Bug Description:

Assorted placeables can’t be placed in the area where purge took place.

Bug Reproduction:

  1. Build purge base. 2. Summon purge and see the coffer stuck in the “scouting” mode forever. 3. Remove the coffer and place it again. 4. Summon another purge and finish it succesfully. 5. Try to make some arrangements and build more things in that area, but fail in these attemts. 6. Summon few more succesfully finished purges, while still not being able to build placeables (like doors or storages) in the area, even two hours after that.

The only things that can be built in that area are building pieces like foundations, walls or doorframes.

Greetings @Archivist ,

Thank you for your report.

If so, please follow the steps to verify your game files in order to see if this happens again:

  3. Select the Installed files
  4. Select Verify integrity of game files….

Thanks in advance.

Hello @ZahMaiatt and thanks for your reply.

Yes, I’ve tried everything that came to my mind to fix the problem in the game (removing bracelet, teleporting away, logging off and back on, restarting game, restarting Steam, restarting whole PC) and nothing helped.

I did verify the files like you adviced me and got this message:

2 files failed to validate and will be reacquired.

EDIT:
Today the same happened again, about an hour ago. First attempt to summon purge in another place resulted in the same neverending “SCOUTING” mode. After verifying the files I restarted Steam and tried again, but it didn’t help.

After removing the previous coffer, I now tried to build some placeables like yesterday and I have the same problem. It looks like this:

First I was getting “Invalid building location” message, but now I am getting nothing. Anything that is greened in building mode just won’t place when I click, it just wont react in any way and I won’t get any error message while trying to place it.

The only thing I CAN place is another treasure coffer.
