Building Issue with large stair case/pillars

Game mode: Online official
Type of issue: Bug
Server type: PvP
Region: North America


I was attempting to build a stair case to the top of the Breach consisting of sandstone stairs, pillars, and ceiling tiles. When I couldn’t extend a staircase any further I would attach the ceiling tile to the top of the staircase and put pillars under it to the ground. After you ground the ceiling tile with the pillars I ran back up and tried attaching another stair case. This didn’t work. Each time I got to this point I had to log out, log back in, and then it would allow me to place a staircase on the top of the ceiling till


Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

  1. Create stair case starting with foundation, then stairs until you couldn’t build further.
  2. Placed ceiling tile on top of stair case. And then pillars from the ceiling tile to the ground.
  3. Stair case would not attach further.
    4.log out.
  4. Log back in and you can continue building.

This happens occasionally when you were recently standing in an area you want to build.

Another work around is to swap out the pieces you’re building with a different building piece.

For example, if it won’t let you place the stairs, switch to a ceiling tile in your inventory, then back to the stairs. It will usually allow you to build the piece you want to. Another work around is to leave render distance and then return.

Hope this helps.

While a good building tip, I’m not sure if that’s what @Conanstan was trying to address. I read the OP as an issue of building stability rather than the bug that doesn’t let you place a structure piece where you were just standing. Hopefully OP can clarify.
