House Placing Timer
@Community Manager / @Kyronix
Is there anyway we can change the house placing timer (either the time or mechanics)?
I re-subbed an account because I am currently completely out of storage so I figured why not resub to get a quick 1k+ storage. I'm on ATL so the housing is at a premium (which is fine) but for me running around trying to find a spot that's bigger than 8x8 I'm running into some major problems because I'll place a house in a spot that looks good but get the message that it won't fit so I either need to try the next size down OR move it 1 tile in any direction.
After just 1 unsuccessful attempt I'm getting this error about attempting to place too many times and now I need to wait a random amount of time. I understand the bullying of the house placement tool with scripters but as a legit person just trying to place the biggest house I can on a scared property shard this is very frustrating.
I'd also be fine with keeping it how it works BUT change our ability to "size up" a potential plot... like create a "house prospect tool" that just gives a Yes / No if a house could be placed in a given spot. It doesn't actually need to place the house, it would just be to see if an X size house could be placed there so we didn't need to keep retrying using a house placement tool.

I guess it would get covered under that, but I wasn't trying to get anything changed about IDOCs... I wouldn't touch that with a 10ft pole.
