Hi guys, dont know if this has been suggested before, im a bit of an OCD, and everytime i try to build something i need it to be perfectly aligned. But, what troubles me is that there is no grid option in kenshi...

so, i'd like to suggest the "option" to enable grid view when building things. It'll allow some of us with OCD syndrome to have a little bit of satisfaction :D

free-placement of buildings for someone with OCD sounds bad.

a version of this has been requested before by people with OCD about buildings being level.
the Dev explained it pretty easily. the terrain Engine used kinda makes it impossible for now. dont know about the upcoming map though. but the Idea has pretty much been shot down to being impossible. for now at least.

to defeat yuor OCD what is needed is a snap to grid kinda like the walls have. problem is that some areas, a tiny spot can be out of alignment and throw your entire build into the trash. will this change in the future?? maybe, but maybe not.

so for now free placement is gonna be the norm. which personally i prefer.

what im asking is not a fixed placement, just a grid view, something like a layer.
i also prefer a free placement, but i want the option to show the grid (not fixed grid placement).. so that i know im making a linear placement of the street lights, or buildings
it's basically act as a reference, like a ruler...
