How to have two object side by side without large gaps?

I notice when placing an object you can only have two on one tile/grid/square but on either side, not in the middle. So you can see the gaps between the objects.

What i want to achieve is have objects side by side, like this photoshopped version below..

Is there a way to do this? I tried reducing the object grid size but didnt make a diiference, i guess the grid is just there is a creation aid only. When we do get the ability to copy an entire object and paste it i could have the two objects like these two suitcases side by side as a single object and it would still fit the current system of things but look better without having these noticable gaps when placing them on the map. At the moment I will have to manually create another identical suitcase next to the other and save it as a single object. But i wondered if there was another trick to do this as above in the picture.


ps. I dont know how to properly embed images, im using photo bucket and out of the 4 options for posting the image the HTML tag is the only one that works in itch.io but has part of the code showing.

Currently, the only way to accomplish this is to make two of them side by side as a single object as you mentioned. Similar to stacking objects, I also have plans to allow multiple objects per tile and the ability to tweak the positioning to some extent. I am not happy with the current functionality myself, so I definitely have some improvements to make around placing objects. :)

I would recommend trying out Imgur for posting images, it seems to work really well. In previous posts, I was able to grab the "direct link" once I uploaded to Imgur then paste it in the post and press enter to embed it. Hopefully that helps!

Yeah i will go the single object route for now. I like the sound of when you implement allowing multiple objects in a tile space that we will be able to tweak the position of objects like in my photoshopped version above the briefcase isnt perfectly straight which helps makes it look more believeable in a scene then everything perfectly straight or right-angled.

I will sign up with Imgur as you suggested, thanks.
