I don't know if someone asked about it or if it was suggested, I have no idea how to search about it, but...
Why don't the devs add an option for "building closet"? sometimes the buildings are arranged differently among the colonies and it can painful for the OCD players or just annoying.
An option for "building closet" will work as "edit mode" when all of the buildings (except city hall, pirate fortress and city wall) will move to the closet and then the player can rearrange them as he/she/it/whatever wants to. For example - the dumps/depots and warehouses will be in the same area of the city, or the architect's office/carpenter/firework test area/optician/wine cellar will be together, the museum and the tavern, etc.
You will not be able to confirm the new layout unless ALL of the buildings are placed, the "confirm" button will be grayed or there will be a notification. If the player confirms it anyway - the new layout won't be saved and it will remained as the origin layout before entering the edit mode.
The option may be cost some ambrosia if the company wants to earn some money at the expense of destruction and rebuild time.
