Stairs and ramps prevent placement of foundations in front at same level.

---

Bug Reproduction:

1. Use build hammer and select stairs or ramp of any building type, T1, T2 or T3
2. Place stairs or ramp
3. Select foundation of any building type, T1, T2 or T3
4. Attempt to place foundation in front at same level
5. See that it doesn’t ghost green
6. Move your cursor around and will eventually get a grey ghost with red X and error “Cannot place while overlapping another object”
7. Remove stairs or ramp
8. See that foundation can be placed, place in the intended spot
9. Re-place stairs or ramp

I realize little building things like this have always been in the game in one shape or form. However, it stands to reason that if I can place something, in front, on top of, next to or inside of in a particular order, shouldn’t there be no order? Especially if stability is not a requirement. And in some cases, some of the functionality of placing in any order had previously been fine. If accidentally removing a piece and it requires you to take down an entire section just to allow the stability to be increased or a certain aesthetic, this can be entirely frustrating. Not to mention the act of building itself requires foreknowledge of certain steps…

This is a pre-existing issue.

Also prevents placement of ceilings if a ramp specifically is present.

But can place if ramp is removed and afterwards, re-place the ramp:
