Weird glowing shifting wall bug

Moai · March 17, 2016, 4:06pm

I want a mod that makes walls glow like that on purpose.

This happens when you try to place a window in a wall that is to close to any other build slabs. I experienced it when trying to place a window in a house that was 2 blocks from a custom slab wall, but when I moved the house further away from the wall, there’s was no problem. Then just Save template > remove > and place template where you want.

SachielMF · March 18, 2016, 9:45am

Happened to me with a free standing house with no slabs at all used or near it.

Again today a glowing wall appeared. When saving and restarting the glowing wall was gone but when i told them to build it i got the error. Funny thing is when i desinged it with out the doors and windows there was no error when telling them to build it. After that i pauses the build again so i could re-design it with windows and doors in it and i did not get the error message like before.

Hopefully this will help solve it

Nice find, doesn’t work in my case (two story building, btw), though. Or did you save and reload as well? And did your Hearthlings already start building or did you just click “build” and then immediately “pause” and “edit”?

I get this a lot too. I find that just finish blueprinting and save it and reloading the game fixes it. I tend to notice this happens when u try and place a door or window on the wall or hit the columns with it.

Doc_Brano · March 18, 2016, 12:27pm

Will try to make a video on how this error occures and how it will not occure other wise. Hopefully I will have time to make it today. Now to find inspiration for a particulairy difficult build heheheh

I get this same with Ascendy frequently too. Though the error reports always state something different. First thought I was just doing something too stupid or complex for the building engine to handle, but seems like I am not the only one.

…I’ll try to upload a save and logs next time I encounter this too xD

Powerclank · March 18, 2016, 1:05pm

If I understand well, this will create an invisible wall within the real wall and then create the bug?

Tomasz_Klosowski · March 18, 2016, 1:46pm

In fact the moment that I hover with the window over a wall, a ghost copy of this wall appears at the bottom of the structure and an error pop-up appears. The wall stays there as it was supposed to be built. Sometimes it goes through the building sometimes it goes outside (depends which wall you try to put the window on).

Doc_Brano · March 18, 2016, 1:54pm

We have a combined topic on the forum at Weird glowing shifting wall bug about thi issue. Most likely this post will be added to it by a moderator. Paging @8BitCrab

sdee · March 18, 2016, 5:37pm

I’ve found that if I save the building as a template, and then place the template, the glowing wall is gone. Then I can remove the original and put the template down instead and keep going. It’s a terrible workaround, but maybe it can be of some help until @not_owen_wilson has a chance to take a look!

Doc_Brano · March 18, 2016, 8:58pm

managed to find some time and try out different options with pretty simpel builds I made. Made a vid of it trying to localise the precise point that triggers the error. As far as i could see it happens when you cross the second floor layer. Tryed it with and without build that had slabs. All builds are completely buildable by the heartlings. Did not manage to get the follow up error on saved templates that had the first error and when placed as a saved template would not build because of second error. Hopefully the vid wil not be to boring. Also some tiny other small buggings like not wanting to place windows appeared, but thats not really an issue right now.

The error with the window is know and affect many players. Weird glowing shifting wall bug is the topic for it. For that i’m paging @8BitCrab

As for the roof issue i would say it would most likely fall under [A14/A15] The buildings my hearthling will not build Thread Here there are many buildings that for some reason will not be build.

Your post is very usefull though due to all the vids and extra’s you added. Even if your english is not really good. (My english is not much better i believe)

clamy7 · March 19, 2016, 8:09am

Summery: So the “wall glitch thingy” is this bug I discovered when making a building.

Steps to reproduce:

Im not sure if it even is but First you make a foundation that 30W and 15L Then make walls on it and a yellow roof that is 1 block high
Next place a door on the side that dose not have an overhang and there you have yourself a bug.

Expected Results: Im not exactly sure what this is for so im going to leave it blank. (blank.)

Actual Results: Well it didn’t crash me It just kept repeating sounds like people walking. But I couldn’t Erase the glitched wall without remaking the building. This did not work.

Notes: Well it sucks. and below is the thingy it made.

Yeah, I started getting that glitch too with this new update. At least I can still place the doors, though. I just save my game, then reload it and the glitched ‘extra’ wall is then gone. Try that, see if it works. It always does for me, so.

jomaxro · March 19, 2016, 8:20am

Hey there @KSP_video_Channel, @clamy7, welcome to the Discourse! This is a popular bug at the moment, and we are merging all the reports here. No fix yet, but @sdee posted a workaround above.

Phezzy · March 19, 2016, 8:04pm

I have ghost walls pop up with engine error while playing acendancy. I find that if I make a building by making walls, placing my windows and doors second, then placing the roof last I can avoid getting this error.
