Hi! I dont know if the this is the right title or the right place to post it, if its not im sorry and please move it.
Ok... On to the subject.. I made a building smaller than default and set the selection scale to 0.10 and the scale to 0.40. It still has the default "radius" of the building so i cant place them even if there is alot of space on the map... Can you stack buildings? Or force the radius of buildings smaller? I even made a video to explain better:

In the Object Editor, there's a function named 'Pathing - Pathing Map'. This field decides which building's pathing is applied to this building. Your Altar of Storms building uses the Altar of Storms Pathing Map by default, which is the same Pathing Map used by all other Altars (as you can see in that field). Simply replace the default Pathing Map with a Pathing Map of a building with a smaller one. Just browse a bit through the available ones to see which fits best.

Do not uncheck Buildable there. That will allow the building to be placed anywhere. Not just by you, but also by players who can build it.

The Ground Texture however is the type of ground you see below the building on any terrain. Setting that to None will probably be smart if you scale your buildings smaller. It would look very weird to keep that at normal scale (since it doesn't scale along).
