[Suggestion] Updating the Building Grid to Half and Quarter size
The biggest issue with Building atm. with the Half pieces is that all those pieces count as a full space use and only snap to specific points.
The half wall for example only to bottom pieces and the floor pieces only to the top or bottom of the "build box".
If we could have a toggle when placing pieces to cycle through the grid size it would allow for so much better buildings and visually appealing builds.
We have only "pseudo" half pieces atm. and it would be nice to be able to build with that half space the pieces actually give.
TLDR : Adjust build snapping to be able to be half or quarter size of a single build piece "cell"

Bug or issue - Make floor pieces able to be used at half height.. like if i do a bottom half pitch roof and instead of doing the 2nd piece, i did a half wall end cap and wish to top it off with a flat floor/roof.
Picture shows unable to level it with half roof. I thought this was part of the building update few months ago to allow for building in these ways. -

KizmarYes. Just yesterday I was trying to put a half floor piece on a second floor doorway to outside. I wanted to snap some stairs to that half floor, but wasn't able to. I was trying to do that, because snapping the stairs to the doorway itself makes the stairs stick through the wall on the lower level.

Dennis Mergednow with the new Patch with Placement Options for Half and Quarterfloor - please add a way to add a wall/fence/beams on the half floor

Sarah MergedI too would love if this would be possible. Also floors. It would make 1.5 wall high ceilings possible, opening up a whole host of customizable building. To add to that, halfpitch stairs to get to those floors and half height pillars

Miss Fox MergedWhen I go to Maccas I get a Crispy Chicken bacon delux medium meal OR a double cheesey meal with 6 nuggies, sweet and sour sauce and a bottle of water. If I'm feeling hungry I add a cheese burger happy meal to that. If I'm crying in the drive through I get a triple cheesey. Also Horizontal half walls = Good / Lack of vertical horizontal walls = Sad

Arnasit impossible to snap floor to 1.5 height wall. also why we have half roof plates without roof corner options of it. with 45 angle roof all buildings looks terrible. i think we need to have 1.5 size walls for our trophies to put on and build more attractive buildings. to have half size columns and be able to snap all other elements, that would be great.

GlueGenuinely, the building would be so good if we could just snap at half intervals. Or at the very least toggle snapping off when placing on build pieces.
I was making a roof out of shallow pieces, and realized you can't even snap a floor piece to it. Its either half way above, or half way below. Want a pillar or wall at the edge of a half foundation? Nope! It floats off to the side! This issue is a constant pain point for me. I have a long list of examples that wouldn't fit here. Which is crazy, because the building overlay makes it look like you should be able to place on the corners, center, and center edges, which would be perfect!
We are also missing important pieces, such as shallow roof corners. Vertical half walls. Half length railings. Half pillars. Angled floors/foundations. Plus, I think the quarter floor tile can only be placed at two of four angles?
The core game is pretty mid imo, but if it at least had decent building, I would be way more into it. -

НиколайYes, 1.5 is very necessary, I think about it myself, and dream about it, I have to build it myself, but there are always inconsistencies, and it's annoying.

Iaini would like half_pieces able to become this fix: all they need is a vertical wall half-piece, and snap detection on all sides. stack half-pieces to be full size, the snap detects off the half edges, and done. a minor mod, rather than a rebuild.
the structure and weather calc can treat the thing as a whole standard volume: or can extrapolate from the surrounding full height. we can workaround the structural cost w columns: altering the structural calc is what they are For. -

Iaina workaround for "shelves": a structure but Not space or weather.
concrete shows a half point in ghost mode.
so you rip up the floor/foundation where you want a column, "END" to reset off the existing grip, find as close as cursor can get for "same grid" for a column, then "PGUP" or "PGDN" it till half line matches the floor you work next to.
Concrete column, wall, floor, foundation all show half line, place them as guides as needed to start off, if you want a different material as final, make 2 columns and 2 horizontal elements so the structure is self supporting as you remove/replace each piece. once you are above floor level, you can still extend the columns through to ground
once that first column in in and above floor level, you can fill the original foundation/floor back in.
w exterior grade structural, you hide it in outer wall. w interior, it looks like a real shelf when you place it a touch over half a foundation in: just over so it is INSIDE the weatherproof building.

EverLeeThis is one of the most annoying problems with building when you need to use half pieces! Trying to get them to snap correctly because they only want to snap on TWO sides instead of all 4 sides!

BGMYes, please! Coming from Valheim, I was very excited dropping into this game, and the building system is good, but could be great if they did half pieces and joined beams (from different sub structures) similar to Valheim.

INSAIN979It would be awesome if we could have Quarter & Half railings as well. Don't even need to snap. They could be free placed but it would be nice if they snapped in place as well.
