I got this weird bug that highlights a wall, and it shifts depending on the angle you’re viewing it from.

Not sure how to recreate it exactly. The last thing I was doing was making windows and this happened.

Edit: I suddenly got an error message

@not_owen_wilson, another weird building bug for you! This was weird; it puts a clone of the wall in the back of the structure.

**Summary:**  
When designing a home sometimes I get the following

As you can see from the image above, there is suddenly an extra 2 walls added to the build. They can not be removed and remain on the map even if you delete the blueprint you’re working on.

I have had this in multiple new games now. Happens with already designed homes as with newly designed homes. The game basically becomes unplayable due to it always bugging anything you wanna place there

Latest steam build, mods debugtools and farming/food mod

hey there @Doc_Brano,

just merged your post over here as they are the same error and bug 🙂

one thing i’m curious about was your thread title “strange building crash”, did/ does your game actually crash after you get the error?

@8BitCrab Well the building part of the game crashes. The villagers keep walking, messages keep popping up but they won´t build it and you can´t build anything with it. Must say it is not moving or changing position like the original poster mentioned. but seeing i did not consider this a building bug or anything, just thought hmmm building part crashes.

alright, generally when we say “crash” we are referring to the entire game actually quitting/closing, not just part of the game bugging out and stopping working.

kinda butchered that explanation, probably need some more coffee…

we don’t _actually_ want the game to crash, i was just trying to point out the difference between a bug and a crash. 😛

I did notice that when you save a build with the ghost wall on it, it saves the build with out the ghost wall. Also noticed that when it occures, it will occure on all buildings at the same time. Was pretty funny seeing 4 buildings with the same ghost wall
