How do you repair existing buildings properly?

This is probably a two-part question...

I'm currently repairing a granite tower, but I've had this problem elsewhere, where repairs, even if they're apparently the same material, don't merge with the existing material. In this case it leaves a border line that I can't get to go away without completely rebuilding a surface.

The second, but related part of the question is how to get rid of damage done by embedding parts into surfaces. I just tried experimenting with putting some pieces on the tower, and in places the surface jutted into the existing structure. Wen I removed them, the intersection remained damaged. When I try to repair it, it has the problem that I mentioned above.

I feel like I'm doing more harm than good...

The new biome is super buggy when it comes to repairing the existing structures.

The Granite blocks and Polished Granite Blocks don't properly mix with the existing ones, looking out of place even though they have the same design.

The Roof Tiles, which look like Granite Shingles give you Tarred Shingles when deconstructed, but thankfully at least mix well with the Granite Shingles you can build yourself.

Far as repairing in general, you only need to replace blocks on the edges of structures that look messed up, the ones towards the center will automatically look repaired at least. Best tactic is just place all the blocks you need to, then replace the broken ones after.

There is sooo much wrong with building in this game. I love the way the blocks look and the block-level customization, but anytime I do anything beyond gridded box structures I get frustrated and quit.

Half the time you can't get to the right spot to place what you want to place something, and once you do get there, you can't see what you're placing, so it takes you half a dozen random attempts.

Even if you can see it, you can't move around to see if it's actually where you want it or if it's off in the dimension that you can't see.

They're kind of on the right track with the modification tool (top row), where you can select the surface that you want modify, and that does work better, since it doesn't depend as much on your distance to the surface, but it still has it's issues.

I am not sure about your goals, but often you can temporarily remove blocks during construction.

I don't really see how removing blocks is much help, and not even really practical when you're renovating. The problem is that there's a limited range of space that you can be in to place a particular part, and the chances of that not being accessible is pretty high, especially in constrained build.

I noticed the top of the granite blocks we got dont actually match all of the granite walls and floors, only certain ones. is there like, another granite block other than the normal and polished variants?? its so bizare to me. lookingn at the top of the block, you can see they have different patterns.
