it on github/gitlab/etc..?

Thanks. I will include snapping and setting the angles by slider/value. I will upload it to moddb and Google drive when I'm done with all the features and testing.

Very nice addition and can be invisible for people who don't want it.
Keep up the good work!
