1. Single/Coop or dedicated?
2. If dedicate, what server?
3. Are you in a clan?
4. If not dedicated, can you share your game.db with me?

Thanks.

I’m on official server 402. Im in a clan, but i left the clan and it is still not letting me place anything. I fought for a while and was eventually able to get a fire built. Now it lets me build a foundation, but the foundation doesnt actually build, it just goes away from my inventory. How do I share my game.db with you?

Now i can build in a few spots, but hardly anywhere else. I’m not even sure what else I can say at this point.

Ya so it is only letting me build on really flat spots. I cant build anywhere but right in the open. Can’t build near cliffs or water or anything complex. When I do start building, it wont let me snap to things like it should. Like, i can’t build ceiling tiles in all directions from a foundation. I can only build in like 3 or 4 directions.

sorry i just ended up swapping servers. honestly the privately owned servers seem to be far more stable and less buggy with the new update. Also, KUDOs for rapid response!

Can’t find your character in the database file, are you sure you spelled it correctly?

When did you create your character?  
Could you please pop back into 402 and get me location of your base? Press CTRL + SHIFT + L and copy paste whatever is in the text field.

Thanks for the info newt.  
I made a character and added myself to your clan. Whenever I tried building somewhere, I was told the land is already claimed. Which seems to be caused by old land claim rules conflicting with new ones. In theory, this type of error should not occur after server wipe as every newly build structure will have to obey new land claim rules.

But we’ll look into it.

As far as I know, the wipe is planned for release of the game on 8th of may. Thanks for the info, if you find anything else, please let me know and I’ll look into it.

We are having the same issue on our personal server, can place blocks sometimes after a server restart for a very short time and then no one on the server can place them, no walls on existing buildings, no foundations or pillars, nothing.
