Building "rules" for building.

So from experience of building a roof and other pieces of the raft, I've noticed a few things:
- To build a roof, you need either a wall or a floor / foundation piece, or a window or door.
- A roof can support floor (not sure about walls though... Haven't tried that).

However:
- A roof cannot be built on support beams if there are two support beams close enough to do such.
- Three support beams, in respect to this, cannot support a corner roof tile either. Nor one support beam support a corner roof tile.
- Neighboring roof tiles cannot support roof tiles. This especially applies to corners.
- Ladders cannot be built atop anything other than floor / foundation.

As per these observations:
- I wish that roof tiles could be built upon support beams, or that those triangular wall pieces could do the same perhaps for roof tiles. Or also that triangular pieces might be able to be upside down to support floor. Make it so that you could have verticle supports? Or if two floors neighbor a gap, a floor could be placed there as well. (In retrospect, two floor tiles with a one floor gap could support a floor in between. This would still not allow someone to "bridge" through the air as they'd need something opposing the floor tile, and supporting said floor tile anyway to do that. :) )
- I wish ladders could be placed against walls or could span support beams, or be placed upon support beams? I'd like to make a crow's nest... but having supports with floors just to be able to place the ladders awkwardly up is strange... I suppose raised platforms could work too but...
- It's too bad roofs can't be placed upon two neighboring support beams. I'd like a gazebo out on the high seas. :)

Also, I'm not sure if stairs or anything should be allowed to be built upon collection nets? The nets themselves are an interesting anomaly: You can create them like an item, then place them onto the raft like the other objects that snap to the grid. Then...? You can pick them back up, but you can also build stairs and other things upon them. Anything though relying on the foundation the collection net creates will vanish if you pick the net up. You can't build railing on collection net edges though from what I can tell.

Just my thoughts through my gameplay I thought I'd share. :)

Roofs, in a way, are kind of broke as they are. You don't need supports for them. If anything, you can build a ramp as far out as you'd like with roof peices, then place a floor piece right after that, then you can put support poles or walls on that, and build whatever you want on top of that.

If you work things right, you can have pretty much any sized slanted roof for your raft, and not need any supports in the middle. But it is annoying when trying to make certain things, and can't get the required supports needed to get a roof started.

Well, what I'm saying is I would want to do something as simple as have a roof covering the area at the base of my raft, but no walls or doors or windows immediately there. I'm not looking to make really CrAzY or wacky designs... "gazebo" like I said. XD

More often than not I've done that trick of "ramp to the sky" just to get to frustratingly tall islands as a last ditch resort. But thanks.
