Hi Javbw.

Thanks for the feedback.
We don’t intent to map circus. I just had problems coming up with a good 
example for temporary building, so kinda resulted in some ambiguity around it.

I think in this case the user specifies the end-date when they fill in the 
preset. If he doesn’t specify the end-date we will give him the alert like: By 
not specifying the end date you mean this temporary structure is there for 
indeterminate amount of time and is not intended to be moved. Confirm / Cancel.

I think we also need a server-side that tracks such temporary buildings and 
remove them once the due date is reached? I doubt the user will go and manually 
remove the building one-month later even if we remind him.

So that is what we have classified as semi-permanent. (I have pointed in my 
previous comment)

So I guess just like we just said above - user doesn’t specify the end-date and 
he confirms that this is an indeterminate temporary feature (semi-permanent).

Does this goes well?

Thanks!

Best,
Taras.
