A quick A15 D2871 update on my Watchtower template:
- I redesigned it fresh on D2871 (same design, just made the template again fresh).
- The builder no longer wigs out when designing it or when trying to place it in the world (YAY!)
- Discovered that you apparently can’t delete windows or roofs once they’re placed on a building. Sad day.
- Generated a builder engine error by console-destroying the windows from the design instead. (or at least I think that’s what caused it, because once I reloaded the game, removed the in-progress design and placed my freshly saved template instead, I didn’t run into the engine error again).
- The build can be started this time! (YAY!)
- My Hearthlings actually built the building swimmingly, all the way up until the final floor and the slabs that make up the rooftop and battlements, where the build abruptly stalled indefinitely.
** I would have used the builder’s pre-made battlement roof, but the builder UI doesn’t let me erase parts of the floor, to provide a path up from inside the tower, so I made my own with the floor tool and slabs. - Sidenote: Because my design has a fully-functional spiral staircase interior, the required scaffolding was … intense. I had to chop down a great many extra trees just to cover the scaffolding cost (something the new building materials calculator does not take into account; or if it does, it doesn’t do so accurately, as I ran out of wood midway through the build due to the excessive scaffolding). On that note, love the new building cost summaries! Thank you!
