@CatSaar both of the issues you describe have existed in the game from the beginning and both have to do with building a roof on the same level of a room that intersects with or covers the room (and it applies to any level, including the ground floor). With regard to your first image, if you turn your camera angle to a more straight on angle, you should be able to get a view of the whole room, albeit still having the roof above it (so no topdown view). You could eliminate this by moving the portion of the roof that is covering the room to the level above it, so that it will properly disappear when you are on the room's level. The rule of thumb is to only build roofs on a room's level that won't cover the room and to go up a level if you need a roof above the room. Regarding your second image, I do think this is a bug and actually reported it ages ago here. That report was submitted before we had the new reporting template, so I'd rather link to it from your report than resurrect it. The game does not handle a roof intersecting a room properly if that roof is elevated above the room's height. The workaround is to lower the roof until the visual glitch is no longer visible or to leave one tile between the roof and room. I will go ahead and add your report to our list as Needs Input, in the hopes that we get more "Me Too's" and maybe get it addressed in a future patch.
oh I didn't know it was an old bug as I used to be able to do rooms like that. I tried splitting it in a top roof and side pieces but couldn't get them to align properly so it looked wonky. Also changing camera angle didn't bring any solution to actually getting a workable room.
The second pic I got a similar problem with another build I recently made. It seems to happen when a room touches the roof and the full side or a part of the side of the roof disappears. Luckily with that last one I managed to work around it cus it was only a part of the side and not the full side as in the picture. I'll me too the other report as well. But if this has been a long time running bug I guess it's time to scrap a bunch of build ideas that I have. Thanks for the reply!
