Error: attempting to place ghost entity in a blocked location

Nathan · August 26, 2016, 3:05am

Decided to place some critter traps because why not. An ogre attacked one of the critter traps, which then broke. A window popped up. Skimmed it and saw “Show this to a dev!” so I figured I’d go ahead and do that.

Thanks for the bug report! Can you also upload a save so I can take a look at the terrain and where it’s trying to place the ghost?

Nathan · August 26, 2016, 4:25am

Which of the file(s) should I upload from the save folder?

Lordnexus1000 · August 26, 2016, 1:29pm

The entire save file maybe? XD

Nathan · August 26, 2016, 4:09pm

I am assuming it’s client_state.bin, but there is also server_state.bin and metadata.json in the same folder. I don’t know the importance of either of those in sharing the save file.

linda · August 26, 2016, 4:57pm

Can you upload the entire save folder? It should include client_state.bin, metadata.json, screenshot.png, server_state.bin

Nathan · August 26, 2016, 5:11pm

Zipped the folder up and tried to upload it, but I got the following message:

Sorry, new users can not upload attachments.

So uh. What should I do?

linda · August 26, 2016, 5:35pm

You can also upload a download link. Do you have google drive or dropbox?

Nathan · August 26, 2016, 6:10pm

I do now. I have uploaded both the folder itself as well as the zip file. Let me know if this works.

This save is before the issue occurred, so I hope that’s all right. Also of the three traps placed, the one that was destroyed and resulted in the pop-up was the left-most one if you’re looking toward the town from the bridge.

Moving a placed item multiple times seems to duplicate the item in the build queue on the building it is placed on or attached to, creating multiple “ghost entities” that do not get resolved.

Came here to confirm this too. I ran into this just trying to move a piece of picket fence that had been placed improperly. Specifically, the new location I specified was partially overlapping the fence piece’s current location.

this occurred when a mob came and destroyed a clamp trap; i’m not sure if it’s related to the items at the edge of the world
