simple dumb question: why the plum is it so frustrating to place a roof in the game?
Long story: I'm trying to build a park and I want 3 foyers in it. I managed to build the first foyer and somehow I could place a roof over it. Then I copied it to make 2 more. Of course the copies don't include the roofs...or stairs.
Now, no matter what I do, I can't place the roofs over these foyers like I did on the first. The grid is there, but no matter how I drag it, they won't go ON the grids as they should. I can only build them on the ground. Can't move them above the room, no matter how much I try.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this 🐸🐸🐸🐸? Why did they make the building system so 🐸🐸🐸🐸 complicated while claiming it's so much simpler? Because I'm really frustrated here.
I need a drink.

I don't really get what you mean? It already has a platform???
Found a workaround: I built a square room and I could actually place a roof over it, then cut the corners by building triangular rooms and deleting them. Still wish it was much simpler than this though.
Problem solved.

Might be a bug then.

I miss auto-roofs.

Also when I was looking at an angle, if I went passed where it looked like the roof should go, it would pop up into place.
Yeah, this was what I meant with the platform. Sorry if it was unclear. But I meant put a platform on the "second floor". It might be a bit tedious with the octagonal shape. I don't know why the game doesn't recognize it as a room even when you built it with walls first. That should not be the case. Did you try to use the preset octagonal room tool?
It's funny, because I tried building a ceiling and it went the same exact way as the roof - on the ground floor! Even after building the walls, mind you.

Granted, it takes a bit of practice to work with this tool, but once you know how it works, you can really build amazing things with it.
The issue....is your glass roof in the background there. If you have any roofs on the property that include a glass texture, second floors & roofs stop functioning properly. Why? Who knows! All I know is, I've gotten into the habit of texturing my roofs last to avoid this issue.
Hope this is helpful to anyone who happens upon this thread.
