[DEPRECATED] Precision Engineering 2.0

This mod is no longer necessary, since the original modder has fixed the snapping issue in the original version. Yaaaay! I never actually intended for this mod to get bigger than the original; I'm no C# developer, like I said in the original description. It kinda got a lot more attention than it needed to, I just wanted to have my snapping back.

Anyways, please go back to using the original mod, and thanks for all the fish.

Precision Engineering 2.0

Since the update of April 2020 (for me at least) length snapping of highways, rail, metro and a ton of other networks broke. I cloned the original Precision Engineering and just started messing around in it, when I found something which fixed it for me. I published the fix, some other players tested it and confirmed the fix working. You'll find the updated source code at https://github.com/tunaflish/PrecisionEngineering.

The fix is basically always returning 1 unit as length snapping. The original mod only allows this snapping for zoneable networks, which is now removed. From my testing I found this works for any road (including highways), railroad and quays.

If you find any issues you can report them, but I'm no C# developer. I might be able to find other problems, but most likely not.

Big thanks to Simie, who built the original mod.
