General Tip and Tricks
This guide will come up with some general tips and tricks to fix certain in game issues or work around them. Updates will keep coming as I see more things as a problem and figure out (myself or through others) how to fix/workaround.
Snapping issues and horrible zoning problems
The Problem
I love making a straight grid (probably compensation, IYKWIM).
And it is so impossible sometimes. The actual grid option, does not work and snapping has weird multiple ways to snap at the same angle + length and not be perfectly snapped with all of them.

Post Terraforming Water issues
The Problem
Once you terraform water away, so that you can build there. The game does not always register that the water is gone and keeps thinking you are not allowed to build there. It does, however, allow you to build water drains there, since it is “meant to be placed in water”.
The Workaround / Fix
Water and its locations seem to be reloaded on restarting the game. Simply save the game if you Terraformed some water away, quit to desktop, restart and the invisible water will have been drained.
