"Improvements to snapping pieces together while in Workshop mode"

What were the improvements?

I still see pieces jumping to snap points no where near where i want to put something.

Player location still seems to have an impact on placing pieces.

Some pieces will place directly through a wall, yet others fail to place because of a tiny corner - a flat shack roof is dissected in two by a broken brick, yet a small shack floor piece flatly refuses to sit in gap because there is a small corner protruding into its area.

Wall pieces that won't readily snap to 2 small shack floors, yet will quite happily snap through a wall.

I really like the settlement feature, but it can be extremely exasperating .

Wow! A post I totally agree with!

My nephew says I'm crazy for trying to force clipping and fit odd pieces here and there. It can take me hours to build a damned hut.

He's probably right.

(I recently found the staircase/concrete floor trick. It changed my life, I tell you. )

Bruh, the comic sans....


What was changed is settlers now have handy markers that tell you what they are currently assigned too, which is extremely helpful for large populations

I'm on a PS4.

I started a new game in honor of the 1.3 patch. And when I say "new" I mean I deleted everything then reinstalled from my disc with just the new patch. I sometimes wonder if me deleting everything first is why I don't see some of the odd problems reported by some folks. There's something to be said for a fresh install programs once in a while.

Anyway, I was hoping there would be some improvements in this area as well because, well, they said there were. If there are improvements they must be on something very obscure in settlement building mode because I'm pretty heavy in to building and I haven't seen anything improved in regard to building either.

Items placed on a table or shelf still vanish. Pictures still fight me every step of the way when placing them. I can see what settlers are assigned to now, but that really doesn't help a whole lot. Naming settlers would have been a far better improvement.

As for the other stuff they said was in the patch ...

Edit: I edited my post and cut/pasted the content to a more relevant thread. Didn't want to take this one off topic. Thanks.
