    Improvement for placing new buildings/objects

    I would love it if you could go to settings and choose to hide all buildings while in "construction mode" or somehow make it easier to see which squares are free/used. Or something in the same style as MW.

    It is difficult to re-arrange sometimes - takes a lot of time - I don't play MW so don't know what it does but I think there is room for improvement here.

    BTW - I think you are in my mob but now sure - is your game name the same?

    Yes it is the same, but you are not in my mafia. I just added you
    I have some hidden turrets in my hood wich is squeezed inbetween buildings (like Beach Nightclub). Would be nice to see if I could fit another one in there.

    and can I ask you - want is your next hood expansion cost at. Sometimes it's difficult to tell where I am in hood size compared - unless I count all the pavement squares......lol

    It would be nice to hide building for this reason alone. I have so many hidden turrets I can't find them all! There would have to be a way to select hide money/defense building, or hide all.

    And a feature that hides decorations would be a must for "construction mode" (should probably be renamed, but whatever, I'm ok with calling it that here).

    Are you using an Iphone?
    I assume you are because on my IPad I don't think others can see my decorations - trees etc.

    I know there was a technical post about this a while back - do you know if there is something in the works to fix that because it seems odd to me.

    I am using an iphone, if you are using iphone 3g there might be some unresolveable issues because apple doesn't support further ios updates. Other than that, I don't know anything

    I am using an iPad, but I meant that when you're trying to move stuff around you can't avoid clicking on a tree or some other two square object with a five billion square click radius. If I could hide my decorations while moving buildings it would be much easier. So if there is ever anything like the "construction mode" idea suggested in this thread, it needs to have a "hide decorations" option in addition to whatever other features it may have.

    I'm a bit of a nerd - I use a spreadsheet to keep track of exactly where my buildings are. Column width of 1 and row height of 9 and I'm all set.

    Yeah - ok I get that.

    Now did you buy decorations for a reason - like to hide building levels?

    Because I stupidly did and then realized that others (unless they are on an Iphone or Ipod) can't see them so they are pointless for that reason.

    Hiding your building level doesn't really help, as people will most probably rob your high payout buildings and/or the best rp/xp ratio buildings no matter what. All you have to do is look at your profile to see if you most probably have all level 1 buildings or not.
    If I find someone hiding their buildings I hit all of them once just to be a jerk
