On Build Mode one last time =)

About a year ago I stopped playing because building was so frustrating due to the many errors that can get you stuck…
Well, I see more and more features (unquestionable kewl stuff) added, but since reading about a new building system in development quite some time ago, it got completely quiet on that topic, even here on the forums…
To me ‘instabuild’ (or however its called) is an option which completely ruins the atmosphere.
So I’m kinda curious how everybody is playing while I sit and wait for an alpha where the very core system of the game is finally playable…
