**Title:** Hearthlings refuse to place certain items
**Summary:** Hearthings wont place a Forge, Anvil, Or bed anywhere near my blacksmiths house,
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Make a house for your blacksmith
2. Try to place a forge, anvil, or bed
3. wait for them to let you down
**Expected Results:** Your hearthlings wont let you down and will place the items
**Actual Results:** They wont place anything at all near it
**Notes:** They place other items just find, they still build buildings. I tried restarting, making new anvils and forges and used a console command to destroy the house and rebuild it š
**Attachments:**
**Version Number and Mods in use:** Release-491 (x64) Alpha 13

Was the structure completely built before you tried to place the items down? If not, they get added to the blueprint of the building, which for me tended to cause issues in the past.

Anyone able to replicate this bug? and maybe try and fix it? My save is pretty much at a stand still war between zombies, many goblins and hordes of skeletons at the moment because i cant make anything better than a stone maul XD
Edit: @jomaxro or @8BitCrab You two seem like super smart people. Mind helping me out a bit? I really want to continue my game but I cant because thereās only so far I can go without a blacksmith

@demonsage, when I download your savefile it says the file is not valid, and I canāt extract it.
From the link youāve provided, the .zip weights 6.1 MB, is that correct?
Did you wait until the file finished loading before clicking to post?
Maybe there was a problem when you uploaded it to Discourse. š

@Atralane was thinking about something else : when youāre building a house, you can add stuff around or inside the house and these items will be part of the house. However, if you wait for the end, the items will be placed apart from the house. And we know that thereās still a problem with the houses.
So if you added the items **while** the house was under construction, it may have bugged.
But check out your save, because @Relyss canāt download it š

Thatās a building error. Now it is confirm that your items are not placed because of your house.
Hurray @Relyss ! š

Yayyy. So does that mean we have a solution XD i was just attacked by like 6 undead and my one footman needs new gear before he gets stomped on. He can take like 4 at once but anything more than that and hes screwed
EDIT: So whenever I try to place the forge it says its added to the building and idk why because the building is finished
EDIT Pt2: Just got this error
release-491 (x64)

Can someone close this thread please? I fixed it, all I had to do was remove the overhang and rebuild it after for some reason ^-^ Guess it was in the way

Did you really tear up your entire house ? If so, youāre lucky because normally it bugs and you cannot.
So it was definitely a construction problem š

The destroy command may not work and usually you have to use the debug tool. Glad you did it without š
