This game can't rearrange each room later.
After playing the game for a long time, I spent quite a lot of money to rearrange the rooms.

But there was a problem here.

There is a problem that rent inflation is going up ridiculously.
As a result of removing and reinstalling about 20 rooms, rent alone costs more than 100 million yen a week.

Is it a bug?

Sounds like a bug, I'll check it

I'd like to remind about this one - it is actually still part of the game after Update 20.

Despite it probably being a bug as you said I'd like to add it as a suggestion as well: Currently destroying a room at a given position will shift all other rooms of that floor to the left which is more than inconvenient - especially combined with the current excessive raise of the rent.

My suggestion would be to 'add' a functionality to 'replace' a given room with another one of the same size. In any other case destruction as of now would still apply. Codewise this could probably be accomplished by simply combining the destroy and add functions after making a check for the room size - so hopefully not a brutal biggy but actually a great rise in quality of life :)


P.S. The change in rent for a given floor is something that confused me from the get-go btw. Just as a thought for this: Why not go for a model where you have to rent an entire floor at a time (as would be the same in real life) and adjust the prize for adding, changing rooms instead? Adding a room costs like now but changing it cost both a destruction and a renewal fee etc. This allows for a more natural progression for the rooms especially in Sandbox games.
