Purpose

This mod attempts to achieve two goals
1. expand and improve the way vanilla items snap with eachother
2. add extra items with same functionality as the vanilla items

What it changes:
Ads extra snap points to all elements, allowing combinations such as roof+floor, railing+roof, stacking elements (roofs, floors, prefabs etc.), junk wall+junk wall/junkwall+wall etc.
What it ads:
Bridges, supports, walls, roofs, junk walls and several more.


Future Plans
More metal options (walls, floors, roofs). Interior and exterior doorways for both wood and metal, as well as junkwalls; more railings; various small
pieces with complex snaps to allow creating custom bridges/walls.


Known Issues
Stacking snap points can be finicky for prefabs - best to try to stack them from above levels.
Supports can refuse to snap, most likely due to collision.
If you find any other issues, feel free to list them and I'll try to get around fixing each.


Compatibility
This mod will conflict with any mod that changes vanilla categories. Fixed by installing Settlement Keywords and the SK versions of all your workshop mods.
This mod will conflict with any mods changing the nifs of the vanilla workshop items. Possible fix is to choose mod to win conflict and install chosen mod second.


FAQ

Q: already has .
A: Feel free to use that mod instead.

Q: Found a bug!
A: Report it in the bug section or in comments.

Q: How did you do this? Are you a wizard? Are you Jesus?!?
A: Just like anyone else - learned how to after fumbling around the tools for hours and hours, with help from people that already knew. I'm not a wizard (failed to reach 30 years of virginity), nor Jesus (did you see what that dude had to go through? Did you see what he does when he's left to take the wheel??)
Will try to create a tutorial on how to add snap points to items. At some point..

Q: Your mod broke my game/my saves/my computer/my life/killed my cat etc..
A: Backup your save files. And this won't break your game unless you have incompatible mods. As for others.. no it didn't.

Q: Will you add ? How about patch for ?
A: Depends. Probably won't make too many patches (use SK!). Maybe features, if they're doable with my limited knowledge.

Q: I did not read the description and I don't care about you and your mod and you suck and this sucks 420blazeitxxx360 etc.
A: Ramblings like this won't be tolerated.

Q: Is this compatible with ?
A: Read description.

Q: Can you help me with my issue?
A: Depends. I will try, but make sure you provide a full load order and what you already tried to make it work. And no, won't sort your mods if you have a bazillion installed.

Q: Can we be friends?
A: As long as you don't try to bite me.
