I have a little problem with my crates. I added this new model to my Md but unfortunately i have some trouble with the code. after adding it it’s impossible to place a crate above another one. I have this problem also with all the other crates after adding this object to the mod. Why? Someone can help me with this problem?

Here are the crate files. Hopefully this ones help to find the problem…

I haven’t been able to place crates on top of crates even in vanilla A22.

It has seemed the only way to get one object on top of another is to first place the second object close to it, so it’s deployed, and then move that object to be on top. For some reason it never works directly from being in a stockpile.

if i’m not mistaken, this change was made because items on top of other items were having bad side effects with pathfinding and such… could be wrong though

What you could do to place them over eachother is to first just place them in the world and once they been out in the world you should be able to put one of those over the other one 🙂 might not be safe to do tho like @8BitCrab said however
