In short, this game is and can be both a Blessing, a Nightmare and a curse for Creative Sorts & Types who have or are overly Neurotic/OCD.... to say when building in mass on Walls in sequences. (hands up if one of us, eh)
To say it is SO satisfying to having all those well aligned Wall Lockers and such in one's Cyclops or their Battery/Cell chargers on the same level proper for their Recharge Stations / Cylos when making a forwards or main base.
It is also every so painful and slow (if you know the feeling) to get 'just right,' or bugging to watch someone that does it 'wrong.' lolz....
To help people save time, while retaining ''creative freedoms'' I suggest allowing another page for the Base Tool for Wall & Floor Building Templates that we can put for free onto a wall or Section of Flooring per our wants or needs that has the points for Centers, 3rds or Pairs or 4ths such divisions at a specific set of heights pre-set as Hardpoints we can snap to then while we are building.
In this way, we can make our bases and larger Vehicle "Base Craft" units w/o the need for extra memory used nor limitations placed on us, so to say, but by the same point have standards we can make use of where we feel the need and saving tons of time.
- not to forget the matters of our OCD cravings for us with those issues.
*basically, you build your structure like a Multipurpose Room, then for a wall or floor area section you can again "Right Click" to call up the tabs that you have selecting the 'Templates' one as would for any others, selecting the kind of overlay you need for your Wall or Floor space that will neatly "click" into place such as when making an internal module or if adding an external construct.
From there per the prefered hardpoints partern chosen, things you make to place in that area will 'click' along into proper spaces.
(Not 100% required, it would again would be so nice to have as an option for those not looking for order vs a sloppy 'min max.')
Sound like something you'd use regularly to make building more fun and more quick / satisfying in this or future expansions?

With this you could simply select the template for a '3x3' hardpoints wall and keep adding for each wall then right-clicking or using "E" to stop using the tool when done making Wall Lockers or other things;
Rather than fighting with things for 30 to 45 min it took about 2 to 5 min and things look great.
(and your neurocies didn't flare up giving you a headache)
OR you are setting up your "Gardens" inside a MPRoom or your Outside ones, same deal.
If the Base Panels don't get built in hardpoints at some point this would again save so much time...
for those wanting to use it and by the same not hindering those not concerned with it.
