The orbit function orbits the last selected piece, FYI...to pan slowly, hold down the middle button/mousewheel.
Thanks for your input. However it didn't help much.
On another note, MY GOD THIS IS BUGGY.
I tried creating a little village on a little island just to get used to using the engine, and when I reloaded it some of the buildings disapeared, the land was floating above the water someone, and it was just garbage. I tried doing the same thing again, and still the same results, this time different buildings were missing.
I can't believe the game developers put up with these bugs for 2 years without going insane.
