One of the most frustrating building systems I've ever had to use.
In general I am enjoying the game, until it came time to build my house - specifically the roof. I have spent over an hour trying to get the pitched roof to snap to, with no success, The mouse wheel rotates the building piece on three sides of where I want, but never to the fourth side, where I need it to. Shift + mouse wheel does exactly the same thing as the mouse wheel. There is no useful snap-to option, no key to rotate 90 degrees, no ability to line a piece up between two existing pieces.
I had looked forward to making a dwelling, you have made it nothing but a source of frustration.

Same here. I eventually managed to finish the roof just to realise that the pieces actually don't fit together at all and all overlap each other in the wrong angle (the triangle pieces to finish the curved sections). Not sure why they released it like this without even trying to test it clearly. Other than the terrible building and lots of reused resources across the world the game is fun so I am hoping this will be addressed and fixed.

it really helps to unlock the camera when building it makes things so much easier

You are crazy, you can literally fly

Yeah, I gave up tilted roofs a long time ago. Aside the pain in the bum of making them, I don't see why I should give up an entire level that could hold solar panels, farm plots and other stuff.

Oh, just in case someone say something, not defending the crappy snapping system, if they added tilted roofs, they should work properly.

SOmetime it's works better if you destroy some pieces and go on again.

building is quite buggy now, you can place a wall/ floor tile first, then after snapping to it, delete the wall. That's how I built my house. It doesn't work all the time but sometimes it works.

Same than Conan.
Place you in the same way than you want to place the piece.
If some piece cannot be placed, you don't have enough stability, if you have stability and you still cannot place the piece, you need to inverse the placement of piece.

You don't imagine how it was when Conan released, thanks actually everything changed

i fugured it out after almost uninstalling over this ♥♥♥♥ if the piece dont snap just destroy the ones around it and try again somehow it just gets stuck sometimes, so fcking frustrating

I agree with the comments about needing to destroy objects next to where I want to place a wall or roof, but eventually you need to place the last piece. I spent almost an hour getting my house roofed, none of that time was fun (but I get a little obsessive sometimes, and refused to be beaten by bad game code)

I finely got the pitched roof but could no get the triangle wall pieces to fit. I had to remobe the roof and put the walls first then fight the roof all over again.

i had problems snapping in fly mode. once i didnt do fly mode it was fine.

It's workable if you're determined enough. But the auto "snap to" registry is one of the most atrocious I've ever come across.

If you plan to build anything other than a standard rectangular building it becomes a nightmare. You constantly have to disassemble things or build extra infrastructure around something just to get a piece where you want.

For example, try building with the fan 1/4 semi circles. You'd assume you could just place them, then add the slice filler pieces to make a square. Nope, doesn't even register it exists. You have to build extra squares all around it, try and find the correct angle to put the filler piece in first, then the 1/4 circle. And there better not be a curved wall, stairs or anything else beside it. or you're removing everything re-placing until you find a SPECIFIC order it can deal with....

Just so people are aware, I found that if you are in fly mode, and place a corner roof down on the ground, you can place a proper corner roof on the wall above it in a corner, it's stupid but it works for now. Frustrating that it took me an hour of trying different ways to drop a single corner piece.
