[I was going to put this in general but I think this is just a slight bug with centering on the second floor. See the last paragraph.]
So, I unpacked everything in the new house and took great advantage of the attic since there was so much more um...stuff and it was good and with a few more tables and things I had a reasonable organization. I could then zoom out about halfway and it was easy to visually place things in the attic, and later retrieve them.
Today, I finished the second floor and *poof*! Everything in the attic ended up on the second floor. (That's no biggie and that's been mentioned already in another thread so I was expecting it and I don't think that's a bug, per se.)
The real problem is what I can see of the attic from the second floor is much smaller, less than half, it looks like, even fully zoomed out. (I was using filled firefly jars to separate piles of um...stuff in the attic and now I can only see about half their height.) It is possible to still place things there but it makes it harder to see and pick things from up there such as piles of peat or wheat bushels. Or the wood posts, which are thin and on an angle. And since I have to zoom out much more to see enough to get at things it is hard, for me, anyway, to see, and pick, the little things such as spare fruit tree beans.
I did an experiment. On my first floor, zooming out six times, I can see a good slice of the second floor and things resting on it. (And I'm pretty sure that was my view before the second floor--I usually run with five or six out zooms. It made it great to move things in and out of the attic.) Going to the second floor at the same zoom level, I can't see any attic at all and there's more of the first floor ceiling than I can of the ground back on the first floor. I had to go out at least nine to get any idea of what was in the attic and then it got really small.
