**Summary:**  
I had built a one block wide wall all along the perimeter of my base. Then I wanted to expand it to make a several blocks wide wall so my hearthlings could walk on it (so the archers could attack invaders from above). I started putting down some walls with a custom flat roof and some blocks on top to make like a castle like wall. All of a sudden I was unable to put down more blocks. When placing new walls, the game will act like they got placed, but nothing would happen. I deleted part of what I had designed but now I am unable to remove the last part of the design and when trying to build it instead, the hearthlings never build it. When I click “start building”, close the building window and open it again, I can click “Start building” again. I am completely unable to build anything now - even other buildings away from the wall. I tried reloading the game several times and do a check of the game cache. When starting the game, I get the following error:

release-663 (x64)

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. Build walls with custom blocks on top
2. Delete and rebuild some blocks (changing my mind on the design during the build)
3. 

**Expected Results:** Being able to place blocks as desired and being able to start the build when done

**Actual Results:** Unable to place more blocks/walls and unable to place current blueprint.

**Version Number and Mods in use:** No mods installed

The only thing I build in this game so far is this wall:

Hey there @BanniBN, can you upload the affected save?

To upload a save, locate the folder in  
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\saved_games` (assuming a default Steam install), zip the individual save’s folder (not the entire `saved_games` folder), and upload it. If the `*.zip` is less than 10 MB, feel free to upload it directly to the Discourse. If larger, please upload it to a cloud storage site like Dropbox, Google Drive, File Dropper, etc. and post the sharing link here.

@BanniBN, can you try again in A19? I just loaded up your save and am able to build the short wall by the door, as well as a “Tiny Cottage” that I placed down from the built-in templates.
