SneakyBanana Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hey all! Do you think there is any chance that placement grids (like the geometric placement mod) will ever be integrated into the game? As a console player (switch) I find base building and general item placement horrible, time consuming, and honestly demoralizing to the point of wishing to quit playing at all. I don't think having an option to toggle a placement grid on and off in the options menu will fundamentally change gameplay to those that are not interested in it, and it will improve the gameplay experience a Lot for those who do want it. Do you think the issue is a copyright thing, or a priority issue, or maybe something like budget? Any tips for a player desperately wishing to build a base that just, for once, looks nice? (If other players feel the same, maybe leave a reply saying so? I hope knowing the issue is one the community cares about might help bring it to the dev team's attention ) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/145488-structure-placement-without-mods-a-request-for-the-devs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duplicatedeer Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I also play on console (Xbox) and what usually do is hold a pitchfork and align the character so the side of square outline is right in the middle of the players feet. Then I try to place the structure on top of the outlines corners but I agree with you completely. Right now it's too complicated and inconvinient.

SneakyBanana Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 I use the pitchfork outline too, and I started making walls and fences to line things up because unlike other structures they actually snap to a grid. It's doable but it's a hassle, and like you said very inconvenient.

xDarkSoul18x Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I really hope so. Another thing would be to adjust placement in general. Good example is if you say place a building down and then walls you're good to go. If you place the walls first you have to place the building farther away then if you had placed the walls FIRST. Think the next QoL update should bring some of these changes for sure.

SneakyBanana Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 That's another great point! I don't know if it's something that is possible to adjust but if it is that would be so good!

Cloakingsumo198 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I probably spend more resources and rollbacks rebuilding my base to align it than in any actual mistake in game. I really miss geometric placement.

. . . Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 geometric placement, gesture wheel, and status combined for hp/hunger/sanity+char unique stats all need to option to have in the vanilla game. the mods are too important there's a reason why millions are subbed to them.
