Roads and building connections

Roads and freely placed buildings are part of the current game description. Detailed snapping behavior in older guides changed during testing.

September test evidence

The September 9 patch describes trimming roads along their length and highlighting a building connected to an isolated road segment. Those notes are historical, not a confirmed EA controls guide.

Check a connection before scaling

When evaluating a layout, record whether the game reports a connection and whether that road belongs to the wider network. Visual proximity alone is not enough to infer service access.

Avoid old snapping assumptions

A July development post described combined snapping options. The later test patch says building and road snapping cannot both be enabled. Use the current UI as the final check.
