The problem here is that this alternative placement is working with everything. When I build a house, I build 1 m pole around so it doesn't touch the ground, and I can increase the pole size for stability. The thing is, after placing the pole and a flood, I can't place a wall because the game doesn't allow me to place the wall on the floor, only above the floor floating or inside the floor, half-way in half-way out.

Using the alternative placement doesn't change... I'm aiming on top of the floor, the wall is floating above the floor, if I go down a little, the wall goes inside the floor. If I use the alternative placement, instead of being floating above and in the middle, it snaps down, and now the options are in the middle, and then below the floor.

Literally I can't connect two structures together... How do I fix this? What do I need to do to NOT having this alternative placement on? I simply want to make a square, I can't do a simple square because, after placing the first floor, all the other floors are half-way above it, floating, or half-way below it, also floating.

It's a broken, unless, nonfunctional feature that I can't turn off... I'll have to search for a mod to fix this BS.
