Only Able to Move Buildings in Village Edit Mode

TL;DR - Don't allow buildings to be moved unless the user is in village edit mode, because accidental movement happens far to often and any precisely chosen location may be forgotten.

I know a million people have to have mentioned this already because it's such an obvious flaw, but I can't find it anywhere (so please forgive me if it has been mentioned elsewhere).

I personally have spent a great deal of time deciding the exact best placement for a building (making sure it is far enough so that troops have to travel a greater distance, yet close enough where archers won't be able to snipe them without being in range of defences), just to later on accidently move the building when trying to scroll. Then I don't remember the exact spot it was at, and I have to do it all over again. It's also just generally annoying to constantly be moving buildings that you don't want to move, then having to move them back.

Since there is already a village edit mode (which in its current state is almost redundant, other than the ability to temporarily remove buildings and easier wall placement), I'm confused as to why the ability to move a building outside of edit mode even exists. It would make more sense if the default view solely lets you operate your village (build troops, collect resources, etc.), and the village edit mode solely lets you move your village.

How do I even know if this was read? There are no replies, etc.

think thats annoying try looking for one wall or a small bomb after noticing its not where it should be & you moved it acccidently.

This makes sense

Agree 100%. At least make it so you have to double tap a unit or something to move it in the main view screen. I get that it would be a pain to have to go to the village edit tool any time you wanted to make a minor mod or move something so you could see things more clearly. But the accidental movement of stuff is SuperAnnoying, SuperCell!

the only problem is that town hall lvl 2 and 1 people cant use the village edit mode so this might have to be thought out about. this is basically saying that those people cant edit their village

I find that every once and a while, I see something out of place or just looks weird, like a trap or building. So why take the extra time to press on the button, move object, and save the layout when you could just simply move it? I like the idea, but there really isn't a big need for it

Two thumbs down

And may I add.... Accidental wall upgrades when collecting loot quickly.....

One loot collection button like the new feature, one button to repair traps/certain defences...

I would love to see this being implemented. It gets annoying after awhile when buildings or walls are accidentally moved. It should be the same standard with war bases. You can only shift stuff in edit mode, and it should be consistent with our regular farming bases.
