I have encountered a strange bug. In my current town, I started constructing roads. While my hearthlings were building that road I began to design a wall around my town. That wall was built directly next to the road in one area. As soon as the design touched the road being built my building name changed from Building No. 50-something into building No. 20 (Which was the road) and the road voxels the hearthings had placed already disappeared. Now that road and the wall I was designing became one building. I decided to make it anyway and instant-build the wall/road combo.
Not thinking much of it I continued with my town and eventually started to design a tower on the upper tier right next to where that wall connects. Anything I design up there, if it touches that wall, becomes building 20 and part of this mega-structure.
I was going to build a tower next to the wall right next to that blue-roofed entrance.
One last thing to add: The wall/road was build using instant build console command, so its completed. However if I click on the building it opens the building editor and I can apparently pause construction/start construction. Pressing the button doesnāt do anything, the hearthlings still do their other tasks
Iām not sure if itās intended that youāre allowed to edit / add adjacent things while a building is being constructed. But if it isnāt, itās definitely a bug and / or an enhancement needed on the UI / system to prevent this situation at the moment.
The way ābuildingsā tag onto each other during construction seems really inconsistent and happens during building planning also, not just during actual construction. Iāve seen visually identical foundations become 1, 2, or 4 different ābuildingsā depending on the order I clicked and drew the specific tiles.
The shirt term solution seems to be to only have one active.construction at any one time, and save before each new construction starts building
Never click that start building button till theyāve started taking down the scaffolding and youāve clicked save.
I experience the separate buildings āmergingā under 1 name and becoming singular structure. Not sure but the inconsistency makes it feel like a bug.
However, Shurakai, the āPause Buildingā function is there so you are able to continue to edit a building during and after its construction. Notice the āEditā button becomes highlighted and selectable after pausing the build.
When building one house after another, it never happened to me. Yet when I design a new building with slabs, both get merged as soon as a slab part touches both buildings.
