Tried to upload template but it wont let me. Version Number and Mods in use:
I’ve been getting this a lot too, you can see it right away when you try to build a roof underground (as blocks or floor or whatever) even if it’s mined out.
Also check to make sure if you didnt accidentally place an item in the blocks or walls, I had this happen and couldnt figure out why either, then is saw the little piece of item stuck in the wall, barely visable i erased it and they built the build.
Side note: if an item is on the wall and you shrink it sometime the item is stuck in the wall, only if the items and walls still exist like a corner
I also had that problem. It was caused by fences, placed by the border, in the second floor. As soon as I deleted them from the template the problem disappeared and the building was built.
In my case, it was caused by blocks placed atop a doorway, which weren’t connected to a wall. Sort of an archway. Check if the new structure is absolutely adjecent to another already finished building. The blocks tend to not show up.
I hope you guys aren’t giving examples where you had red blocks, this bug report is very specifically calling attention to the times the errors did not show as red.
The fences are now present in the furniture tab. I don’t know if the “fence tool” will be implemented.
I have had several cases in which unbuildable templates didn’t show the red blocks. The problem is you can’t pin point the problem because it doesn’t show. Finding out about the fences was a test and trial process of eliminating elements,
I’m also considering that when there is no “red block” showing the problem might be related to furniture, windows and doors, but this is just speculation.
If you guys can post the breaking templates themselves or savegames containing them (assuming the issue isn’t just a case of placement intersecting terrain), it will greatly help us track the issue down.
