Why are tiny houses built with tower cranes?
Whoever's manufacturing tower cranes must be making absolute bank.

My guess, is we don't really need a hundred different construction types in the game. It might look cooler that way, but it would use up more resources that the game is already short of, since they tried putting everything into CS2 and now it severely overloaded.

Yeah I did not like it.... I didn't know a crane was needed to build a single floor home.

yeah, idk enough about coding to really know, but small density homes could be just like the tarp and slowly growing frame which i feel would be less computer intensive than cranes that are actively moving around, idk coding tho

I like the tarp idea over a crane for each house.

It is just a simple animation. Just like CS1 used scaffolding to build houses, and skyscrapers too.

There is really no differences. But If I had to call it, I would say the scaffolding takes more to build than a skinny, tall crane. Those scaffolding takes a while to build up, then tear down, before the building is complete. But cranes just wiggle around for a few, then the building just teleports into being. It doesn't construct it at all like CS1.

omg, people will literally ♥♥♥♥♥ about anything, even when it is COMPLETELY cosmetic and doesn't affect the game at all. lol

Maybe they will release later, doesnt seem like a top priority item right now.

maybe that sort of thing can be edited in the modding tools they boast?

IDK. But I am kinda disappointed with the construction animations we got in CS2 compared to CS1. All we got is an empty lot with a crane instead of actually seeing the building going up.

Not a big deal, but I was expecting that we would've seen a more detailed construction animation for buildings in CS2.

It's used as a visual indicator of the building's height.

maybe they are built with extremely heavy materials so only a crane can move them ;)
