Half Width Walls (2 meter)

[Daaniea]

Numerous times when I'm was building, I came across an annoyance when I was creating small buildings or needed buildings in a specific dimension.
I needed a 2 meter (half a regular 4x4 square) wall. With the smaller grid added, it makes sense that there also are half width walls.
Most of the time you can just overlap two 4 meter walls to create a 6 meter long wall and be done with it, but when you want to have a 2 meter wall, you have to find other solutions.

Of course, Planet Coaster is supposed to be a challenging game. But many of my creations would have benefited from having half walls.
Other parts of a building are good to have as well in a 2 meter size, but the walls are the most useful.

But for now, this image can only exist in our imagination:

funny, just needed exactly that 5 minutes ago [wacky]

usually i workaround this way:



but if your gap between floor and lintel needs to be higher, you're forced to use flat scenery parts, which crashes the entire look if you're working with wood - or you need to build entirely custom walls.

so i agree, 2m walls would be great. and rather than having different measures of same wall types inside the building selection, it would be rational to add a measure property to such items. and if such a decision is already an option - please do it with a slider tool with smaller steps of 1m up to 4m (metric system)

Have asked for this very thing several times since the game was in Alpha. So far all requests seem to have fallen on deaf (dev) ears!

That's usually the way I do it to. But more often than not, that solution isn't possible in the situation I'm in. So I often have to redesign a chunk of my build to solve it.
After getting frustrated the first 10 times this happened, I learned to mostly plan for that problem in advance. But it still is annoying to take into account all the time.

I have longed for 2m wall widths since the games release! Sometimes I can work around it with the coaster surround pieces, but not always. It seems such a simple thing that if we have 2m (and now 1m) grid widths, that there should be corresponding wall widths too. 4m only is very restrictive to work with sometimes - and not all of us can afford the framerate sacrifice using double the amount of other walls/columns/ad-hoc pieces just to replicate what one small wall piece could achieve. Makes me very sad [cry]
