      plan as of today the next thing that we've kind of confirmed is actually this is something that's been confirmed for update 5 in fact and that is build modes we plan on improving build modes in update 5. so uh one what we mean by that is just giving more

      tools or functionalities, whatever, just so that building gets less in your way, essentially.

      And one key thing that you can sort of think of here is that with Update 4, we actually fixed this thing called the cheatcrete, which is a piece of foundation that had some collision rules or no collision on it or something like that, that people used, that people sort of like leveraged to sort of game the system and create other kinds of...

      buildings that the general game rules didn't allow.

      They could snap things to it in a specific way.

      We fixed that bug that caused that.

      People didn't like that because now they weren't able to build what they wanted to build.

      So with these improvements in build modes, we want to make sure that when it comes to building, that the game doesn't get in your way as much, that we allow you to have the freedom you want to build what kind of structures that you want to build.

      So there will be some improvements to that, and hopefully that will result in more creative factories and less headaches for people.

      Next up, we've got updates on trains.
