GridPlacement 5.1 (Development)

GridPlacement 5.1 (GDScript) docs: Development version with bug fixes and improvements over stable 5.0.

This section documents GridPlacement 5.1 (GDScript).

  • Canonical name (5.1+): GridPlacement (forward-facing naming).

  • Legacy-only naming: GB / GridBuilding remains in many type names and the addon path (res:/addons/grid_building) for compatibility.

  • 5.1 goal: keep the addon stable for existing projects.

  • New development goal: use the 6.0 C# service architecture and treat Godot nodes as thin adapters over Core workflows/services/state.
