Castle Planning Tool

[MentalKitten65]

Is there any option to zoom out when planning/building your castle? As someone with slight OCD it would be great to have a top down option/2D when planning out your castle. i like things symmetrical!!

I would love this, or at least a blueprint mode in the game. That would be awesome!

A blueprint mode would be fantastic!

this design stuff is raw and bad to the player to have:

you design and build a thing as the player
+
game slowly gives you the building options as you go, so you can't really be planned up in advance for building parts you don't even have yet or may not know exist yet
+
if you need to make changes to your build later on, like the game already made by design you will need to do, and the game penalizes you in building costs by not giving you back 100% of your costs when you have to tear it down and redo things.
=
that is not a fair design to the players, you are being unfair with them by design. The default settings should return 100% of the build costs.
OR you need to have a system that gives the player real agency over their build so they can be informed and planned up well in advance for what come along much later than their building begins.


This is currently an unfair cost system by design.

I'm still in my starter (solo) and it is getting super crowded, once I've got everything unlocked I plan to move to a bigger / higher level area using my other heart and using the basic wood to plot stuff out as best I can... it's not a perfect solution, but it's the cheapest since bricks take awhile and you don't get 100% back, I guess you could just change your settings to give 100% to negate it if you're solo like me... either way, seems like the wood is the most effective way for planning in terms of both cost and time, since you can get the logs in seconds vs waiting on bricks.
