Templates Exist But wont Place

Support Resolved Reports
1

So basically I have made buildings and then saved them to templates. And they exist in the templates drop down menu, and in the files, But when I click on them nothing happens. Some of the templates do continue to work while others don’t.

Steps to reproduce:

I don’t know at the moment, it seems rather random.

Expected Results:

Template places and you can begin building.

Actual Results:

Nothing happens, sometimes error message.

Numerous building bugs have been fixed on the unstable version (“latest” in the Steam betas list). Does this issue still occur there?

3

Ah yes, it is fixed. Now though, I have a problem with placing the template, in that it can only be placed on the edge of something. The only template that does this is a watch tower I build from the ground up using single blocks.

If you upload it we can take a look at it. The templates should be inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\saved_objects\stonehearth\building_templates.
You’d need to zip them since Discourse doesn’t allow direct upload of json files, I think.

At first sight something seems fishy with the blocks semantics (part of the floor is designated as “walls”) but I’m not sure if that’s what’s causing it to have bad placement :confused:

7

Hey, thanks for all your help. It seemed to just be an extra block somewhere on the bottom preventing placement. Its fixed now.
