📋 About This Mod
Scaffolding Snapping
This adds snapping support to DLC05 1x1 scaffolding and ramp elements, for base game, and potentially all other DLCs floors and foundations. Now you can ramp up to a gate, or show some love for the 1x1 scaffolding elements.

First timer btw. Thanks to all supporters Also, thank you @gizmoandback for the video review on Youtube. You're welcome.
Update 1. 1:
- scaffolding frames(2x2x2 and 2x2x1) allow other floors than the scaffold floor element to be snapped
- scaffolding floor(wood platform) allows for snapping other elements that were enabled to be snapped to the floor, for example you can snap windmills now if they have mod added floor snapping support, like Believable Windmills for example...
Guess my confusion when I figured out you couldn't use scaffolding ramps the way they're mend to be used. You couldn't build or snap them around or to any of the wooden, or concrete foundation elements. This little modification will fix that and probably enable snapping to any single floor and foundation element, no matter if base game or DLC imported.
Additionally this will also show some love to the 1x1 scaffolding frames, allowing them to be snapped to any floor or foundation, like their bigger brethren.
You may combine this with the Settlement Ambush Snapper Kit, and the Warehouse Corner Wall Snap, to be in perfect snapping heaven.
How to use and install?
It's a simple loose file mesh replacer, so it's up to you how to handle hit. You will need DLC05, which as far as I remember was the Contraptions Workshop DLC.
It doesn't look good when snapped!
You don't look good when snapped either!
Some Ladders and Ramps are not working on some of the elements all the time?
I know. It just works. Blame the floors and foundations. My scaffoldings are not responsible, nor are the ramps. Floors and foundations would often act like total bitches. I've been there. I wouldn't mess around with them at all. Floors suck! Foundations too!
Scaffolding Snapping adds snapping support to DLC05 1x1 scaffolding and ramp elements for floors and foundations. With 260 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads, it's a niche quality-of-life mod for settlement builders. Last updated in June 2022, it remains a useful tool for precise placement.
