**Title:Vanishing buildings

Iā€™m trying to level out steps using slabs to create steps one step at a time. it all goes well until I have them even and try to build a wall across 2 different buildings, then the wall vanishes, and if I hit to complete, the previous building vanishes (what was already built):**

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Build buildings right next to each other
  2. level out the areas between them with slabs.
  3. try to build across the slabs.
  4. I donā€™t know if this always happens

Hey there @GrandMoffTarkin, welcome to the Discourse! Thanks for the detailed bug report! Nice clear reproduction steps and an engine error!

Just to save you time in the future: while it will never hurt, we likely do not need a full DxDiag log unless you are submitting a performance related report or it is requested by a moderator/developer. In any case, the devs are doing a building related pass, so hopefully this will be resolved soon!

EDIT: I just got this Error

release-491 (x64)
...earth/services/server/build/scaffolding_manager.luac:48: attempt to index field 'fabricator' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
