Hi, I was designing a building (a bridge across two hills) and suddenly it just stopped. I try and place a slab and nothing happens. The same for foundations, roads, etc… An error popped up: release-735 (x64)[M] …mod/components/dehydration/dehydration\_component.lua:52: attempt to call field ‘think’ (a nil value) stack traceback: radiant/modules/common.lua:245: in function 'report\_traceback’ radiant/modules/common.lua:256: in function ‘think’ …mod/components/dehydration/dehydration\_component.lua:52: in function ‘\_adjust\_status’ …mod/components/dehydration/dehydration\_component.lua:17: in function 'obj’ radiant/modules/events.lua:83: in function 'instance’ radiant/modules/events.lua:291: in function \ [C]: in function 'xpcall’ radiant/modules/common.lua:265: in function 'xpcall’ radiant/modules/events.lua:285: in function \ At first reloading the save fixed it, but it happened again and now it still doesn’t work after reloading. Please help I really want to finish my buildings. ☹ Here is another engine error report: release-735 (x64)[M] stonehearth/lib/build\_util.lua:471: assertion failed! stack traceback: radiant/modules/common.lua:245: in function 'report\_traceback’ radiant/modules/common.lua:256: in function \ [C]: in function 'assert’ stonehearth/lib/build\_util.lua:471: in function ‘can\_start\_blueprint’ …earth/components/fabricator/fabricator\_component.lua:904: in function ‘\_start\_project’ …earth/components/fabricator/fabricator\_component.lua:585: in function ‘\_updates\_state’ …earth/components/fabricator/fabricator\_component.lua:574: in function 'obj’ radiant/modules/events.lua:83: in function 'instance’ radiant/modules/events.lua:291: in function \ [C]: in function 'xpcall’ radiant/modules/common.lua:265: in function 'xpcall’ radiant/modules/events.lua:285: in function 'trigger’ radiant/modules/events.lua:398: in function '\_trigger\_gameloop’ radiant/modules/events.lua:446: in function '\_update’ radiant/server.lua:61: in function \ ---

That dehydration component must be from the cafe mod, but I have no idea why it would affect building (probably the AI broke?) That second error does seem related to building. Are you able to click on a building design and remove it? Could you upload the savefile? ---

Where are the save files for Stonehearth? I can’t remove a building design that is already placed, but I placed a new template house and then removed it fine. ---

(Forgot to paste the instructions): 1. Find the save folder for the saves you wish to upload. By default, they are located in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\saved_games` (assuming a default Steam install). 2. Zip the folder. 3. Right click the folder (should be a long set of numbers). 4. Left click on `Send to` in the menu that appears. 5. Left click on `Compressed (Zipped) folder). 6. _(Optional)_ Rename the folder to something different than the default set of numbers. 7. Upload the save. 8. If the zip is less than 10 MB, you can upload it directly. Either use the upload button ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex022/uploads/stonehearth/original/3X/f/0/f0695c0a3009b1d69bedbdc9aaa3eb46eee4585d.png) or drag and drop it into the compose window, 9. If larger than 10 MB, upload it to a cloud storage site like Dropbox, Google Drive, File Dropper, etc. and post the sharing link here. ---

I wonder if it could have been caused by the mod somehow? But it doesn’t have anything related to building, besides some furniture. 🤔 I’m sorry but this looks beyond repair, do you have a previous savefile (before the errors appeared) that you can go back to? Somehow it can’t retrieve the buildings anymore.
