Difficulty placing items

Support Bug Reports
1

Summary:
When I attempt to add furniture, workshops or decorations in or on a constructed building the job is not created and the house will be unable to be furnished or decorated unless the furniture or decoration was part of the original building plan. I have been able to get around this by placing the item somewhere else first and then relocating it to where I actually want it to be placed.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Design a Building.
  2. Wait for Construction to complete.
  3. Use the Place Item (hotkey p) command to try and place an item inside or on the walls of the house.

Expected Results:
The job is made and a hearthling completes the task

Actual Results:
No job is made.

Notes:
Designing a building with furniture or wall decorations still works normally, and manually relocating an already placed item onto a build allows it to be placed.

Attachments:
None.

Just as an update, this bug only occurs on buildings using the old building system, the new one seems to allow items to be added after its build just fine.

+1. Also having this issue. It’s incredibly frustrating and also prohibits adding decor to templated buildings. My version is unmodded release-843.

Edit: Bumping the thread, as it’s fallen 13 days down the queue. Still an issue in release-848(x64)[M]. I was being a dumbdumb!

The old build system is no longer supported and will be disabled in an upcoming release.

I bumped this thread today not realising I was experiencing the bug from a building I’d previously had to use “ib” on to complete. This is a symptom of the old builder and my mistake.

Thanks for investigating.
