Bug Description:

While doing some cosmetic additions to my build in H4 I’ve discovered a building dead zone running from the bottom to the top of my tower base. Anything removed cannot be replaced. There are no stability issues it is simply a case of building pieces not snapping to other pieces even where they had before. It is happening regardless of building set although it was originally Argossean.

---

Bug Reproduction:

Simply by trying to replace or add on to pieces in this dead zone.

I’ve had this happen to some flooring, but a similar trick should work:

Try placing a doorway or windowframe and replace that piece with a wall. This also works with hatchframes for ceilings.

Thanks for the reply. I did try this and other “similar” fixes. Pieces from other sets and building teirs too. I’ve tried logging out then back in. I’ve tried traveling away for extended periods of time and even removing my character’s bracelet. In nearly 7000 hours I’ve never encountered anything like this.

The no-build zones are modified often during content updates.
Could it be that that area of your build is now facing/poking into a new no-build zone and that’s why new pieces are not snapping?
Take a foundation block and try placing it next to the wall on that side (but not snapped) and see if it says “building here is not allowed”.

Probably another no build zone. It happened also around kurak. Cant build anymore, but existing bases still stand.
Cant place followers or build.

Happened with new update.
But haven’t heard anything from officials about it.

Thanks for the reply. It’s a river build and my base surrounds it by several foundations. I’m still able to build arround it and have been able to place both thralls and chests.

Thanks for your reply. I’m still able to build around the zone and place thralls and chests in it. I’ve noticed a few occasions after logging in that the pieces seem to snap properly and show as being green then I get a failure message after I try to place pieces.
