Roofing cannot go higher than two tiers without running into various snapping issues.
I tried to build a circus roof with the new flotsam set, and it was impossible due to the pieces not connecting to each other. Inverted wedges do not always connect to their wedge counter parts, the inverted wedge corner just plain simply requires tiles on top to connect to, and even roof corners do not connect to roof pieces because they donât recognize them as connections without floor tiles around them.
Yet, the moment you remove the floor tiles, the entire roof falls apart, so even if you manage to construct the roofing pattern, it does not stay in place on its own if you remove the âhelperâ ceiling bits. So building the circus roof is literally impossible.
There are many issues with roofing and I hope they will be addressed so that they behave in more predictable ways and share more connection points with each other consistently - not just with the floor tiles.
Also, wedge floor pieces and wedge roof pieces along with their inverted counter parts should cost less than the flat pieces since it requires a lot more of them to cover the same area, which often results in them eating stability at a rate that requires pillars where otherwise a larger area with squares would not require any pillars.
Wedges should cost either 33% to 50% less than squares in order for the stability to be correct (even) in terms of cost.
Uniform costs and more reliable connection points. That is what the building system is struggling with atm and desperately needs.
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
- Place a structure with wedge shaped walls in a creative arrangement for adequate testing
- (Using the flotsam set) Place Wedge roof pieces on wedge floor tiles. Flat diagonal roof on square tiles. Where they form square edges, place the roof top corner. In between the wedge roof pieces, place the âinvertedâ wedge roof piece. In any other gaps that are larger, the inverted wedge corner applies.
- Now do the same on the next level. Apply roofing following the same ruleset as above.
- You come to a point where connections are impossible, the inverted wedge pieces do not want to connect to the wedge pieces, the roof top corner and the inverted wedge corner require floor tiles in front of them in order to be placed and in general the ruleset becomes less consistent the higher up you go. (Creating a circus top is impossible.)
(Circus top as in a large roof space without additional floors in between.)
