Add a toggleable snap to item placements.
So I was using office desks to create partitions in my base (to separate beds from the rest of the base) and while the L shaped desks can be stacked they are hard to line up to allow placement and even then are still misaligned.

I would love to have a toggleable option to snap office desks and other similar items (cafeteria tables, file cabinets, barricades, water coolers, storage crates) together to make laying out a base easier.

Yeah, some sort of edge detection would be great for quickly lining things up! :steamhappy:

Giving this suggestion some attention because not being able to perfectly line up stoves, gardens, storage, etc is making me die a little inside

Yea, I spend way to much time trying to line things up. It also bugs me that corner armchair hitbox placement is way bigger than the chair and I cant align them how I want to.

This would be a massive quality of life addition to the game, especially when it comes to working with stuff like storage, barricades, beds, stoves and crafting benches. I can't understate how much time I've wasted during base building just to align objects, and I'm not even that much of a perfectionist.

Yeah, it'd be nice to be able to hold, like, Shift to snap to another object OR Ctrl to snap to a grid. And maybe using the scroll wheel while holding Shift could increase/decrease the distance between the two objects, and doing it while holding Ctrl could increase/decrease the size of the placement grid for finer adjustments?

I've been picturing in my head how this could look.

You have that colored ghost image, and you want to play said object next to another. You butt up the thing to another and you get two ghosts images. You get a very faint image of where you are actually aiming, as per normal, while the second more visible image is an auto rotated and auto snapped placement of that object.

If for whatever reason you did not want it to snap, you press some button (idk which off hand) and you go with the other ghost image.
