Watch tower won't build - lua error

Support Previous Build Reports
1

Summary: I’ve made a building that generates an error when placed. Not only that, but the required items to make it seems to change before and after placement. It’s a watch tower, and I’ll try to link the file to it somewhere.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Place watchtower in world.
  2. Feel the pain and sadness of regret.
  3. Get an error message and feel heartbroken.

Expected Results:
My awesome watch tower would be placed in the world.

Actual Results:
I get an error that’s less than awesome, and my watch tower is not placed in the world.

Notes:
One is for the attached building file, one is for the picture. They’re taken from my buildings_template folder.

I think there is an issue with the json or the build it self. Made a fresh peacefull game. Put down the template and it shows the bottom gone. Only when i order them to build it will the error appear.

Did you make this with the free standing walls, instand walls or with slabs? It looks very nice and i would guess made with slabs. maby there is still an issue with that

3

The entire structure is made with just walls/floor/foundation. All the stuff on the top of the tower is made with slabs. I’m not sure why the bottom disappears, but it’s a tad disheartening.

4

Do you have debug tools? If you have perhaps trying to instand build it in a new save? If not let me know and i will test it out.

5

Nah, I don’t have anything fancy. I just have the game.

Well I have attemped it with instabuild and no luck. Get an error pop-up the minute I give the command.
