Geometric Placement

Something weird I noticed
Sorry to make a thread referring to (what I think is) a bug, but I just didn't think I could accurately explain this without showing an image. So I was building a row of chests and I suddenly saw this.

For some reason, an extra space was being blocked even though there wasn't anything else there. I fiddled around with it to try and figure out what was up and noticed that when I turned the mod off, I was able to put a chest in the spot that was being blocked.

I had the tighter chests option set to off by the way. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I think this happens due to rounding error (either in when things are saved/loaded or just on placement). Looks like you're using the camera-aligned grid which is rotated 45 degrees from the actual coordinates the game uses, which means that the grid points aren't "neat" numbers (they're things like 0.5*sqrt(2) instead of just 0.5 like with the tile-aligned grid). On the hexagonal grids I made them a tiny bit larger than strictly necessary to reduce this, but it would be weird for the square grids to have different spacing.

I don't think there's a great solution unfortunately :(

Ahhh okay then, thanks for taking the time to explain that. I'll just be sure to use the axis aligned square geometry when building in the future. Still love the mod!
