We are listening closely to your feedback, and have identified and resolved a number of issues. These fixes are included in patch 3.63, which will be live on all platforms soon.

 
Patch Notes

  • Fixed an issue that caused debug-only base parts to appear in the Catalogue.
  • Fixed a number of snapping issues when placing fireplaces or NPC terminals to large rooms.
  • While base building, the rotation option now has acceleration to allow faster turning while still retaining detailed control.
  • Fixed a number of issues that could cause power lines to fail to appear.
