It's on my list but I need to take care of a few more things first!
For the moment, you can control the grid snapping size in Settings > Display > World Tile Snap size.
The placements are currently based on the object's collision so they can't overlap and the player's position so some people have found precision decoration easier when at walking speed with no speed buffs.
If there's anything specific you're looking for in decoration let me know and I'll see what I can do :)
Okay i will try it when im not running because i just keep that on all the time. Thank you for the fast reply! I have gotten so discouraged trying to decorate with all of the cute things because they just will not go at all where I want them. I play on switch so I know its still really new on here. Ill try walking and let you know how it goes!
So i gave walking a try and it helped for the most part, but i still have so much trouble placing anything kitchen or bathroom. The vanity, toilet, and shower and the stive, fridge, and the sink will just not allow me to arrange them in any acceptable way. I am still super into the game and cant wait to see what all you can do with it! Thanks for your help!
Oh awesome, I'm glad it helped a bit in the meantime and I'm glad you're still having fun in the other bits! I'll hopefully be able to get some changes done before the next update so if there's anything specific you want to request there let me know. Eg is it that you want to be able to place closer to walls? Or prefer a different placement mechanic like a decoration mode?
No promises that I'll be able to implement something massive before the next update because placement things require a lot of testing before I can release them but the more information I have about what people prefer/dislike the easier it is for me to triage what needs to be done and get fixes up! <3
Just you hearing me out and saying you're working on it is really promising, you're doing great work! The only thing specific i would say is yes, moving closer to the walls would be great! There is one bug, specificlly in the right room in the 1 2 and 3 bedroom around the middle of the back wall. Anything you try to place there (for me its usually a kitchen appliance) will either be super far away from the wall and wont align with any of the other items, or it jumps "on top" of the others, where it looks like the bottom of the item is aligned with the windows. Its pretty consistent, and only happens in that one area.
No worries at all! I’m definitely up for it :D If it’s consistent across apartments, the middle of the back wall thing sounds like maybe there’s a stray collision from an invisible controller, I’ll add to my bugs list for this week. Is this in a specific building ( eg. are all the apartments you’ve tried in like Cedar Court?) or across different the buildings?
Decoration mode definitely requires a lot of extra planning so I’m aiming for better regular placement first. Moving things without the hammer would be awesome too but it’s a little tricky because of the way the interactions work right now, eg. I’d need to assign a different button press so you can differentiate between opening the fridge and moving it but all of the default buttons are already listening for things. Would it be helpful or annoying if when placing furniture it automatically locked you to a slower speed? Or maybe a hold to grab and drag like older Animal Crossings would be better?
I suuuuper get you on the inventory access too, I’ve been trying to figure out the best ways to do it in the UI because it needs to track where the item is stored add/remove properly when you use something but I do think it is do-able. I’ll bump it up the list so maybe in 2.0.0.M!
Give me a little bit to think about it and I’ll see what I can do :D
And a decoration mode would be so awesome, but i'm sure that requires a lot technically! No rush on that AT ALL. It would be cool to just be able to select and move things without the hammer! Just place down the items and switch to decor mode and freely move whatever we have put down. Also if we could have free access to our refrigerator inventory from our cooking pot and clothes in our wardrobe from the mirror, my life would be actually perfect.
