New "3x3" Big compartment has Big Problems

[eak125]

1. Not actually 3x3. If you snap 1x1 compartments to 2 sides, you can't place a 3rd in the middle.

2. Doesn't Snap correctly. If you use the snap feature, the big compartments don't line up vertically. Great if you're gonna stack 10 and make a leaning tower of piza (slight overexageration but not really)

3. Claustrophobic. Can't add windows to the curved bits. Actually better to build with individual parts than spend the time trading but then you are stuck with inside walls...

One is true but I made mine work around it. 3 Also true but the other 3x3 pod which you got to unlock through trade as well Has windows plus a dome to it. Just got to get 25,000 tokens to do it. I am half way there to getting it right now LOL

The 3x3 without a dome seems to have little point to it. The only good place I can find to use it is as the storey below the 3x3 with a dome.

The 3x3 with a dome is the biolab building, just without any furniture in, and with doorways in all four directions, not just two. You can put one on top of a building and have something with excellent views in all directions. It can add a fun living level above a serious work base.

I put 1x1 compartments around it in a ring and had no problem. Start on one side, then build it around in a ring. The ring of 1x1s connected to all four openings of the 3x3. (I used the 3x3 without a dome if it matters.)

I had expected the 3x3 to be a bigger 2x2. I don't like the curved corners.

I do agree that Windows for the Curved areas would be really nice

i really like the new 3X3 compartments. i also built a ring around it so it gits in with the rest of the base. As for the round corners makes the room look a bit different so again i like it but each to there own
PS: when building a ring around it , you get 4 small areas outside which you can put things in makes a nice little hidden area

The one thing I don't get about the 3X3 is why make the doors too big to snap to the other compartments. It is the main thing from this update that I hope the remedy in an upcoming update.
