Finding it hard to get building items to snap together
I noticed when i'm building even simple things like wood floors i have to get the mouse cursor right on the lip of the joining floor piece for it to snap in position. This is quite tedious at times and i noticed in the bottom corner there is a keybind that says "L-Shift - Toggle Snapping Options"
Is there anyway i can improve the building snapping or is it a known annoyance, coming from games like Conan Exiles everything just snapped really easily into place when building in that game. I've tried pressing shift and toggling the snapping options but nothing appears to happen.
Any tips from any pro builders?

Aim your cursor at the edge you are trying to snap to.
Sometimes the camera angles do not allow you to.

It actually works a little better than it did before the update. You can place vertical beams on the ground in roughly the correct position and they will snap to the corners of flooring floating above it. Great for building bridges and balconies etc.

I've found that changing my view helps sometimes. Hide your hammer. Adjust your view as you normally would to get a better view. Un-hide your hammer and use it. I've had to play with this some, but it helps. Also getting above your build point using ladders helps.

The tip i learned on a video is that its easier for the game to snap things together if there is another piece of the same building behind it. So just build a wall or a pole behind it and it will make it easier to snap. Althoug i do still wish the devs implemented something like "hold ctrl to snap to nodes only"
