Structure Placement for Consoles

[SolaFide83]

A pretty big advantage for base builders on PC is the ability to use some really great mods for placement of structures. A notable one is Geometric Placement. This  is incredibly helpful to those who are trying to make a very tidy, well aligned base. Short of enabling some sort of mod support, could there be support for cursor-based placement? What I mean by that is when the player is in a state where they're placing a structure, they can hold L2/LT and they're now in a "cursor" mode. While holding L2/LT, the right analog stick no longer moves the character but rather the silhouette for the structure they are trying to place. Releasing L2/LT will snap the user back into the default building mode where the building silhouette is right next to the character. Such a change will eliminate the really annoying back and forth dance that a user does when they're trying to perfectly align something, such as chests.

This behavior can be extended down the line for things like where they user wants to use a hoe (have you ever tried making 81 plots on a 3x3 grid on console?) but structure placement could be a safe start to evaluate its viability.
