The house toy has a cute little easter egg: If you remove all the foundation pieces of the structure, the remaining structure above starts bobbing up and down slowly, hovering - very subtle way to acknowledge "yep, I did in fact think about that case too".

in Townscaper, doing the same can cause propellers to appear beneath your structures
Hmm, how? All I see is stilts (in the browser version, at least, which I imagine should be the same as the Steam version).
An arc through the middle can cause no stilts or propellers!

(and, for posterity's sake, the shape with propellers is a donut).

Huh. Adding one sea level block to the outside of that doughnut leads to all the propellers disappearing but no stilts. Resulting structure does not look very likely. :)
Ahaha jeez, he really did think of everything.
It only appears in certain rare configurations. You need a section of town with no exterior corners.
Ahh I see, thank you.
