How does repeated housing placement work?
YellowHeadVin demonstrates enabling Drag, selecting a house and holding left mouse while moving the cursor at 2:13–3:09 in his October 11 recording. Test a short row first: repeated placement also repeats the purchase and any resource requirement. It does not remove the road or utility condition on the selected building. This demonstration covers housing; it does not establish identical drag behavior for every object.
The building strip’s R turn prompt and the toolbar’s Rotate 6 label are two different interface affordances. Use the prompt attached to your current placement tool rather than assuming the toolbar digit is a universal building shortcut.
What travel control is demonstrated?
At 11:38–11:55, the October 11 creator points with the mouse and presses E to teleport. This is a recorded desktop action. We have not verified its availability in every game mode, current build or mobile interface; check the controls shown in your own session. Before using a movement shortcut, finish or cancel a construction action so a stray click does not place another building.
