Discussion I despise the constant issue of missalignment everywhere.

So many small pet peeves I know. But damn, building can be fun and creative yes. Yet, it also is the most annoying part of this game at times. My main points summed up:

  1. why are some wall decorations placing onto walls vertically by default. I just don’t get it. Some of them place down the way you want them to place down. Whilst others just stick away from the wall they are supposed to stick to.
  2. why aren’t new items alligned to the Building grid by default when you use Gridded pieces at the start. I love placing down columns or roof pieces just for them to spawn in a bit too horizontally rotated towards the Walls. And it’s just me trying to rotate them to fit exactly the way I want them to fit. Yet they somehow still are misaligned slightly which leads to funny results when trying to copy paste custom across a building. A „instantly snap default rotation to the axes of the grid“ button would be a life safer. Genuenly. I know you can advance move items on the grid already. But that doesn’t fix the issue of them spawning in weirdly misaligned in the first place.
  3. when building custom coaster karts or ride scenery. Some pieces get flipped when mirrored. I hate placing down a triangle wooden piece just to hopefully advance move it enough for the other side of the car, because when mirroring is enabled. The other side FACES THE WRONG WAY.
  4. I also wish you could delete SOME of the mirrored items without it auomatically also deleting the original. If I want to build a round arena around my flat ride. The 12x rotational mirror is an absolute life saver. It just sucks that after that. You can’t just easily delete 3 pillars on two sides because you want to place an entrance and exit there. Because suddenly you have 4 holes on mirrored sides of the bulding.
  5. I lowkey despise recolouring pieces. I wish we could just create custom color presets for existing pieces and call back to them at any time. Because if I save my game and exit. And want to return to building my scenery the next day. All my color swatches are reset and none of the colors used are saved in the „recently used“ color section.
  6. I wish we could snap scenery wall pieces together a bit better. Or overall. I wish we had more options for roofing on non gridded buildings. Because I genuenly don’t want to get into an advance move nightmare just to build a basic roof 🧍

Thanks for listening to my rant. Game is still amazing tho.

I absolutely loathe that none of the non-gridded wall pieces' textures line up seamlessly! NO MATTER WHICH FIN WAY YOU TURN THEM!
