Placing furniture, rotating to walls
Hey guys.
Im trying to set up storage and cant seem to make it work.
For example, i placed a box on the ground, i wanted to place another on top, it doesnt work.
The preview shows it on top, but when i click my character moves out of the room, behind the wall and places it there instead on top.

Another issue, i have a cupboard that is placed on a wall in the house by default.
However, it seems to be placed where i cant place furniture.
Basically i can place furniture only in two ways. Either to the left wall or the front wall.
In isometric terms, top left and top right.
However the default cupboard in the house is placed on the bottom left.
Is there a way to add more next to it? I cant seem to as rotation seems to only allow two directions.

So its these two problems currently.
Stacking items doesnt work and rotating is limited to two.
The stacking is the worst problem, as it also limits projects that should be possible.
For example placing ONE cupboard above a box or other storage.
For example the typical shelves in the kitchen are half height and it should be possible to place a cupboard above them.
The game shows that i apparently can, but then again the character moves out of the room to the other side of the wall and does nothing.

Ok the first one happend to me in the beginning. i clicked on top of the first box, cause I didnt know how the tiles worked at that time. You got to click the same tile that the first box is already on, not the tile above (if you aim on top of the box, you will aim for the next game tile). the second one I dont really get. What furniture do you want to place because shelves are for walls (so top right or left) and cupboards stand on the ground. to turn furniture while placing you place it on the tile, hold mouse button und turn the mouse, let go and you will build it that way.

Sorry then its a translation issue, i mean a shelf.
For example in a typical kitchen there are the cupboards and a sink.
I tried to place a shelf (one, not two) above and the preview showed that it was possible.
But as with the boxes, i couldnt place them but the character wanted to place them on the next tile.
While stacking now it works with boxes, placing a shelf on top doesnt seem to work because i cant select the correct tile.

Another problem with shelves is, that there are shelves in the game attached to walls where you cant place them yourself as you cant rotate them that way.
So there are preplaced furnitures and i cant seem to place other furniture the same way.
For example if you consider the isometric view which is a diamond shape, it has a top left and top right diagonal where i can place furniture without a problem as those are the visible walls.
But it also has the bottom right and bottom left walls where i cant seem to be able to place furniture.
My kitchen for example goes at the top right to the bottom right wall.
I can place a shelf at the top right but not the bottom right wall.
I have a shelf at the bottom left wall but i cant place any shelf next to it as i cant rotate them to that wall.
Is there a trick or am i just not able to place furniture on all walls but only two?
